What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes this as a men's gilet in the title but calls it unisex in the details and product description. The main description says the power bank is not included, while another passage says a battery pack is included. The listed heating durations also differ: 150 minutes in auto mode and over seven hours on low using a 10000mAh pack. Confirm the selected version, included items and mode-specific runtime before buying. Use a portable pack with 2A or 2.4A USB output. The care instructions say to remove the pack, fit the protective cap, zip the pocket and use a laundry bag before machine washing.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People wanting a removable-hood heated layer for cold-weather outdoor activities.
- Buyers who already have a compatible USB power bank or are prepared to purchase one separately.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a confirmed battery pack included in the package.
- Anyone wanting a clear, single runtime claim without checking the operating mode and power-bank conditions.

Customer feedback highlights warmth, while fit, comfort, quality and value receive mixed comments. Some customers say the gilet does not stay on while moving, and feedback raises concerns about durability, with reports of the heating feature stopping after four weeks, as well as mixed comments about zip quality. Battery-life criticism matters in context because the listing says the power bank is not included, though its package information is inconsistent. The ratings include many five-star responses but also a notable one-star share, so they do not erase these reported concerns.

The description says the power bank is not included, although another passage says a battery pack is included. Check the selected listing and package details before ordering.
What power bank does it require?

How long does the heating last?
