Best Men's Heated Vests

ARRIS Fleece Heated Vest

The ARRIS heated men's vest takes heating power to the next level with 8 heating panels. It has 4 panels in front, 3 on the back, and a neck warmer in the collar. It also has 5 heating levels that can range from 104℉ to 176℉. One of the unique things about this vest is that you can turn off specific panels in the vest to conserve the battery or just lower the heat. It is also available in a women's version.

The ARRIS uses a 7.4V 7200mah high-capacity battery to heat the carbon fiber heating element, the battery can last for up to 10 hours on the lowest setting.

The ARRIS also uses a pretty unique sizing scheme, it is basically one size fits all. The vest comes with three different side panels that you zip in to make get the correct size. While it sounds weird, people seem to love it and find it easy to find the correct fit.

​The ARRIS gets excellent reviews all the way around. The big complaints have to do with the battery. The biggest disappointment with the battery is the charging time, it can take up to 8 hours to fully charge. Secondly, the battery does not have a USB connection which means you cannot switch the battery out with a third-party battery. Finally, a few reviews said their battery was defective upon arrival and had to be replaced.

​Overall, the ARRIS is a great choice, particularly if you are worried about the fit of a vest and like to have control over the individual heating elements in the vest.
