Whether you’re commuting to work, walking the dog or watching a football match, a heated bodywarmer could be a lifesaver as the temperatures continue to drop this autumn
We’re a nation of extremes, weather-wise. Scorching hot summers and muggy, restless nights quickly give way to a piercing chill that penetrates right through to your bones.
For the latter, there’s a high-tech solution that’s guaranteed to keep even the most cold-sensitive individuals nice and cosy whilst out and about this winter.
Currently, you can purchase the Vapesoon Heated Vest for Both Women and Men for £39.99. This unisex vest comes in six sizes from small to double XL, and is the ideal garment if you’ve ever fancied wearing a radiator.

Featuring 15 heated pads, plus toasty fleece materials, a thermal lining and external waterproofing, this vest performs brilliantly in all weather conditions. It’s compatible with all 5V 2A 1000mAh or higher battery packs – whilst this isn’t included, Vapesoon points out that many households already own one and they’re eager to reduce waste.
Perfect as either an inner or outer layer, this vest can be paired with jumpers, jackets and more for additional warmth. Whether you’re standing on a Sunday League sideline or you’ve got energetic dogs requiring long, freezing walks, this vest could be an absolute game-changer for you.
Boasting an average 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 150 ratings, numerous Amazon customers adore their new vest. “Just what I wanted,” commented a five-star review. “It keeps me warm while I’m walking the dog or watching my granddaughter playing football matches and training.”
One thoughtful customer shared: “Bought this for a friend who does gardening as her job so she’s out all day every day. In recent weeks she was ending every day freezing cold,” and added, “Wearing this gilet has made such a difference to her. She can now garden without her coat on which gives her much more movement and she hasn’t yet had to use the heating element either so as it gets colder then she knows she will be warm and toasty whilst working throughout the winter!”.
Another chimed in: “I have put it through the washing machine, dried it on a radiator and there has been no loss of function.” This is particularly handy if you’re keen to keep your vest fresh for longer.
However, not everyone was completely satisfied, with some customers noting their expectations around thickness and the area covered by its heated pads. One reviewer commented: “Was expecting a fleecy waistcoat but it’s fairly thin,” but conceded, “But the heated pads makeup for it.”
Another added: “It’s heating up ok but there’s no heat at the bottom of the back were I want it most.”
But the bestseller boasts mostly praises as this buyer beams: “It was bought as a gift for a dog walker. Nice fit and he loves the style. Keeps him warm and cosy. The battery pack is discreet and lightweight!”
The heated vest is available on Amazon. If you’re looking for alternatives, Wowcher has a fantastic deal on this graphene-heated vest for £19.99.
For those willing to spend a bit more, Decathlon offers another great option with this heated jacket priced at £89.49.
