I really like this vest. I bought it mostly to wear under a jacket while hunting on very cold days. The battery life ranges are accurate to what the directions list. On a full charge I get a hair over 3 hours on high setting. Low setting is about 6 hours. For hunting I don’t turn it on until I start getting cold. It’s not a blast of heat but it definitely makes a warm difference and cuts the chill. I’ve also noticed I don’t need to layer as heavy since I’ve started being this in the woods. I’ve also work the vest out if we are going to be walking anywhere while cold as it is very well made and looks sharp. Good for outside fall sporting events.
The battery does take a while to charge full. Haven’t timed it but I’m guessing 6-8 hours. So you just have to get use to putting it on a charge right after use so it’s ready to go the next time you need it. The heat areas are chest, back and collar. This model does not have heat in the pockets area. That’s the only thing I wish it had, but it’s not a deal breaker at all. Otherwise this is a good product and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
The Dude –
I bought to use for bike riding, haven’t tried that yet, but I spent an evening outside at a X-mas mart in 25 degree weather. I wore what I would normally during a sub 45 degree ride minus the thin water wicking first layer. I wore a heavy brown thermal top under the vest(made for cops) and a heavy black cotton hoodie over it. I pre-heated it for 5-10 minutes in the house, but found that to be unnecessary later on. I waited outside for the family in the driveway to test and ended up switching it to medium(I’m more sensitive to heat than cold unless acclimated) . In the car I had to switch to low and then barely noticed it. Outside throughout the evening I constantly switched from high to medium depending on the activity that my body created the necessary heat for. I am holding off for the final verdict until I go on a sub 35 degree bike ride for which I bought the garment.
The product itself. Of everything I found on the market, the heat zones were the most logical. Typically when riding in the cold initially, the cold wind on the upper chest is the most unbearable and the the heat zone placement and thickness is made perfectly for that. The front shoulders can be an issue and this is covered too. You don’tneed anything around your stomach unless your a glamour model so those other products are just stupid. This would make me nauseous probably. The top back is good too, I might make a thin zone down the spine, but let me try it on a ride. The back of the neck is a nice touch, I’ll have to decide if that’s a true selling point. Besides for the top front, I wish the garment was a bit thinner and more elastic. From a pure warming solution, the garment must be snug at all times like a wetsuit. I saw nothing out there that compares to this really, so I guess I won’t complain too much. I’m 5’11” and 265lb. I’m big boned and fairly bulky still from surfing a number of years ago. I’ve got a big belly(inherited). I bought an XL and besides for my belly, it’s nice and snug like a glove. My belly will stretch that puppy out eventually.
I’m really glad this company is seriously addressing cold weather activity solutions with this new technology. They should really expand their line for other parts of the body. I’m not sure if my arms would need anything if my core is good. I doubt that would be addressed for the consumer market due to lower sales volumes, but a leg solution is something that would be a good seller. I would design a medium weight thermal long john solution with wide zones on the front and back of the thighs. I seriously don’t remember thinking my calves were cold, so that would not be required. Also, the back thigh pad needs to be designed as not to obstruct any part of a sitting posture. That would both damage the product and entice unwanted wiggling around for comfort. Butts are made to handle all conditions. Then I would consider something for the top of the feet and intelligently designed gloves. I think for gloves, just the top side of the fingers might be good enough.
I’ll update once I really work this thing out with any hidden flaws revealed. BTW, does anybody know where I can get a helmet with a heated air ex-changer built in? NASA????
[Edit]
Went for my first 33 degree bike ride today. It was mostly sunny. Wore a sleeveless T-Shirt, then a medium weight(very well designed textured fleece) by REI long sleeve top. I had an old cheap fleece sweat shirt and I cut the shirt off below the Pectorals because I needed another layer on my arms but didn’t want body bulk and I wanted to wear the vest with just a wet layer and a single thermal layer. On top I wore my thick cotton hoodie for protection like I always do.
I turned it on high right before I jumped on the bike and started riding. I was a bit de-conditioned so I didn’t quite make my 23mph average speed. After the 15 – 20 minute warm up period( the worst part of a cold day ride) I was too warm. I was never was cold at all up to this point core body, but my arms started out a bit chilly at first, but went bearable cool. I turned it down to medium I thought but after the ride I saw that it was on blue. This was very comfortable and the added benefit was when I stopped for liquids my soaked tee shirt never felt cold, but rather a cool warm which was quite invigorating. My legs where pretty bulked do to all that layers, so I don’t know how much that contributed to my core body heat regulation.
This is where I saw that first problem. Once dressed and on the bike, there was no easy way to adjust that vest levels. I think that button should be moved to the bottom right hem of the vest so you can snag it with one hand to operate it and also pull away from you a little to observe the color. Also, this would solve that failure point other buyers mentioned about the thin wiring connections up at the button. With the button on the waist, you could mold a thicker RTV block into the fabric so the wiring would permanently secured and protected from mechanical stress. Even put a heavy duty 2 pin connector right into the mold so the switch assembly could be swapped out. You can use female connector pins soldered and heat shrunk right on to two loose wires on the vest side to save costs.
I only charged the battery once since I had the vest and when I started today it showed 3/4 and after the 1:40 hr ride it showed 2/4. With my experience with Li-ON batteries, there’s probably 20-30% of stated operational hours left in the battery. It will take a while to gauge real max usage time due to discharge rates being dependent on both the usable life point of the battery and ambient temperature at time of usage. Lets keep the fingers crossed for longevity of the gear.

Well packaged, good quality material and comfortable. I’m 6 feet, 175 lbs with a medium build and the large fits perfectly. As far as the performance, that’s why the 3 stars. I’ve worn it 5 times in about 35 degree weather on the medium setting and it tops out at 104 degrees-not terrible. The battery life on medium is 4 hours not 5 as stated. It takes about 5 hours to fully charge the battery. One big problem I had to fix myself. The cable that connects from the switch to the battery, not the charging cable, doesn’t fit snug enough into the battery to keep it heated. I have to wrap a rubber band around the battery to the top of the connection part of the cable to hold it in place. Electrical tape would also work. Really not a big deal, but for the price, it should be addressed by the company. I’d bet that some of the bad battery reviews are the result of the same issue I’m having. This is not an all day vest unless you have a few extra batteries. I’d say it would be fine for dog walks, shoveling snow and running a few errands.
Update, The company responded to my review and sent me a new battery which I received in three days. Can’t beat that. I really do like this vest and use it on the medium setting which is fairly toasty. They claim 116 degrees, I measured 111 degrees which is close enough. Just keep in mind to maintain that temp you have to wear a coat over the vest to keep the warmth in. The fact the company responded so quickly tells me they’re in for the long haul and will take care of you if there’s a problem with their product. And yes, I’m keeping the vest because it keeps my old bones warm.

—-update—- the vendor contacted me and shipping me a new one! Anne is very helpful and attentive.. pleasantly surprised with the customer service level from the vendor.
I bought the venustas heating vest for my boyfriend as recommended by my friend who is very satisfied with this. Unfortunately, I guess something is not right.
I charged it for 6 hours as recommended initially (note that the battery was already at 72 when I plugged it) and now I put it on and it does not flash at all, becomes red right away. The heat is not everywhere and barely heats up. My friend said that at the red level, it should be really hot, now it’s like it’s very low and not even all where it should be. The battery went from 100 to 50 in not even one hour.
I am very sad because it’s still a very good amount that I paid and I wanted this one because it does heat on the shoulders. My friend says to call customer service because there is a defect with the product, not normal. Hers becomes very hot at red and the battery does not go down that fast. The fact that it does not flash is also not good, it’s written in the booklet to contact customer service when not flashing.
I did send an email to the company, but no one responded. I saw reviews that said that the vendor contacted them right away. I really wanted this vest for my boyfriend. Hopefully someone will contact me.
Mitch Richardson –
The vest worked great ! I used it on my motorcycle ride through the mountains to Cranbrook on a chilly October 4 and it kept me perfectly warm. The three different levels of heat were perfect. I wore it under my motorcycle jacket and it lasted right through my ride approx 6 hours.
I would recommend this vest.
Dave H –
This product is excellent. Yes there are less expensive ones but in this case, you get what you pay for. It feels comfortable and well made. It has kept me warm in this Canadian winter.
I am 5’7″; 155 lb…the Medium fits perfectly I tend to get cold easily but this allows me to get out for long periods and enjoy our winter.
I have had no issues as I see in other reviews with the battery.
Even the packaging was impressive.
The instructions are clear (and not printed with a small font which is difficult to read). And even is laminated.
It’s evident that the company cares about the product. There’s many notices of the return policy and warranty with a direct line to the company if there’s any issues. And I received an email to that effect directly from the company.
As you can guess, I highly recommend this product.
Derek –
This is an excellent heated vest. If you need the high heat setting for an entire day you better buy the upgraded battery though. The battery that comes with this vest is really slow to charge and only lasts on high heat for around 5 hours. The upgraded battery lasts twice as long and charges from 0-100 a lot faster!
David Scheffelmair –
Very comfortable vest. Heats up good. Looking forward to the colder weather to put it to work
Robert R. –
This vest is perfect. I researched vests before I bought. This Venustas vest met and surpassed my expectations, heated neck, shoulders back and chest. The three heat settings worked great I kept mine on medium and the battery lasted slightly less than advertised, which is understandable.
I did have a minor problem, the vest plug continued to disengage from the battery, which meant no power. I fixed this by holding the plug into battery by elastic band. I contacted Venustas, explained the problem, and I was told a new battery would be on its way. The battery being the problem likely as it did not seat the plug properly. Two days later battery arrived, charged it and plugged vest in. I could tell right away that this would fix the problem and the battery held the plug in securely. Great. I would like to commend my service representative, Christian and Venustas for having superb customer service. No hassle, polite and professional communication.
If you are looking for a Great Heated Vest look no further than Veustas Heated Apparel.
If you want excellent, professional customer service then again look no further than Venustas Vests.

I commute about 15 miles from Downtown Denver, either by motorcycle or bicycle-train-bicycle. This vest seems to block the wind pretty well and the heat is awesome. Some heat the front only on the abdomen but this one heats the chest as well. On the motorcycle I wear it under my Aerostich Roadcrafter suit and on the bicycle under a coat. Battery life is not awesome, but good enough. The sizing is pretty accurate for US mens. I am 5’8″ and 167 pounds and first bought the large but returned it for a medium which still gives me room to wear over a warm shirt.

I have a heating jacket from this brand three years ago and it has been great. I ordered a vest for my hockey player and Tested It at ice rinks this weekend. It worked very well and kept him warm. Besides the heating function, the material of the vest is also high quality. I just ordered one more for my husband.

I bought this for my husband who is recovering from cancer treatment and was always cold. He loves it and wears it daily now that it is the cooler time of year.
The original battery did not hold a charge and the company was very good about promptly sending a replacement after deciding it was no other issue with the vest.

Ça fait plus de 2 ans que je l’utilise et elle fonctionne encore super bien, même après plusieurs lavages. La batterie incluse tient bien et chauffe rapidement. Franchement rien à dire, c’est juste parfait, je recommande à 100 %. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Donald S. –
This vest is awesome. I will say the first battery is for died the first time I used it and wouldn’t charge again. They sent me a new battery and I’ve been using it ever since. I love my heated vest. It’s so cozy perfect for the harsh winter. Fits me perfectly, light weight and seems to be made well.

This was a gift for my dad and he loves it! He’s a big fisherman and he’s already worn it on a couple of fishing trips. He said it works great and keeps him so warm. He has a large belly so I was worried about the fit but this vest fits him fine. He normally wears an XL. It’s only been a week so I don’t know when or if the battery will stop working but so far so good.
L Jarrett –
This heated vest was exactly what I wanted. My husband absolutely loves it and has been wearing it ever since it arrived!

Awesome vest. Warm and comfy. Only 4 star because the battery doesn’t last long and very hard to find another that compatible.

Day one I wore it for hours, powered off and also on. The battery charged up as expected. I’m impressed by the quality. I didn’t notice much difference on the heat settings, but it blocked the wind and kept me comfortable.
Becky –
Love this for hunting season!! It was a great addition to my winter gear.
Bettina –
UPDATE:Customer service was not only extremely responsive, they were very fast to send a new battery to me. It is apparent that they care about safety and were very concerned and apologetic for the faulty battery. I ended up having an issue with the attachment part inside the vest (which I believe was due to the battery malfunction) so they promptly sent a replacement vest.
: I’ve had this vest for about one year now. Living in Maryland, it was only used a few times last winter and now that it’s getting chilly again I pulled it out of the coat closet to charge the battery and it seems as though the battery has malfunctioned. Almost like something melted or expanded within that pushed the seam open. This is so scary as it looks like something overheated. Obviously, there’s nothing I can do with this vest now other than to purchase a new battery pack, as we are obviously outside of the return window.

As I have a habit of napping in my truck at lunchtimes (-21C is the lowest I’ve been able to tolerate & I have a pillow, quilt & blanket).
This was bought to make the nap in colder temperatures a little more tolerable & also handy other external tasks or venturing outdoors.
I do not like bulky puffer jackets as I prefer to “layer up”.
I have found it comfortable in wearing, I start the preheat 5 minutes while I am readying to depart while putting on a fleece & coat over it, the heat around the neck & upper body. is a comfort as I hit the cold air.
Battery lasts about four hours, my commute is approximately 30 mins each way with a hour for lunch so I usually charge it up via USB-C after lunch so its ready for my departures from work & home.
Its a nice compliment to my driving comfort, in a cold cab with heated seats until the truck starts blowing out decent heat (Yes I do remote start it typically 10 mins prior to departure).
I have not had the opportunity to use the battery pack as a emergency phone charger.
Ironically we have had a pretty mild winter with temperatures in December so far & we have a incoming Polar Vortex this weekend which will be a further test of its functionality.

I bought this vest after scrolling through a lot of the cheaper brands and versions of this product. But apparently… Chunky Monkeys like myself don’t get cold in the winter. Shouldn’t be that hard to find fatty boom-boom sizes in ‘Murica!
Quality is Good, Size is true to fit, it works fantasic, and the battery life is what is advertised.
The vest isn’t too heavy or thick. But warms up nicely when in use. Zipper is not finky at all and doesn’t get stuck.
If you are in between sizes… I would recommend going SMALLER so that is form fitting and you can feel the heat.
TLDR; Worth the Price. Quality is Great, Works how it should, and easy to use. If you are Plus Size, look no further… this is what you want.

We had a few cold days this year. The vest was nice and toasty.
Justin D.A. Burla –
Fat guy here. One of the only times I’ve bought an item my size and it actually fit nicely. 4 stars instead of 5 cuz the equipped battery really doesn’t last long and the heat isn’t as hot as advertised. Since the battery doesn’t attach via USB to the vest its hard to find a better one.

I’m very pleased with this heated vest. I’ve walked my dogs in recent temperatures of -15 degrees (F) and the vest has been terrific keeping me warm. The statement from the vendor regarding battery duration seems to be accurate from what I’ve been experiencing. It’s definitely a good product for us that experience being cold, in or out of our homes!
Robin Simons –
This is one of my favorite vests. It’s comfortable and warm even without turning on the warming function. The battery lasts as long as expected. It’s easy to go to different settings. This is good quality and easy to use. The zipper is very durable. It also looks great. The bottom is fitted so it doesn’t ride up.

And the collar doesn’t heat up
Tried to charge battery again after draining but same result
And the collar still doesn’t work
Will be returning soon
Dominique Fortin –
Bought it for my man who works in carpentry. He builds houses so he’s outside in the cold most of the time but once a house is up n heated there’s lots of in and out so this vest is perfect he says. It’s good to keep on inside without the heat and perfect to keep him warm when he’s outside. Extra battery might be an asset seeing as he works 12-14 hrs.
K.G. –
This material is super soft and the sizing is right on.
It is lightweight but packs a nice warm punch.
Definitely get one for whoever is on your list.

This is the second vest we have. I received one for my birthday and it has become invaluable for warmth and comfort while walking my pup, or during inconsistent home climate. It charges quickly and depending on the level of warmth selected can last several hours before requiring a recharge.

I just received the vest today. I was already familiar with the operation because I purchased their quilted nylon vest a week before. I was only going to buy a second battery, but the battery is $60.00 & the fleece vest with the battery is $90.00, so I figured it would be better to get both vests & have two batteries.
As for sizing, I’m 5’11” & 170 lbs. & the “Large” in both vests is a perfect fit. The fleece vest is thinner than the nylon version and also slightly more snug fitting. It also lacks the drawstring at the bottom & instead, just has elastic. I don’t use the drawstring, anyway. Both have good quality zippers – very important on this type of garment. A minor issue for some – since the fleece vest is thinner & lighter, the battery is felt a bit more & it creates a slight bulge; not noticeable in a dark color.
I like the way the vest starts on “High,” then changes to “Medium” automatically. It only takes three or four minutes to heat up. I fully charged the battery when the vest arrived this morning & used it on my walk, where the temperature was around 55-60. That may not seem very cold to most people but I have a real problem with being cold at any temperature below 75. I wore a long-sleeve polyester shirt under it & a thick jacket over it. While on my walk, I didn’t need to turn the vest’s heat on & I left the vest and the jacket unzipped. But when I sat down on a bench, I got cold quickly & needed the “High” setting. And I wore it in the house with the house’s heat off. The battery worked for seven hours while alternating between “Medium” & “High.”
I’ve heard it’s best to wear a thin, breathable shirt under the vest. That allows more heat to get to your skin.

Update. 11/14. It did it’s job. Riding down the 60. It was 45 outside. It was cold. My feet and hands were cold. But my middle body. Stayed warm and comfortable through my 2 hour ride. For the cons now. 1) It died an hour and a half after my start. I will test with accurate timing next time. 2) it takes close takes hours to charge from 0% to 100% there is no way you can let it charge for an hour or two and expect to get 15%. 3) it’s a RC port. I 100% understand that it’s best because it allows the cord not get bent and it moves freely. But this does put a big hole in I might not get another one after this one breaks. Just because it’s a RC port. I can’t just pop any battery on it. Also it being a RC port. Makes it very hard to find a portable battery since no one really uses RC ports now. If you change to C type. I’ll be buying one after another once they completely break.
Over all 4 stars. It’s comfortable. It gets pretty warm. As a stand alone with no power It still keeps you warm. It’s stylish. It fit perfect. Change to a C type. You’ll have a repeating customer.
I just got the vest. The purpose of me getting this vest. are for 2 reasons. 1) for work. CA is currently cold. 2) for when I ride I don’t freeze at night.
I am not sure if I’m that cold or if it doesn’t get that hot. I am currently 20 minutes in and I don’t feel much of a difference. I can feel myself getting warm. But not at the level and speed I was hoping for. I put my jacket over the vest and I did feel a bigger difference because of the insulation. But as a stand alone. I’m still a little iffy. I’ll update Monday. I’m taking my first 200 straight mile trip this weekend. I’ll update my review on the vest than.
No I didn’t ride with the vest alone. I am currently testing it around the house and standing outside. I want to give it a fair chance and review on the vest. I 100% understand I won’t get the sun in a vest. I’m just trying to stay realistic warm at night.

The Venustas Men’s Fleece Heated Vest with Battery has been an absolute game-changer for me, especially during chilly mornings and outdoor activities. Here’s why I’m giving it a well-deserved 5 stars:
✅ Incredible Warmth:
The heating elements are strategically placed, providing consistent warmth to the core areas (chest and back). It’s perfect for staying comfortable, even in freezing temperatures. The adjustable heat settings are easy to use and allow for personalized comfort.
✅ Lightweight and Comfortable:
Despite being packed with technology, the vest is lightweight and doesn’t feel bulky at all. The fleece material is soft and cozy, making it comfortable to wear all day, whether as a standalone layer or under a jacket.
✅ Long-Lasting Battery:
The included battery is impressive! It heats the vest for hours on a single charge, making it ideal for long outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or even watching sports. The USB port on the battery is a great bonus for charging my phone on the go.
✅ Stylish and Functional Design:
The vest has a sleek, modern look and fits well without being restrictive. The pockets are spacious and conveniently placed, and the zippers feel sturdy. It’s both practical and stylish.
✅ Versatile Uses:
This vest is not just for outdoor enthusiasts—it’s been a lifesaver for me while working in cold environments and during my daily walks. It’s also a great gift idea for anyone who struggles with the cold.
Final Thoughts:
The Venustas Heated Vest is worth every penny. It combines functionality, comfort, and style in one outstanding product. If you’re looking for a reliable heated vest that keeps you warm and cozy without sacrificing mobility, this is the one to get. Highly recommended for anyone who spends time outdoors or just wants to stay toasty during winter!

I wear this vest at night when I’m sleeping in whether that’s 60° and below. I wear it all night long and on the low setting the battery last all night no problem. The quality of the vast seems great to me. I mean, I wear it every night and nearly no breakdowns no issues. I do have spare batteries that are a little bit larger than the original battery and the pocket is a little bit too small for it, but not not really a problem. I’ve noticed that since there’s wires inside of it and actually takes on a body temperature when it’s not even turned on and it helps stay warm all in all I would recommend this vest all day long.

Very high quality and works great with long battery life. Makes late winter tailgating at football games enjoyable again!
Keith W. –
Love this jeated vest. Top quality, heats well. Keeps me toasty warm while out hunting in my blind. I pack one battery and it lasts for as long as I use it which is typically 4 hours and it still got power in itwhen I get home. I haven’t had any issues with this vest.
Rich Cameron –
Very happy with this vest. I would buy it again.
The battery works good and not too bulky against the body .
Down side was the instructions were not very good at the operation of the vest.
Little trial and error and have the operation figured out to get the most life out of the battery.
Brandon Hayes –
This is a great vest. I lost some weight and my blood pressure returned to normal and I found myself cold while working in my office environment. I can pop this on over my polo and it looks sharp, has three levels of heat to set the right balance, and warms up fast. I purchased a second battery for when I need more than 4-6 hours of heat. The larger battery provides 8-10 hours. This is perfect for colder days watching children’s sports from a bleacher, or really anywhere a chill may be had. It’s nice that it has pockets for my hands to keep warm, though the heating elements don’t extend that far. Just nice to protect them from the direct air. I have worn it a bunch and it holds up like a charm. The button to turn it on is clear, Hold for a couple of seconds, it starts warming up. Quick press after, and it changes the heat level. The inside pocket that holds the battery zips up so you don’t lose it. The one I bought fits snug, but I’m a bigger guy. The battery is noticeable if you share a similar body style but conceals nicely if you get a size that isn’t so snug. Worth every penny.

The heated vest is great. Keeps your neck and chest warm for over three hours.

I can’t say enough about the customer service and the communications from Venustas – I had purchased 2 vests from other sellers and one didn’t fit (sixe chart wrong) and the other one came without a battery – so, I decided I was going to spend more$$$ for a vest and get a better quality and found Venustas – do to other issue with the other companies I reached out and discussed sizing with the company – I was assured the sizing chart was accurate and I was told if I had any issues they would back it up even after the warranty period. I communicated with Samantha a number of times even after recieving my vest. I was impressed with the quality and ease of using. I would highly recomment this to anyone looking for a quality products and with the option of being able to communicate with Venustas. You can buy this without any apprehension. Cheers

I just received the vest today. I was already familiar with the operation because I purchased their quilted nylon vest a week before. I was only going to buy a second battery, but the battery is $60.00 & the fleece vest with the battery is $90.00, so I figured it would be better to get both vests & have two batteries.
As for sizing, I’m 5’11” & 170 lbs. & the “Large” in both vests is a perfect fit. The fleece vest is thinner than the nylon version and also slightly more snug fitting. It also lacks the drawstring at the bottom & instead, just has elastic. I don’t use the drawstring, anyway. Both have good quality zippers – very important on this type of garment. A minor issue for some – since the fleece vest is thinner & lighter, the battery is felt a bit more & it creates a slight bulge; not noticeable in a dark color.
I like the way the vest starts on “High,” then changes to “Medium” automatically. It only takes three or four minutes to heat up. I fully charged the battery when the vest arrived this morning & used it on my walk, where the temperature was around 55-60. That may not seem very cold to most people but I have a real problem with being cold at any temperature below 75. I wore a long-sleeve polyester shirt under it & a thick jacket over it. While on my walk, I didn’t need to turn the vest’s heat on & I left the vest and the jacket unzipped. But when I sat down on a bench, I got cold quickly & needed the “High” setting. And I wore it in the house with the house’s heat off. The battery worked for seven hours while alternating between “Medium” & “High.”
I’ve heard it’s best to wear a thin, breathable shirt under the vest. That allows more heat to get to your skin.

This vest is perfect. I researched vests before I bought. This Venustas vest met and surpassed my expectations, heated neck, shoulders back and chest. The three heat settings worked great I kept mine on medium and the battery lasted slightly less than advertised, which is understandable.
I did have a minor problem, the vest plug continued to disengage from the battery, which meant no power. I fixed this by holding the plug into battery by elastic band. I contacted Venustas, explained the problem, and I was told a new battery would be on its way. The battery being the problem likely as it did not seat the plug properly. Two days later battery arrived, charged it and plugged vest in. I could tell right away that this would fix the problem and the battery held the plug in securely. Great. I would like to commend my service representative, Christian and Venustas for having superb customer service. No hassle, polite and professional communication.
If you are looking for a Great Heated Vest look no further than Veustas Heated Apparel.
If you want excellent, professional customer service then again look no further than Venustas Vests.

Awesome vest. Warm and comfy. Only 4 star because the battery doesn’t last long and very hard to find another that compatible.
Juan –
Well packaged, good quality material and comfortable. I’m 6 feet, 175 lbs with a medium build and the large fits perfectly. As far as the performance, that’s why the 3 stars. I’ve worn it 5 times in about 35 degree weather on the medium setting and it tops out at 104 degrees-not terrible. The battery life on medium is 4 hours not 5 as stated. It takes about 5 hours to fully charge the battery. One big problem I had to fix myself. The cable that connects from the switch to the battery, not the charging cable, doesn’t fit snug enough into the battery to keep it heated. I have to wrap a rubber band around the battery to the top of the connection part of the cable to hold it in place. Electrical tape would also work. Really not a big deal, but for the price, it should be addressed by the company. I’d bet that some of the bad battery reviews are the result of the same issue I’m having. This is not an all day vest unless you have a few extra batteries. I’d say it would be fine for dog walks, shoveling snow and running a few errands.
Update, The company responded to my review and sent me a new battery which I received in three days. Can’t beat that. I really do like this vest and use it on the medium setting which is fairly toasty. They claim 116 degrees, I measured 111 degrees which is close enough. Just keep in mind to maintain that temp you have to wear a coat over the vest to keep the warmth in. The fact the company responded so quickly tells me they’re in for the long haul and will take care of you if there’s a problem with their product. And yes, I’m keeping the vest because it keeps my old bones warm.

I used to have a heated verst for my BMW motorcycle. It plugged into the bike.I rode all winter and it saved my from freezing on my long trips. I have everything so my wife asked what could she get the guy who has everything. I said a heated vest. We looked and found the only A rated vest on FakeSpot on Amazon. I could not get it to turn on because I didn’t read the directions properly. I didn’t want to just return it. I called for customer service and was shocked to get really excellent service. They let me know they were going to get me satisfaction but asked if they could try to trouble shoot before a return. I got several tests with intructions and was checked back on after I dropped the ball. I was pushing the wrong button thinking it turned on from the battery. The control is on the vest. It came on perfectly and lit up the different colors for various heat settings. I popped it on. Super comfy and light too. I added a my coat and went out to work in my yard for hours. Toasty warm to where I forgot I was wearing the vest and wanted to take my coat off. I lowered the temperature and stayed out for several more hours in total comfort . I’m a total wuss and hate to be cold but dress well for the outdoors and am out in the cold a lot. THis was so good I had to take the time to write this review because i count on them when I buy. I went skiing last Sat and it was not to cold but put the heat on low and found it was so warm I turned it off. I can’t wait to test it in harsher conditions. The vest and the service werer excellent. I’m a loyal guy to that kind of treatment. I highly endorse this vest.

Fleece Heated Men’s Vest – This is so easy to use and comfortable as well for Hubby. We live in Florida but we so occasionally gets cold spells and he feels the chill more that I, so this really helped him out this past winter, it’s lightweight and it fits him very well too.. Very easy to recharge the battery as well….
