Ororo Heated Apparel; Review & Giveaway!

 

The last few weeks have been pretty cold in some states, so why not add a piece of winter clothing to your wardrobe that has a built-in heat source for added warmth? Ororo sells a wide range of heated apparel including jackets, gloves & more. I was recently gifted one of their Unisex heated fleece hoodies in the color black & it has been wonderful to use on the days when it is extra chilly out. They sell this hoodie in a size XS all the way up to a 3XL, all the sizes cost the same. You can purchase this hoodie for $179.99 however at the time of writing this (1/20/24) it is on sale for $143.99 so if you are interested in getting one, now is the perfect time to buy. 

How does the hoodie work? It has three built in carbon fiber heating elements that provide the extra warmth once plugged into the charging battery. It has three different heat settings so you can set it to your own personal preference. There is one large piece in the back along with one smaller section on either side of the chest which heat up. Depending on what setting you have the heat on the battery can last up to ten hours. The website also states you can use the USB port on the hoodie battery to charge your mobile devices if you need. I have no used that feature yet, but it is very handy to know I have that option for when I need it. 

Even without the heated elements turned on the hoodie itself is well made & warm all on its own. I like how thick the hoodie is & that the fleece lining is soft to the touch. I like that the jacket not only has two pockets on the outside, but the inside has two pockets as well - one is for the battery and has the connection cable and the other is just a normal pocket. I think the only thing I would possibly change about the jacket is the sleeves near the wrist, it could just be myself having the issue, but I find it a little difficult to pull the sleeves up & get them to stay so I can wash my hands properly without getting the hoodie wet. Otherwise, I love wearing this hoodie, it is very comfortable and warm, the heating elements make wearing the jacket extra toasty. Depending on your charger (it comes with a charging cord, but no plug that goes into the wall) charging time may vary, I like to charge mine over night as it seems to take a few hours for the battery to fully charge. 

Since it is unisex my husband and I have been taking turns using it. In December we attended an outdoor event late at night & it was decently chilly, this hoodie helped keep my husband warm the whole time. Sometimes my work office can get extra cold during the mornings, so I like using the heating element of this hoodie during that time to stay warm. The hoodie heats up quickly, it only takes one maybe two minutes before you can start to feel the heat on your back. Along with this hoodie they also have thicker winter jackets, pull overs, gloves and more that you should check out if you are looking for a way to stay warmer.
