Kam zügig und gut verpackt an ; die Jacke ist federleicht, angenehmen zu tragen und ihre Funktion ist TOP !! Für alle Tätigkeiten im Außenbereich sehr zu empfehlen, macht sehr schnell angenehm warm , wobei meist die kleine/mittlere Stufe ausreicht. Zudem ist sie so dünn, dass man ohne Probleme eine andere Jacke drüber ziehen kann. Absolut Kaufempfehlung!

Prior to ordering this Loowoko gilet, I tried a couple of cheaper heated gilets whilst I was attempting to get a decent fit size wise. I wasn't impressed with their heat output or the sizing so returned them.This Loowoko gilet however is far better in providing a decent amount of warmth, and the elements heat up very quickly. The chest area is particularly warm and I find I only need the highest setting for a short while before selecting a lower heat. (1 of 3 settings). Obviously depends on the temperature around you and also how many layers you're wearing.It looks good quality too, so hopefully it will be durable.The only negatives for me would be the inside pocket that houses the power pack isn't quite big enough to fit other types of power packs that may be longer should you already have them. The provided pack is small but chunky and therefore if looking for additional packs, be aware to find the same dimensions to fit properly in the designated pocket.I haven't had time to determine the running time of the provided power pack, but it should be good for 4 or 5 hours if not on maximum.Also, the lights on the pads that operate the jacket are quite bright, so draws attention when on, and especially if driving in the car at night, but no big deal really.The Medium size for 40" chest and slim build is a very good fit. You need the gilet to be on the snug side to get the best warmth from the heated elements really.It's a comfortable gilet with waist adjustment cords too if needed.It would be nice to have other colour options, as I've only seen this one in black.Overall a nice looking gilet that performs very well.15th Feb 25 update:Almost 2 months on since I purchased this heated gilet, and I can still say I am very impressed with the heat output this gilet provides.It really is a comfort to wear on a very cold day, and I often have to turn the heat down after wearing it for say 30 mins.I would recommend a second battery if you want to wear it all day let's say, but for me, I only wear this with it switched on if It's particularly cold, as its a perfectly good unheated body warmer anyway.A good tip would be to only wear light clothing underneath, as this is where you will feel the real benefit of the heat output.Interesting to see how durable the heated elements will last.
