ORORO Heated Hoodie with Battery, Fleece Full-Zip Heated Sweatshirt Hoodie (Charger Not Included)

I bought this hoodie for sort of an out of the box reason - as a woman who is approaching a certain age, I wanted what I viewed as basically a wearable heating pad for the aches and discomfort that are getting progressively worse during hormone fluctuations. I hesitated on spending this much money on something that I thought was going to be for once in awhile use, but I am SO GLAD I bit the bullet and bought this thing. I'm also a hockey mom, and today in an ice cold rink, my toes were the only things that felt truly cold. I also own a Jeep Wrangler and this hoodie has just extended top down riding season into November. I read a million reviews before I chose this hoodie to purchase and one of them in particular that outlined the truly top notch quality of this hoodie was a large part of my decision making process, so I wanted to share my own extensive feedback.I'll start with quality, because that is what has truly knocked my socks off about this hoodie. It is a very heavyweight, nice feeling outer material, and lined with fleece throughout the whole sweatshirt. Fleece is in the sleeves. Fleece is in the hood. Fleece is in the pockets. The combination makes for a very solid fitting, super cozy sweatshirt. But despite fleece everywhere and a heavy duty outer material, the hoodie is surprisingly not too much to wear indoors. The construction is also top notch. The wrists are quite fitted and the hood is very generous - you are not going to be pulling at it or constantly repositioning it. This sweatshirt is an amazing pick even if you don't consider the heating elements.But it does have heating elements, and they are amazing too. I felt the back panel just one minute after turning it on. It heats up very quickly and while it kept me warm enough to exist comfortably in a rink so cold I could see my breath, it never became uncomfortably hot, even on the ride home. The positioning of the heating elements in this hoodie are exactly what I wanted for the chest and back comfort I was looking for when I first bought it. The battery pack sits in an inside zippered compartment behind the left hand pocket, and it is a tad bulky at first but I got used to it pretty quickly. If this hoodie was very fitted on my midsection though, I'd think the outline of the batter pack would have been visible. That might be a consideration for you depending on your body composition or how fitted you want this sweatshirt to be.As for sizing, I am 5'1", 135lbs and 36D. I typically wear a size S in most tops and size M in most sweatshirts or outer layers, but I went with the size S in this hoodie based on feedback in the reviews, and that ended up being the right size for me. I have room to wear a fleece Cuddl Duds layer under this if I'm prepping for really cold conditions, but it's fitted enough that I can fit it under my heavy duty winter parka. Size S fits on me in such a way that it's loose enough to give that comfortable sweatshirt feel but fitted enough that the heating elements feel good and I remain aware of them while I'm wearing the sweatshirt.Lots of people mention the light up emblem on the left breast as a negative, but I think it's kind of cool. It is really small and not visibly lit up at all in bright light (sunlight or fluorescents). It's also a super convenient place for the power button.Long story short, buy this hoodie. It is super, super high quality and not only will it slay at whatever use you already have in mind for it, you will also find other uses for it once you wear it and fall in love with it.

I just received the heated hoodie today so I haven't tried out the heat yet. But, right out the box, I'm happy so far and felt the need to share.1- I reviewed this thing so deep you'd think it was a murder case. I noticed a lot of reviews talking about it being too small. I wear large tall. I'm 6'3" 225lbs. I ordered an XL because usually large regulars are too short in the sleeves. XL fits just as a sweatshirt should. Not to tight but not baggy. So if your into your jackets or sweatshirts being a little oversized then you should order a size up. Maybe 2.2- It's got some weight to it. And not because of the heating elements. It's just a thick sweatshirt. Have you ever bought a GOOD hoodie? Not the thin cheap ones you get for $20 at the department store. But the ones that are thick. Comfy and warm ones. That's what this one feels like. I may not even need the heating element unless it's like 45 F or below.3- So let's talk about the light. It's annoying. It's bright. It screams "Look at me! I've got a heated jacket. Ask me about it!". Obviously, I'm not a fan. But it is what it is. It definitely isn't a deal breaker for me but worse case scenario, I wear this under another jacket which I plan to do. (I bought this for work. I work in refineries).4- Delivery! I feel this is odd to comment on because I think a bad/good delivery is completely random. BUT! I'm going to say my peace anyways.I live in southern Illinois. I ordered through Amazon prime. I placed the order Wednesday late afternoon and it arrived on my doorstop in 2 days on Friday at 1pm. So my particular delivery situation was awesome. BUT! You may not get the same situation. Never know.4- The battery size is a 2" square at about 3/4" thick. Weighs about as much a roll of quarters and has its own little zip up pocket. Pocket is on the inside/lower front. I don't even notice it.5- So I went with the zip up sweatshirt because I figured if it was brutally cold I can just wear it under my coat. And when it's just mildly cold I can still be comfortable.This sweatshirt has 2 front pockets for your hands. No inside pockets except for the small one for the battery. The hood is oversized so when you put it on it's not just covering half my head. The hood itself is also thick just like the jacket itself. The zipper is standard. Not heavy duty. It also has draw strings in the hood. As far as the heating elements and the wiring? You don't even know they are there.This item came with a travel bag to out it in. It came with battery and 1 charger which are both unique and can only be purchased through the brands company.Right now I am happy with it and would totally recommend to a friend. (Because you know they will be asking me about it. I'll be the only one with a bright light on my chest). I haven't tried the heating part yet but I will be updating this review soon. I plan to use this all next week.

Sweater is comfortable, cozy and WARM! A couple of loose threads on it... but meh, scissors exist for that.A small size is a rather large very loose fit on a small-framed slim female - but that works fine in this case as it can be worn over layers (yay, more warmth!) BUT with that said - it's not exactly a super nice looking fit though if that's what your goal is, given it's quite large & loose here... but, look, if you're cold and you want a warm back to then get warmed up, it's worth it. (I wouldn't want a super fitted heated sweater anyways, but this definitely doesn't look/fit as nicely as other zip up hoodies do... but it sure looks and is comfy and warm!)I waited for it to drop in price a fair bit though as the original price was too pricey for me.I don't know about how it goes for washing it though, haven't gotten to that stage yet.Heated back is what you feel and it's nice. It warms you up.

Got this hoodie cause I drive a truck and when I have to do deliveries it's cold out and the walk can be brutal but this hoodie and a long sleeve eliminated the heavy jacket need i did get it a little big tho would of went with a large instead

Thick and warm without the heat on. Very well made. I use it in -40 weather with another sweater overtop and I'm warm. I love this sweater and have bought myself multiples and about 20 more for friends and family so far. Try it..it will change your life.

Bought for my husband who is always cold. He loves it! Best hoodie for camping and cool evenins!

I love my Ororo hoodie, I've had it since 02/2020 and I ordered 4 more for family members. Im in Canada and I've basically worn it daily for a year. I wash it inside a pillowcase on gentle and hang to dry. The battery pack is still going strong too, I charge it up at night with my cell phone and in the morning Im set to go. The hoodie is lined with fleece throughout but it does not replace a winter coat, but if paired with one you will be SO warm and cozy!! My family and I swear by them.
