What to look for when buying a heated jacket
1. What will you wear it for?
A heated jacket for the school run, the commute or the terraces needs different things from one for a building site. A parka keeps wind and rain off down past your hips. A work jacket must be tough and last a whole shift. If you love your current coat, a separate heater is a clever middle ground.
2. Where are the heat zones?
You feel heat on your back and neck straight away; chest heat helps most when cycling into a headwind. Separate front and back control saves battery.
3. Is the battery included?
Tool brands such as Milwaukee often sell jackets without a battery, which pushes the real cost up. More on how long heated clothing batteries last.
4. Outer fabric and fit
Heat only stays in if the jacket blocks the wind and fits well. For the Pølar parka: choose one size larger than usual.
5. Washability and safety
Check whether it can be washed with the battery removed, and look for overheating protection and CE marking.
6. Warranty and service
Gløde offers a 2-year warranty and European service; see repairs and warranty.
The heated jackets reviewed
Pølar heated women's parka (Gløde)
The Pølar parka is a long black women's parka and the model Gløde calls the warmest heated jacket in its collection. It sits at the top because a parka covers more of you than a short jacket, which you notice at a windswept bus stop or on the sidelines. Full technical details are on the product page. Key sizing tip: go one size up so a jumper fits underneath.
Heated canvas work jacket black/grey (at Gløde)
This heated canvas work jacket is made from heavy canvas (85% polyester, 15% cotton) with a brushed check lining and hollow-fibre fill. Five zones warm the left and right chest, neck, upper and lower back. Front and back are controlled separately across three settings (about 40, 50 and 60 °C), and you feel the heat after around 30 seconds. On the 6000 mAh battery you get roughly 12 to 13 hours on the lowest setting. The button is hidden inside. Working by the roadside? Look at the heated work jacket with reflective stripes in our heated work jackets collection.
Øney universal jacket heater V2.0 (Gløde)
The Øney jacket heater turns almost any coat into a heated one. Clip it in, connect the power bank and pick one of three settings up to 50 °C. Within 60 seconds you feel warmth on your chest, stomach and back, with front and back heated separately. Fitting takes a minute, no sewing. It is not a full heated jacket, but it is by far the most affordable route if you want to keep your own winter coat. See also universal solutions.
Bertschat Beheizte Jacke Damen Dual Heating
Pros: ten carbon zones (four front, six back), up to 68 °C and up to 16 hours with four power banks. Cons: you need several power banks for the longest run time, there are no washing instructions and the warranty length is not on the product page.
Ororo Dual-Control jacket
Pros: 3 years' warranty on the heating elements and five zones including the chest. Cons: no maximum temperature stated and a 1-year warranty on the battery.
Milwaukee M12 HJ5
Pros: handy if you already own M12 tool batteries; washable at 40 °C. Cons: price excludes VAT and battery, and the label gives a different run time from the product page.
