My hands go numb within minutes of being outside and it takes a good ten minutes of pain before they come back. These liners are the first thing I've worn that stops it happening in the first place rather than helping me recover afterwards.
Heated Jacket
- Winter-Ready Warmth
- Skip the layers
- Up to 16 hours of heat
Third one I've owned. First one I've kept.
First morning on the platform I had it on high, and twenty minutes later I'd switched it off entirely. It was 6°C. It's a warm jacket before you turn anything on, which is the part nobody mentions.
Read this before you choose. This jacket is cut smaller than a high-street jacket of the same letter. The size names are keyed to height — M/165 means it is cut for someone around 165 cm tall. Most people need one size up from their usual. If you plan to wear a jumper underneath, go up two.
| Size | Height | Chest (to fit) | Shoulder | Length | Hem |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | 165 cm | up to 99 cm | 44.0 cm | 66 cm | 88 cm |
| L | 170 cm | up to 103 cm | 45.2 cm | 68 cm | 92 cm |
| XL | 175 cm | up to 107 cm | 46.4 cm | 70 cm | 96 cm |
| 2XL | 180 cm | up to 111 cm | 47.6 cm | 72 cm | 100 cm |
Finding your size
It takes a minute, and you only measure once. Measure over a base layer or a thin jumper — whatever you will actually wear underneath.
- Chest. Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, and keep it level across your back. Breathe normally — don't puff up or hold it in. No tape measure? A piece of string works just as well — wrap it round, mark where it meets, then hold it against a ruler.
- Height. The body length and sleeve are cut to the height shown. If you are taller than the height listed for your chest size, take the next size up for the extra length.
- Match, then add one. Find your chest in the chart, then take the size above it. Nobody has ever complained that a heated jacket had too much room.
Between two sizes? Go up. The heating panels work best with a thin base layer underneath and no compression — a jacket pulled tight across the back holds the panels away from where you want the heat. Tight is the one thing that stops this jacket working.
Cold gets in through your core first. Everything else follows.
Once your chest and back go cold, your body pulls heat back from your hands and feet to protect them. That is why thick gloves stop working an hour into a cold morning, and why a shivering wait on a platform leaves your fingers useless. This jacket is built around the three things that actually go wrong.
- Heat where the cold lands. Nine zones across the neck and upper back, the lower back, and both front pockets. The neck and the lower back are the two places wind finds first and insulation covers worst — and the heated pockets put warmth straight onto your hands rather than through a glove.
- Warmth that doesn't turn into bulk. The usual way to stay warm is to keep adding layers until you can't turn your head. Three settings mean you turn the heat up instead. Most people run high for the first ten minutes, then drop to low and stay there — which is also where the battery lasts longest.
- A shell that earns its place with the power off. Windproof polyester outer over a brushed poly-cotton lining, so it is still a proper winter jacket when the power bank is flat. Hood and full-length front zip close the gaps that let a draught down your back.
Three settings, one button. High to warm up fast, medium to hold it, low for a long day out. The button sits on the chest, so you change setting without taking a glove off. [Optional: add your tested °C figure for each setting here once you have them.]
What is it made of?
A 100% polyester shell over a polyester-cotton blend lining. From the outside in:
- Windproof polyester shell — stops the chill that cuts through at speed, and dries quickly
- Poly-cotton blend lining — sits against your base layer rather than your skin
- Nine heating zones — neck and upper back, lower back, and both front pockets
Pockets and fit
- Heated front pockets — hands go straight onto the panel
- Full-front zip with an attached hood
- Internal power pocket — holds the power bank and keeps the cable out of the way
- Regular sleeve construction — cut for reaching and driving, not for standing still
Wind and water
Windproof, water-resistant and quick-drying. It shrugs off spray, sleet and a shower, and dries out fast afterwards. In sustained heavy rain, water will eventually find a way in — we would rather tell you now than have you find out an hour from home.
How do I care for it?
- Unplug and remove the power bank first. Never wash or soak the jacket with anything in the power pocket.
- Hand wash only. Cool water, mild detergent, no machine, no wringing. Close the zips before it goes in the water.
- Dry it slowly. Lay it flat, away from direct sun, radiators and heat guns. Direct heat damages the wiring and stiffens the shell.
- Caught in the wet? Hang it open on a wide hanger overnight so air moves through the lining. Don't fold it away damp.
- Don't dry clean, bleach, tumble dry or iron. Never iron over a heating zone.
Between seasons. Store the jacket hung and dry with the power bank out — folding it hard along a heating zone shortens the life of the elements.
No proprietary battery. It runs on a standard 5V USB power bank.
There is no special cell to lose, no charger that only fits one thing, and nothing to replace at the manufacturer's price in three years. If you already carry a power bank for your phone, you already have the battery for this jacket.
A power bank is not included. We would rather you knew that on this page than in the box. Any 5V USB power bank will run it — including the one in your bag right now. 10,000 mAh covers a normal day; 20,000 mAh covers a long one.
| Setting | 10,000 mAh | 20,000 mAh |
|---|---|---|
| High | 6–8 hours | 12–16 hours |
| Medium | 8–10 hours | 16–20 hours |
| Low | 10–12 hours | 20–24 hours |
Figures are for continuous heating at 5V. Real duration depends on how cold it is, how often you open the jacket, and the age and quality of your power bank — a well-used bank will not hold its rated capacity.
Getting the most out of a charge
- Start high, then drop. Ten minutes on high to bring the panels up to temperature, then low to hold it. Most people never go back up.
- Zip up. An open jacket loses the heat you just spent a power bank making.
- Out all day? A second power bank means you swap instead of stopping.
Power bank care
Use it at least once every two months to keep it healthy. Before storing it for a long stretch, charge it fully, then run it down to roughly 50–75%.

What customers actually say
First season I've watched a whole match
"I run cold. Always have, even in a warm house. Two hours on the side of a pitch every Saturday used to be a countdown to getting back in the car. This is the first season I've watched a whole match."
I stop arriving cold now
"Bus then train, an hour each way. I used to arrive cold and stay cold till lunch. Now I sit on the platform on medium and I'm the only one not doing the little shuffle. Turned the thermostat down at home as well."
Takes the power bank I already had
"I didn't want another jacket with its own special battery I'd have to remember to charge. This one takes the power bank already in my bag. Plugged it in, that was the setup. Only gripe is you supply your own.."

I've run heated grips on my bike for three winters so I thought my cold hands were sorted. Turns out it was the backs of my fingers the whole time. First commute in these gloves and I didn't pull over once to warm up.
I walk two dogs every morning through the winter and I need my hands for treats, poo bags and the leads. Every warm glove I'd tried meant taking them off constantly. These are thin enough that I just leave them on the whole walk.
Rode 340 miles in a day through the mountains in October. Started on high, dropped to low once I warmed up, swapped the battery at lunch. Never had cold hands and never had to cut the day short.
I've always had cold feet and I'd been looking for heated socks for my winter photo sessions, but I was worried they'd be flimsy. They aren't. Ten outings in and the heat is still even across both.
My bike used to sit in the garage from November through March. Bought the gloves in December and I've been out most days since. Three extra months of riding a year, which is the whole reason I own the thing.
I bought the vest to stop paying to heat the whole house while I work from home. I heat my body now, not the room. The heating has barely come on this month.
What sold me is the heat across the knuckles and out to the fingertips. That's where the cold actually lands, and it's the exact spot every other glove I've owned ignores completely.
My fingers go white and numb in the cold and winter photography had basically stopped being possible. These liners let me feel the shutter and keep my hands warm at the same time. I'm out taking photos again.
Pulled over on the first ride to turn the heat down. Twenty-two years of riding and that has never once happened to me.
I keep mine on at my desk. My hands used to get cold in the house before they got cold outside. Thin enough to type in, which was the thing I didn't think I'd get.
45 minutes each way to work. Going in was never the problem because my hands were warm when I left. Coming home in the dark was. These are still putting out heat when I pull into the garage.
Bought these for my mother who is 84 and stopped going out in winter. She rang me to say she'd walked to the shop and back without stopping. That was the whole point.
I deliver five nights a week. Two pairs of gloves and chemical warmers, none of it worked past the first hour. These get me through a full shift on medium. Bought a second battery so I swap at my break instead of going home early.
The socks warm up within seconds of switching them on, and the heat covers the whole foot rather than just the toes. That was my complaint with the last pair I tried.
My wife got the first pair and I borrowed them once. Ordered my own the same night.
I wear the vest under my coat at my grandson's football matches. I used to leave at half time. I watched the whole match last Saturday for the first time in years.
I stopped riding in winter about six years ago because of my hands. Nothing else about the cold bothered me. Got these in November and I'm out at the weekends again. My only regret is the six years.
I've washed the socks after nearly every wear and they're still heating exactly the same. That was the thing I was most worried about before ordering.
Wind is the real enemy, not temperature. I've got no fairing on my bike so everything hits my hands square on. These hold up at 70 on the interstate, which no glove I've owned has managed.
It's slim enough to wear under a normal coat, which the last heated vest I bought absolutely was not. I don't look like I'm wearing anything unusual.
I'm 68 and my circulation isn't what it was. My fingertips would go numb inside ten minutes no matter what I wore. These are the first gloves that actually get heat to the ends of my fingers instead of just the palm.
Ordered on the Tuesday, wearing them on the Friday. Had a question about the battery indicator and got a proper answer from a person within a few hours. Rare enough to be worth mentioning.
Buy the spare batteries at the same time. Ten seconds to swap and you've doubled your day. Cheaper than cutting a trip short.
I put the socks on in the evening after a bath and adjust the setting as I need it. I bought them for outdoors and I use them indoors more.
I have a drawer full of winter gloves that all promised the same thing. Thick ones, waterproof ones, liners, the lot. This is the first pair that works, because it's putting heat in rather than trying to hold it.
The mittens keep my fingers together and warm, and I can still get into my bag and my pockets. Every convertible pair I tried before was so bulky I couldn't do either.
Three settings is the right number. Low is plenty above freezing and high is there when you need it. I can change it without taking my hand off the bar for long.
The battery packs sit flat and don't slide down or dig in as I walk. The pair I tried two winters ago had the battery right at the cuff and I could feel it the whole time.
Second winter on these and both gloves still heat the same. More than I can say for a cheap pair I bought off a marketplace that gave up on one side in January.
I bought the liners to wear under my own mitts and it works exactly as I hoped. When I take the outer off to do something I've still got heat on my hands.
I'm outside for work all year and I go through gear fast. These have lasted the whole season without the wiring giving up at the wrist, which is where every other pair has failed on me.
My husband bought me the vest for Christmas after I'd spent three winters complaining. I've barely had it off. He's now bought one for himself.
Four days through Montana in October, mornings in the twenties, riding eight until four most days. Never lost feeling in my hands once.
I'm outside at the school gates twice a day in a Canadian winter. The socks alone made more difference than the expensive boots I bought last year.
My hands used to ache for an hour after I came in. That deep ache that isn't really cold any more, it's just pain. That's gone, and I wasn't expecting the difference to carry on after I'd taken them off.
I was very sceptical ordering something I'd seen on Facebook. It arrived quickly, it's well made, and it does what the page said. Not something I can say about most things I've ordered that way.
Riding in winter had basically ended for me. My fingers would go white at every set of lights. These keep the fingertips warm enough that I can hold the bars normally the whole way.
Warm, well made, and I like them a lot. My only note is that I wish the batteries charged faster. A few hours is a long time if you forget to plug them in the night before. Easy enough once it's a habit.
Good gloves. The fingers run slightly long on me. I was right on the line between two sizes and went with the larger, and I should have sized down like the chart says. Still warm, just a bit of room at the tips.
I got these for my mum and ended up ordering a pair for myself a fortnight later. She's stopped saying no to going out.
Took a few outings to get used to. They're thicker than what I'm used to and the first day I was fumbling. By day three I'd stopped noticing. Warm the whole time, no complaints there.
One of mine arrived with a fault and a replacement was here in a few days without any argument. I'd have given five stars for the product anyway, but the way that was handled is why I'm writing this.
No complaints about the warmth at all. On the highest setting the battery goes faster than I expected, so I run it on medium and keep it there. Once I worked that out I stopped thinking about it.
These do help and I'm glad I bought them. I would say the heat is strongest across the back of the hand and slightly less at the very ends of my fingers, which is where I feel the cold most. Still an improvement on anything else I've tried.
Solid. It took me a couple of goes to learn the button presses without looking down. Once you've counted them a few times it's second nature, but the instructions could be clearer on that.
Warm and comfortable. I wear a large in everything and the large here is snug, so if you're between sizes I'd think carefully. Worth measuring properly rather than guessing like I did.
The warmth is genuinely there. I got caught in two hours of hard rain though and water did work its way in eventually. The page does say splash resistant rather than waterproof, so that's on me for hoping. Dried out fine and still heats evenly.
I'd have liked more runtime on the highest setting for a full day out. Medium gets me there comfortably. If you're outside all day in real cold, buy the second battery up front rather than finding out.
I think I ordered the wrong size. They go on fine but there's enough room that I'm not getting the close contact I expected. Returns were handled without a fuss and I'm waiting on the swap.
I ordered large and should have ordered medium. It's loose on me and I don't feel I'm getting much out of it as a result. The quality of the thing itself is clearly good, which is why I'm exchanging rather than returning.
