- Are heated jackets worth all the buzz and hype? I did a field test to find out.
Dewbu Heated Jacket - www.amazon.com...
**Correction**
I stated that they battery bank was a 7.4V battery but it is actually a 12V battery.
DOACE Heated Vest (With powerbank) - www.doacewear....
Note - price for this jacket is $115 with the power bank and $79 without. Check for sales because you can find this even cheaper from time to time.

Amazing video outdoor hiking..
Thank you. Hope this video provide some good info on these products for you.
Heck yeah chicky I'm def looking into the vest for multiple reasons
YES! Such great finds to make yourself more comfortable out there when the temps drop. Thanks for stopping by and checking out this video Ron. ~RVA~
They both look like great options for folks who can't get warm in the winter. Thanks for showcasing them!
Sure thing! So very happy to help others get outdoors and to enjoy it more. ~RVA~
Thanks for that.Its maybe a good idéer. I never try one but I think its a great Thing to have here mid winter.Have a wonderful x mas.
Yes this may be great for over in Denmark. I love them more and more each time I use them. Happy holidays!
I had a few brands in my wishlist for a while. Great to extend camping through the winter!❤
Absolutely you are so right about that. Stay warm out there! ~RVA~
Absolutely stunning presentation my friend. Fantastically presented 🔥🔥
Appreciate it! Happy Holidays! 🥂
Good share my friend ☝️✅💯✌🏼
Thank you! Appreciate it. 👍🏼
Hello my friend. Thanks for this wonderful review of these jackets. Well explained and very informative. I never owned a heated jacked. I have to look into this. Most on the time I dress in layers. My wife was watching the video with me and likes all of them. Have a great week RVA Hiker Girl.
For sure I still dress in layers with them both as well. That’s the best way to stay warm. Appreciate you both giving this one a watch. ~RVA~
Thank you for showing us these items, you always do such a great job explaining it all. Love that pink jacket, it looks great on you too and it sounds really good. The vest looks good too. I think it is worth the money if you wear it all the time, like you said you have with the vest. I would say yes, it's worth it. I am so cold natured. Oh, by the way, love that cap too my sweet friend. I don't own one of these but would definitely consider!
Bear #399 and her 3 babies from Grand Teton is what's on my hat. That mama is the most photographed bear in the US. She's had like 23 or so cubs over the years. The hat is by the artist Abby Paffrath. It's a brand-new design for her. It has moved to the top of my list of one of my favs and you know I have a lot of hats. LOL! Thanks for watching Nicole. You and TimEatsAlot have a wonderful Christmas. ~RVA~
I have been watching your videos for a while now just wanted to thank you and let you know your videos are very informative as well as entertaining... I found a heated twin size fitted sheet mat I plug it into my solar battery it only uses 30 Watts on low and it does not have an automatic shut off so I don't have to wake up to turn it off.. right now is the only heating option I have in my 2009 no build van other than I do have two rechargeable hand warmers that work well and lots of situations I even use those when I go to bed to warm up my hands and feet. Those jackets are interesting I feel like maybe you could even sleep in one to stay warm at night! Thank you so much for the great information!
Aww thank you Jay, I really appreciate your very kind comments. I am so happy when my videos help others. I have actually used one as a little heating blanket over my feet before. Oh and those rechargeable hand warmers are life savers. I like cutting one on and putting it in my sleeping bag when I get up in the middle of the night and have to go pee. When I come back to my sleeping bag it helps me warm up faster. Happy Holidays to you! ~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl Awwww thank you so much for the Holiday wishes I hope you have an Amazing Holiday as well thank you!!
I’d definitely use one for car camping for sure. I need one this week at the house for work in the yard. Gonna be 9° here in Texas.
Nice review!
Artic blast hitting TX? Nobody will be going outside LOL! Such a useful product for doing virtually anything when the conditions are cold. Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays! ~RVA~
I was hiking in -10C (14F) last week and ma, out of the sun that was dam chilly, so in those conditions this would be an absolute lifesaver . Mrs Metalman hates the cold so for her this jacket would be idea and a nice feminine colour as well but the como and black would be great for me. I like the different heat settings, the price is a bit on the steep side, especially for a couple of OAPs like us. Love the chest (core) sleeveless jacket and I think if I could afford them, I would like them to be proper waterproof and not just resistant, as I never feel confident outdoors in any sort of wet weather. The black sleeveless for me and the pink long sleeve for Mrs Metalman, - that's all your Christmas shopping done for us😁. Excellent review and I hope you have a Wonderful Christmas, cheers Alan
You could put a waterproof shell or rain jacket over a heated jacket to make it 100% waterproof in your type of wet misty rainy weather in the UK. I love that these types of jackets can enable you to stay outside longer and more comfortably. Have a wonderful holiday Alan! ~RVA~
I like the heated products available today.
Absolutely John I agree. There are a ton out there too. Lots of them to choose from that works best for you. Happy Holidays🎄 ~RVA~
I may need one of those for my trip up to Mt Leconte this weekend. Great video!
They make such a huge difference. Nothing feels better than being able to warm up when your freezing! Thanks for stopping by Johnny! Happy Holidays🎄~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl Happy Holidays to you as well.
I personally always seem to be too hot, so this is not a product for me. But there's a lady at my work who swears she couldn't live without these. For people who are often cold, I think they both look great. And you've done an awesome review on both! I LOVE your hat! Merry Christmas, girl! 😁🎄
Hey girl! Merry Merry Christmas to you! I use to be that way, I was always hot and running warm. But that changed a few years ago and now I freeze. Thanks for watching my friend! ~RVA~
I've thoughts about getting one of these, especially for sitting around the fire or other stationary activities outside. These are both cute options!
I do love them for sitting around the campfire. It just makes you feel more cozy and comfortable when those temps are chilly. Merry Christmas!
@@RVAHikerGirl Merry Christmas! I hope you're doing well!
Very interesting
I thought so too. I’m headed to NYC for Christmas this year and I am for sure taking one of these for this artic chill that is descending on the country. Happy Holidays🎄~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl Happy Holidays- be safe
I wish it was cold enough down here just to wear a regular jacket. Lol. Good review👍😎✌️
Well yes living in the warmer states you wouldn’t get much use of these true true.🤣Thanks for checking this 1 out anyway. 👍🏼
Omg...I just ordered a heated jacket from Amazon! Btw not with the power bank but I have a few. That one looks awesome! The vest looked more comfortable. I wish I would have seen your video first cuz I'm thinking the vest would be easier to move around in. The price is reasonable 🙂
Hey van builder extraordinaire! You can def move around more in the vest, but the DEWBU blocks the wind and is warmer overall. You can beat them to stay warm out there this time of year.
Hiya RVA, I bought a cheap £20 heated body warmer from ebay last year. I absolutely loved it. Might have lasted longer if I hadn't worn it all the time in my sleeping bag at night. Was good while it lasted. These look a lot better quality happy wearing.
It just so nice to have some source of warmth out there. It makes the experience I am having more enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays. ~RVA~
I had never heard of it, but it looks interesting.
On the other, while hiking, you're body is a heater by itself. You just have to be dressed properly with enough layers, so you can layer up or down, what you need!
But at night in the camp or the next morning, this could be really helpful. Although I guess a heated blanket (if it exists) can do the job as well!
Thanks for giving us your honest review. When you're out in winter à lot, why not...
Have a great day! Kaat
I like hiking in the vest and turning it on when I first start until my body gets warm. Then turn it off. When I stop for a break and start getting chilly I turn it back on again. Sometimes it’s so cold when I hike I never take a layer off no matter how many miles I’m doing and I am still cold. So it’s nice to have an option to warm up out there. I’ve used the pink jacket over my legs when camping by the fire to keep my lower body warm too as a heating blanket. They make everything heated these days. Another video to come on some other heated outdoor products stay tuned. 😜
@@RVAHikerGirl Sounds good! I think I would like heated gloves. 😜
Get the makita jacket, you can use the batteries for power tools aswell
And merry Christmas and happy New Years to you n J and kids
Good to know Tom coming from the north. Power tools rock! ~RVA~
@@tomkelly1017 To you and your fam as well, fishing buddy. Where are we going next? Is it cobia season yet?
I'm in construction, a lot of our guys wear them.
I’m sure it helps them a lot working out in the cold. Merry Christmas
The jacket looks cool. I really need to get one
Happy Holidays. Yes, they are a great option to have depending on what you are doing in the outdoors and how long you plan on being out there. ~RVA~
I live in an apt building and have a little dog that i have to walk off property to potty and its always a nightmare when its cold. Especially in the teens. Burrr. I've got one of these.
Sorry.... got to GET one of these.
Absolutely! And you can turn in on to get it toasty before you put it on and walk outside. What a great use for this jacket! Hope it keeps you nice and toasty out there. Thanks for stopping by the channel and watching Angela. ~RVA~
Hi Jacqueline! Loved this! We know how you feel about those cold temps!
It seems as though with where the power is on the vest, and the location of the battery areas that there may be some interference with waist belts on the backpacks - so we are guessing these are meant more for around town type wear? What is your opinion?
How long did you get out of the battery on the pink jacket? The waterproof/wind blocking is a nice addition!
Nice comparison between the two products.
Interesting concept. We had looked into a few different ones last year - but never made the plunge.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!
Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
No the heating areas are above where a backpack waist belt would buckle around your waist. The only heated area would be the vest on the shoulders where a backpack shoulder straps would run and you could cut the heat off in that area if it was a problem. I would not wear either of these on a long backpacking trip only hiking and other outdoor activities. The jacket is not ultra light. I have worn them both on day hikes and enjoyed them.
@@RVAHikerGirl very cool! And boy would those have been wonderful here this past week! Hope you had a great Christmas!
@@wanderingoutyonder there's always next time. Once you feel all that warmth, its addicting to have it.
Yep who wants to be cold. In my shop there is no heat. Only the customer side has heat. This looks like a good option. Lol
That would be a great use of one of these jackets. I like hiking in the vest and turning the heat off when I warm up. Then turn it back on when I stop and get chilly. Heading out of town for Christmas into some temps in the teens and these will be going with me. Happy Holidays my friend! ~RVA~
+38 👍👍👍❤❤+ new sub
Thanks for stopping by and subbing. Very much appreciated.
Really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing 😊
You bet! I believe you have one of these vests. You should wear yours more.
