Review of the Ororo Heated Vest

​Ororo Heated Vest Review

            After a seminar speaker at West Michigan Walleye Club mentioned a heated vest, I was intrigued. With that I visited five various hiking, back packing and outdoor sites for product testing and reviews.

            I wrote down the pro and cons of each vest tested and did the same with the reviews. From that list three vests emerged as strong possibilities. After checking out the warranty and the reviews on manufactures web site I settled on the Camo vest from Ororo.

            Christmas was drawing near so I mentioned it to my wife. And yes, on Christmas morning a vest was under the tree. I tested the vest out fishing on Stearns Bayou after Christmas, fishing from shore along the Kalamazoo River and on long hikes. One hike was in the open with a pretty good breeze blowing.

            The vest has multiple heat settings and will default to the lower setting once all warmed up. Trust me, it will keep your chest and your kidneys nice and toasty.

            All I wore was a regular shirt, the vest and a light jacket. It was not bulky and none of that smushed up and tight clothing fit that is common when wearing multiple layers. When wearing a neck gaiter, it was darn warm on the low setting.
​
            The vest was not the highest priced vest but more expensive than about 70% that were tested. I am happy with it and that is all I can say.
