Stay toasty warm this winter with this completely functional heated vest, though *battery not included* — you can buy batteries direct from Ororo or Amazon for about $70 (or $40 if you use an off-brand battery) and they often have steep discounts especially around Black Friday! Heating zones on the upper back/neck and front pockets (see image of heating zones). I hand stitched a wear hole on the inner battery pocket (see picture). The hole was not big enough for the battery to slip through, but I didn’t want it to get any worse! I also reinforced a pinhole sized hole in the fabric near the lower zipper. This is not even noticeable, but photos of both repairs are included and do not affect the function. I love this vest, but recently upgraded to the full jacket, so I don’t need it anymore. It is wonderful for long hours outside in the cold! Though it is well loved, there are no stains, rips etc and when worn appears like new. Great deal on this functional piece! Offers welcome!
