I really like this vest. This is my second one because my first one was stolen. I have also purchased two others as gifts. Great addition to my coaching apparel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a work layer garment, and am utterly disappointed. The battery lasts about half as long as claimed and I spend more time trying to keep it at the heat level I want than I should. The button is in the absolute worst place they could’ve put it. It cycles to the next setting with every step. If you’re buying this for anything more than sitting in a cool room, save your sanity and buy the Milwaukee product. This is one step above garbage
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for leaving an honest review. If the battery is not lasting, you can contact us at cs@fieldsheer.com to open a warranty replacement. The battery should last 2 hours on the highest heat setting, and up to 8 on the lowest. I'm sorry the battery placement is not good for you. Our product development team takes all feedback into account when designing our products. We appreciate your input!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this vest. I use it for both work and play. The heating is great. It holds the heat much better if you wear a layer over it. The low setting is plenty warm if I wear a good insulated layer over it even when the temperature is well below freezing.
My only issue is the location of the power button. I work as a ski instructor often teaching kids. This means I am constantly bending over a helping little kids. With the power button located at the waist it is constantly getting pushed. Extremely frustrating. Last time I wore the vest when teaching kids I ended up unplugging the battery. I am curious why the power button was put in a location where it can frequently be unintentionally pressed. This is an very poor design. I have thought about purchasing a base layer top, but the power button location has stopped me from doing so. How do you tuck in a base layer top when the power button will be located directly under your belt?
I did not receive an incentive for the review. The website does not allow NO as an answer to this question.
