Deerhunter Lady Heat Inner Waistcoat

Surprisingly warm for being so thin

Perfect for my wife, heating elements in the right places & definitely warm

Size 12

Thank you for allowing me to assess your products. On a positive note a nice waistcoat, the heat facility is effective, never have to use the red setting! But occasionally the on/off button can be rubbed against slightly and this changes the settings! But I have an issue with the size although I ordered my normal size 12... Although initially comfortable when zipped up and the stretched sides provide shape - when sitting down the battery digs into my side. (As the waistcoat is lightweight I wanted to wear this under an outside coat or jacket.) So I have to wear the the garment unzipped most of the time as cannot bend easily - putting on boots, or getting into the car and driving etc with it zipped up! There simply isn't enough room for the battery :-( So ordered the size 14 and again this is a snug fit on the hips. More comfortable in that area but too big up top (we're not all built like Dolly Parton!!) . There is considerable material baggyness under the arms ..This size only fits better when worn over several layers. As I needed the battery to last for some time this was Not what I wanted it for. I like the lightweight so will just make do with the size 12.... would be nice to have a front heated panel too... I would have ordered your thicker padded waistcoat which had this facility but did not like the Wood colour. Be nice to to have one in navy or maroon etc. I wish you had an outlet store where one could try on for size and comfort....maybe to consider please?

Toasty!

Purchased this item back in Autumn and thought it would be useful for when winter really settles in... And I was right! The powerbank was easy to charge as it comes with its own little usb connection and took approx 2.5 hrs from near flat. (I used a phone plug to charge). Once charged, the powerbank (which is quite small and light!) is placed back into an internal pocket and connected to a thin cable which runs internally through the waistcoat. One click of the button on the outside of the coat and it started to warm up. I wore this waistcoat over a base layer and t-shirt with a jacket over the top in -2°C.. and I was so warm and toasty. On this occasion I kept the heat on for a full 4 hours before I turned it off and the powerbank still had charge left. If I was going to have one wish with this waistcoat, I would ask for a few outside pockets, but obviously these would only be of use if it was worn as a top layer. On the whole I'm very happy with this waistcoat and can see it being a staple in my winter kit bag.
