Nothing feels as good as being warm when it’s cold, whether you’re going about your day in a cold climate, hitting the ski slopes or just giving yourself an extra bit of warmth indoors. Or maybe you’re looking for a way to save on heating bills! In any and all of those cases, a heated vest is a simple but effective way to stay toasty even when the elements throw their worst at you, and our top pick for a quality vest is ORORO’s heated vest.

Now on sale for 20% off its usual price, this vest is a perfect match of discount and season. Let’s take a look at the tech of how this vest works and why it can be the answer to avoiding the chills this winter.

ORORO Men’s Heated Vest with Battery, $119.99 (20% off)

Any winter vest worth its salt should be comfortable regardless of whether you’re using its heating elements or not, and the ORORO provides both stylish looks and a breathable, snug yet soft fit with its fleece lining and stand-up collar. It’s also machine washable and should last through years of use — just make sure you put it inside the included mesh bag before every wash. But what makes it really stand out is its carbon fiber heating elements, located on the left and right sides at the front of the vest, as well as in the mid-back. You can choose between three heat settings, from low to high, by pressing the button on the front of the vest, and the included battery heats up the elements, keeping the vital areas of your upper body warm even in chilly temperatures.

Depending on the heat setting you choose, you can get up to 10 hours of warmth on a single charge of the battery, which is more than enough to last a day in the outdoors. (The fact that this vest comes with its own battery gives you major savings over other vests that don’t come with a power supply). To tell what heat setting you’re on, just look at the lighted button on the front of the vest, and you can tell from its color (from blue to red) what setting you’re on. The battery is compact and when it tucks away in a side pocket inside the vest, you won’t even know it’s there.

Users of the ORORO Men’s Heated Vest on Amazon praise its style and functionality. We love it because it does what it says it does and keeps you warm without needing to bulk up on layers of clothing. And at this price, you can’t wrong with it!
