Plus points
- Build quality is exceptional. From zippers to stitching to design, everything appears to be top notch
- Each garment comes with its very own carry case which is great for travel
- The hood on the classic jacket is detachable by zipper
- There are three heating modes which can be toggled with a button on the front of the jacket – high, medium or low
- Heating zones differ from model to model. The jacket heats up around the chest and back area, the vest heats up around the neck and pocket area
- The included battery pack can be neatly stowed inside a pocket and doubles as a power bank so you can charge your phone or anything else
- Even when turned off, the jacket still provides excellent warmth from the wind and rain
- They are both machine washable on a cold cycle
- Battery life can last up to 10 hours on the low setting
- Glowing power button on the front of each jacket draws attention and peaks everyone’s interest
Nil points
- Jacket is a bit bulky compared to other lightweight down jackets
- It can be heavier than a regular jacket or vest due to the battery pack and wires contained inside
- The battery pack connects using a proprietary cable, meaning that you can only use an Ororo branded battery
- Some may find it pricey (but it’s around the same price as other good quality winter jackets)
Bottom line

If you’re like us and get cold easily during the winter months, this is the most unique and effective way of heating yourself.
