00:00Okay, so if you've ever stood outside at a football game, or waited for a bus in January,
00:04and felt that cold seeped straight through three layers of clothing, you already know why I went
00:08down this rabbit hole. I spent the last couple of weeks digging through electric heated vests,
00:14the rechargeable ones you actually wear outdoors, and I found five that are genuinely worth your
00:18money right now. Let's get into it. First up is this women's heating vest,
00:24the cotton-lined autumn and winter one with USB infrared heating.
00:28What I really like here is that it doesn't look like tech gear. It looks like a normal quilted
00:33vest you'd throw on over a sweater, and the cotton fill means it's already warm before you even turn
00:38it on. It runs about $144, and almost 4,800 people have picked one up. If you want something that
00:46keeps you warm without screaming, I'm wearing a gadget, this is the easy pick. Number 2 is the
00:51men's USB infrared vest with 17 heating zones, and this one goes all the way up to a 5XL.
00:57That's the part one want to flag, because finding heated gear in bigger sizes that actually fits
01:03properly is genuinely difficult. 17 zones means you're getting heat across your chest, your back,
01:09your midsection, not just two sad little pads. It's around $131, which makes it the most affordable
01:15option on this whole list. Great shout for hiking, fishing, or long days on a job site.
01:22Third, we've got the 15 zone smart heated vest, and this is the one I'd hand to a friend who
01:27just
01:27wants something reliable. Two things sell it, it's fully washable, which honestly a lot of these aren't,
01:33and it has dual controls so you can run your upper body hotter than your lower body, or vice versa.
01:39Three heat levels, rechargeable, sitting at about $190. It's also got a 4.8 rating from over 4,000
01:46buyers, and that kind of score doesn't happen by accident. Number 4 is the flexible one,
01:52you can grab it in 9, 13, or 17 heating zones depending on how cold your winters actually get.
01:58That's smart, because if you're in a milder climate you're not paying for heat you'll never use.
02:04It's designed to work as an inner layer too, so you can wear it under a shell or a heavier
02:08coat and
02:08nobody knows it's there. Around $167, USB rechargeable, and a solid 4.6 rating. Really
02:17versatile piece. And rounding it out at number 5, the big one, a 28 zone intelligent heating vest
02:24with a stand-up collar and a loose, casual fit. 28 zones is the most coverage on this list by
02:29a mile,
02:30and that collar keeps the back of your neck warm, which makes a bigger difference than you'd think.
02:35It's about $220, and heads up, the power bank isn't included, so factor that in.
02:41But it's got the highest rating here at 4.9, and if you want the absolute warmest option,
02:46this is it. Alright, that's the 5. I've dropped links to every single one down in the description,
02:53so go check the current prices, they move around a lot this time of year.
