In the wintertime, do you love to wrap yourself up in a heated blanket and wish you could actually walk out of the house that way? Well, you sort of can. There’s a popular heated vest that provides such toasty warmth on a cold winter’s outing that customers are swooning — and the most vocal fan of the Ororo Heated Vest is singing/acting legend Reba McEntire. Right now, you can grab it in Silver Grey for just $140 when you apply the on-page coupon, down from $170.

Sure, it’s insulated with an eco-friendly filling, but the real stars of the show are the carbon fiber heating elements sandwiched inside of its wind- and water-resistant shell. These create four heating zones — in the left and right front areas, the upper back and the collar — that evenly spread warmth throughout the vest.
The Ororo Heated Vest, which McEntire told New York magazine is a “life-saving” winter essential and “the greatest invention known to man” — quite an endorsement! The Silver Grey has an on-page coupon, which makes it the least expensive version, but the five other colors are also on sale.
The Ororo Heated Vest has battery-operated heating elements, so you do have to remember to charge the vest via its USB port. That said, it’ll stay warm for up to 10 hours on a single charge! “The charge lasts a long time, but I always tell people to buy the extra battery pack as a backup,” McEntire said. “There’s nothing worse than being somewhere cold and your battery dies.”
Worried about overheating? Don’t be. You can customize your warmth level by choosing between three heat settings. And don’t sweat washing the Ororo vest, either: it’s safe to throw it right in the machine, but you can also hand wash it if you choose. Either way, you can expect years of toasty-warm performance: Its battery can be charged up to 800 times before you’ll need to replace it!
But don’t just take McEntire’s word for it. Take it from the nearly 8,000 Amazon customers who swear by this piece.
“Best invention ever!” gushed one rave reviewer. “I always freeze when I go outside. I live in Minnesota but now that I’m getting older I’m freezing more. It’s my neck that gets so tense when I’m freezing and the heating mechanism is right there in the neck.”
“I’ve been researching heated vests for a year and finally went with this one based on reviews,” shared another happy shopper. “I love it! I have Raynaud’s and the warmth of the vest helps my circulation. Battery power lasts for hours and [the] vest is very comfortable.”
Even medical professionals love it. “Best decision I’ve ever made,” shared one healthcare worker. “I work in interventional radiology and can’t wear a jacket or long sleeves in the cold rooms because I have to gown up and stay sterile. It’s been a game-changer in cases. I got the navy blue and it looks great with the hospital scrubs.”
Some shoppers say it could use some slight adjustments.
Another shopper wrote: “The only thing I’d change about the vest, is how the power button/ heat setting button lights up. I wish there was an option to turn it off, but I can live with it, not a dealbreaker to me.”
“I bought this one for my mom and she loves it!” exclaimed a final fan. “Most of our family has these and we love them. My only complaint is that the battery takes forever to charge.”

Feel free to wear it underneath a jacket for extra warmth, but it’s powerful enough to be worn on its own, too.
And to prevent frigid fingers, these highly rated hand warmers are also on sale!
INNOPAW
These rechargeable, double-sided hand warmers keep your mitts toasty for up to 15 hours, depending on the heat setting (low, medium or high).
“These saved my Raynaud’s syndrome hands last winter,” wrote a five-star fan. “I literally used them every night when I got in bed. I would hold one and fall asleep. Don’t know what I’d do without them. At times I’d use the high setting and run it up and down my neck for pain relief.”
