How does the Venustas Heated Jacket work? It uses strategically placed battery-powered heating elements to warm key core areas — shoulders, back and chest. Once these essential spots are warmed, the whole body feels toasty. You can adjust heat intensity (controls have low, medium and high settings). And your battery can last up to nine hours on a single charge.

One happy midwestern reviewer, who leads with the headline "Love my jacket," has this to say: "Since I am older, I have tendency to always be cold during MN winter months. This jacket is a definite must for me. Don't mind going out early in the morning to get my car started or during the day when the winds are adding to our wind chill.... Also, another plus is that the jacket can be washed, which I really like. Great feature!" Simply disconnect and remove the battery from the zipper pocket, put the plug back, and zip up before tossing the jacket in the wash.

Says another fan of the Venustas Jacket: "...I'm the fourth one in the family to have one.... I can control the temperature according to the weather conditions and where I'm going. For example, I can keep the heat off when I'm in the car and turn it on to my desired temperature when going outside. It's made very well, has deep pockets, a detachable hood and other nice amenities. I receive compliments when I wear it. Thanks for making such an innovative product." Size up when ordering — a few reviewers note that this amazing jacket runs small.

Believe it or not, you can also use the power of your Venustas Heated Jacket (which has a USB port) to charge your phone. So go ahead and enjoy that long, snowy hike. Save $50 right now, and enjoy the rest of winter — and many winters to come — like never before.

This reviewer sums it up nicely: "Fantastic quality and durability.... Would recommend this product to anyone!"
