Heated vest experience?

A vote for the Milwaukee vest here.

Ororo Puffy for me. Works great. IMO heated clothing pieces are a game changer for me hunting in Minnesota.

I have had the Pnuma for about 6 years now. When it's cold I put on top of my base layer and when it's really cold I put directly on skin. The vest does make a huge difference.

I’ve had a TideWe heated vest for a couple months now. I’ve used it whitetail hunting from stands and duck hunting. I absolutely love it. The battery it came with doesn’t last real long, but on high it’ll get you through a hunt. So maybe 4 hours, maybe a little more. It’s convenient bow hunting. Less bulk and easier to draw. Same deal putting a shotgun to your shoulder. I’ll continue using mine

I got a black fleece one off Amazon for working on the railroad. It's a game changer. Especially if I gotta be out side standing still.

I love my Pnuma Iconx vest. Love it so much I bought a spare just in case. Highly recommend.

I did the same. However, I’m thinning some things out and currently have it posted for sale if anyone’s looking.

I use the Milwaukee vest as a layer. It does work, no question.

The heat is not in an ideal place, but it is what I have. I'd look for one that put heat on the lower back (mine doesn't). I use the vest over the base layers walking in for the pockets it has and I like it for that. I'd seriously consider one of the heated baselayers if I was starting over.

@Tod osier is there a specific brand of heated baselayers you'd go with over another? I'm somewhat familiar with some of the brands, as I have the Lenz heated socks (5.1) and the Therm-IC heated insoles, both of which saved my keester yesterday. Appreciate any thoughts on heated baselayers - been considering heated vest but also looked into those too.

Another big Pnuma heated vest fan here. I wear it directly next to the skin or over an All Clima wool fishnet baselayer top.

I have the ororo puffy vest, works great. If I was to do it again, and I might get another one, I would get their fleece one less bulk (it's already heated no bulk needed). Wool layers under and coat/jacket over the top.
