As temperatures continue to drop, staying warm while running errands or walking the dog can be a challenge. Enter this heated gilet from Amazon, a game-changer in winter designed to keep you cosy and snug.
The vest (£99.99) is designed to keep you cosy in all the right places, with strategically placed heating zones across the mid-back, left chest, and right chest. Three adjustable heat settings—high, medium, and low—allow you to tailor the warmth to suit your needs.
It also has up to 10 hours of heat on a single charge, meaning you can confidently tackle a full day outdoors. Plus, its waterproof material will keep you dry in unexpected rain and snow.

The gilet has impressed the majority of Amazon shoppers, racking up 964 five-star ratings. One person said it “really keeps you warm”, while another called it “one of the best things I own (…) it is so lovely to be warm for a change.”
In a more in-depth review, a third person said: “I bought (the vest) for cold and arthritis to keep me warm, especially on cold days. (I) wore a fleece on top, a long sleeve, and a thin jumper underneath the next day. I am a size 12-14 (and) I purchased medium (…) very slim fitting especially when putting the battery in its pocket.”
Another longer review said: “This heated jacket is really good quality, and so is the battery, which lasts a good amount of time. It also looks good, and I wear it in the house and under my coats with no problem. I have dogs to walk in the morning, so it’s ideal during the cold winter mornings when I dog walk, and I’m now all snug.”
However, it isn’t all good news. One user said, “It took a while to work out how it all functions,” while another said they found it hard to locate the on/off button.
Still, whether you’re walking your pooch on a frosty morning or just looking to stay cosy while staying active, this heated gilet is an investment that pays off every time you step outside. You can shop it via Amazon here.
If you’re looking for other clever ways to stay cosy, heated electric blankets are a popular and cost-effective option. Lakeland has currently dropped its bestselling velvet throw to £39.99 from £69.99 in a Black Friday deal.
Portable heaters are also great this time of year, and some are reasonably priced. One such model is this £29.99 Russell Hobbs model, available at Dunelm, which costs approximately 33p per hour to run.
