ORORO Upgraded Womens 4-Zone Heated Jacket with Heated Collar Heated Coat with Detachable Hood

I'm always cold and I absolutely hate being cold. I usually dread doing anything that takes me outside when the temps are below 65 and I avoid visiting my family in the midwest during the winter months, but this coat has me a little less sad that winter is coming. This review may be a bit premature ... I'll try to remember to come back and update in the spring ... but I wore my jacket tonight using the heating function for the first time and I'm loving this thing so much I decided to post a review now. First of all, it's a nice looking coat and appears to be well made. No loose strings, pretty sturdy seaming/construction, my zippers don't stick, although I noted another reviewer didn't love their zipper. Unlike other reviews, I didn't think it was particularly slim fitting. I'm 5'6 and between a size 4 and 6. A large fits easily over a sweatshirt without making you feel like a marshmallow. I would agree that the sleeves and torso length might be a tiny bit short, probably not visibly short, but I like longer sleeves so I can hide my hands inside the ends for warmth and these sleeves aren't long enough for that. The battery fits into the inside left front pocket and it's not terribly heavy. I didn't feel like it was bulky - it just felt like I had a cell phone in that pocket. As far as the heating function ... I charged the battery overnight about 2 weeks ago right after my coat arrived in the mail, but the weather hadn't really been cold enough to justify using it until tonight. The battery has been sitting unused and not connected to the charger for 2 weeks and it was still holding a full charge (another reviewer mentioned this, but the charger has a red/green LED to indicate when it's done charging - green is good to go). The battery has 5 small blue LED indicators to tell you the charge. I forgot to review the instructions before leaving the house and it took me 2 minutes to figure out that you have to turn the coat on by holding down the little button in the left collar/lapel area. And yes, it's a little odd to have an LED indicator on the collar shining the whole time the heating function is on (I was sitting in a freezing cold movie theater and felt a smidge conspicuous with the light glowing), but whatever. I flipped the collar down and that blocked most of the light. The LED indicator is red when it's in "preheat/warm up" mode or on high. As another reviewer detailed it will automatically cycle down to medium (white) after about 5 minutes in warm up mode. Medium is still noticeably warm. Low setting = blue. It was pretty subtle heat on the low setting, but the coat holds warmth pretty well, so I think it's probably a good setting since this coat is thin enough that you could layer over it for a long day outside in the cold. Super easy to change from one heat setting to another. You hit the button once to go to the next setting down and hold the button down for a few seconds to turn the heating function off/on. I didn't wear it long enough to test the battery life in any setting, but I switched it back and forth from high to medium to low to off at various points in time over about 3.5 hours and the battery indicator lights still had 4 out of 5 blue LEDs lit after that. Not sure if I'd count on that being accurate, but if it is, that's pretty solid for a heated coat that cost less than $150. Yes, it would be nice if all heated gear would run heating elements through every single part of the coat, but I haven't found any coat (affordable or otherwise) that has elements running front and back full length and front and back down the sleeves, too. I think this coat is a great deal for what it does. Besides, even with heated sleeves you're going to need heated gloves if you want your fingers to be warm ... I already purchased a pair of Flambeau heated gloves from Amazon so I'll be ready to face the cold! Read more

PROS: I love this jacket! It fits very well and amazes me how quickly it heats up. I tend to be cold when others aren’t, so not only do I use it outside, but it’s become my secret weapon in cold conference rooms, at the movie theater, the grocery store, and other places where it’s too cold for me. Putting it on low in those situations has kept me toasty! Love the hood too and that the coat is water & wind resistant. It is light and works well in cool temps without always needing to turn on the heater. It is fitted, looks good, and is thin enough to layer a longer coat over when needed. High winds tend to wick heat off the jacket, so when it’s super windy, I put a down coat over it to trap in the heat and that really helps. Since it’s a jacket and not a full coat, I also wear a long down coat over it for more coverage when it’s particularly bitter cold out. This coat is really helping me get through winter! CONS: The one big thing I don’t like about the coat is the battery is in the inside bottom of the jacket, and once I turn the jacket off, I cannot use the button on the outside of the jacket to turn it on again. Instead I have to unzip all the way and reach in to disconnect and reconnect the battery (sometimes several times) before the jacket will turn on again. Out in wind and snow I’ve had to unzip my jacket to do this. UPDATED REVIEW: The company reached out to me about the battery issue. They’ve redesigned the batteries so the on/off button on the outside of the jacket will turn it on again, and they sent me a replacement battery. The new battery works perfectly! So my one criticism has been addressed, and not only that, the customer service was amazing. If I could rate it six stars, I would! Both for the product, and the customer service. This coat works so well, fits great, and looks good! I love this coat and highly recommend it!!!!! Read more

Great jacket! My fiance loves it. Feels like the collar is heated too. She's 5' 3" and around 150 pounds and the medium fit perfectly. Read more

The jacket alone without using the heat feature is pretty warm. But the heat feature is great. The battery pack is a little heavy but with any battery pack of that size it's going to b a little heavy. They have a updated lighter battery pack witch I think I'm going to purchase. But I was presently surprised at how long this battery lasted! I had it on high for 4hrs, followed by medium for 5hrs. Then I seen the battery was at the 25% power or less so I had it on low for an hour give or take, then it finally died. So that really impressed me! The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's supposed to be waterproof. However when I ran my sleeve under water briefly, some water beaded off, but where the jacket stitches together the water just soaked in. About a half inch on both sides of the stitch and ontop of the stitch it soaked in. Then I grabbed a spray bottle and sprayed water onto the chest area. Again it just soaked in, it didn't bead off like the top of the arm sleeve did. But I still like the jacket so I just grabbed water proofing spray that I've used on my work gear and sprayed it. Maybe I recieved one that didn't get as much water proofing stuff as it should have? But I like the jacket so I just sprayed it down myself. Oh and u would want to get a size that fits u close to being snug. Normally I get jackets that I can layer up underneath(shirt and hoodie and still have a little wiggle room) but u don't want this jacket to b lose. U want the heat pads to b closer to ur body. I Normally wear a lg to xl. The lg in this jacket fits with room to wear layers. Which kinda of makes me think it's cut a little big. Just a little though. I would probably fit better in a meduim. But I still kept the lg. Read more
