This heated bodywarmer is so much better than my old one - it is extremely comfortable, warm and very well made.
As I am approx. 5'10" I went for the XL size to wear over a thin jumper / fleece and it is a perfect fit for me - a Large definitely would have been too small.
The quality of construction is excellent throughout and no stitching was misaligned or loose anywhere on the garment I received. It also has a self-sealing type of zip which is a welcome feature as those normally would be found on quite expensive waterproof jackets and trousers.

My preferred method of wearing / layering is to go for a thin base layer under a thin woolen jumper (or fleece) followed by the heated bodywarmer followed by a top shell of a Fjallraven Anorak No.8 (smock) and that combo works extremely well in cold weather regardless of the level of activity or lack thereof.

Even without the heat pads being active it offers decent insulation over a jumper on cold days but when it is worn under an outdoor coat and the heat pad are active the heat is very satisfying.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a hobby which involves sitting or standing outdoors in cold weather (e.g. fishing, photography, shooting, sport spectating) but I would advise not to go for cheap battery power banks to power it.

I tried 2 old battery power banks which did not work so I initially thought that the heat panels in the bodywarmer were faulty as I could have either the front panels OR the back panel heating - it would not do both at the same time.
It turned out that the cheap slimline power banks which were supposed to be 20,000 mAh were not very good because when I switched to the newer 10,000 mAh power bank the heat panels worked perfectly.
On full heat front and back I get a solid 3.5 - 4hrs from the 10,000 power bank and it fits well into the interior pocket on the bodywarmer. The one I used is from INIU and is called POWER BANK BI-B41 - it is available on Amazon (see link above).
