As winter tightens its grip, staying warm without resorting to bulky layers is a common challenge for dog walkers, outdoor workers, and anyone sensitive to the cold. A popular solution has emerged on Amazon, where the Loowoko Heated Gilet is now available for a significantly reduced price of £39.99, down from its usual £69.99.
Instant Warmth and Extended Battery Life
Shoppers praise the gilet for its rapid heating capability, with many reporting they can feel the warmth within just three seconds of switching it on. After a full charge using its included power bank, the lightweight bodywarmer provides continuous heat for up to seven hours, making it ideal for long periods outdoors.
The garment features three adjustable heat settings and four targeted heating zones that focus warmth on key areas: the neck, back, and abdomen. Designed for practicality, it is windproof, waterproof, and padded for insulation. It also includes elasticated side panels for a snug fit, side pockets, and a full-length zip.
Overwhelmingly Positive Customer Reviews
The black heated gilet has earned an impressive overall rating of 4.4 stars from more than 300 Amazon customers. Over 200 of those reviews are full five-star ratings.
One satisfied buyer commented on the perfect fit and ease of use, stating it would help them through the coming winter. Another, who purchased it for an older relative, noted they were "delighted with being warm when out and about" and praised its stylish, age-neutral look.
A particularly compelling review came from a food van worker: "I never believed anything like this would work. I was wearing seven layers... now I’m wearing two thin layers and my arms are not cold. This heats your back and belly up. Highly recommend."
Alternative Non-Heated Options
For those seeking a traditional bodywarmer, there are also significant discounts available. The Florence Womens Long Padded Gilet at Mountain Warehouse has 70% off, now priced at just £26.99 in rust, while Tog24's Calvo Padded Gilet is down to £25 from £90, a saving of 72%.
The Manchester Evening News did note that a small number of users felt the heat distribution could be uneven. However, this was countered by other wearers who loved the product, with one dog walker saying it kept their "neck and back nice and warm" and that a snug fit actually helped retain heat.
