Our pick
Best overall: Lecritque Heated Gilet Womens, model WH-MJ01, black (£99.99 for size XS). A polyester heated vest with 15 heating zones, 3 heat levels and a 16000mAh battery pack included, according to the listing.
What the Amazon UK listing says
Heating zones: 15 zones described as covering the neck, shoulders, back, waist and abdomen. The listing says the gilet warms evenly to avoid localised overheating.
Heat levels: High, Medium and Low, given on the listing only in Fahrenheit as 149°F, 131°F and 113°F. That is roughly 65°C, 55°C and 45°C. The seller says the element heats up in 3 seconds.
Controls: two switches (front and back) plus the three heat levels, so you can choose which areas to heat.
Battery: a 16000mAh "certified" battery pack is listed, and the product details say 1 non-standard battery is required and included. The listing also says the gilet is compatible with universal 5V/2A batteries and the pack has a USB port for charging smart devices. The battery voltage and watt-hour rating are not given.
Run time (seller figures): front button only: High 12 hours, Medium 15 hours, Low 20 hours. Back button only: High 8 hours, Medium 10 hours, Low 16 hours. Both on: High 3–4 hours, Medium 4–5 hours, Low 7–8 hours. The headline "up to 20 hours" applies only to the front zones on Low.
Material and care: polyester, listed as water resistant, zip closure. Hand wash or machine wash, with the battery pack removed first. Country of origin China. Manufacturer listed as Huizhou Weihang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

Why some specs are a dash
The listing does not give the battery voltage or watt-hours, the charging time, the gilet's weight, size chart measurements in the details we read, or a warranty. We have not used any star rating or review count from the page, because this listing is new (first available 4 August 2026) and any rating may be shared across sizes.
Who it suits
This gilet suits women who want a heated layer with the battery already in the box, for dog walks, outdoor work, cycling, camping or a cold office. The two-switch control is useful if you only want back or front heat and longer run time. If you already own a good power bank, cheaper heated gilets on Amazon UK that ship without a battery may cost much less; our Simoobee Heated Gilet review covers one at £34.99 (battery not included) when we checked in October.
Things to check before you buy
Price by size: £99.99 is the price we saw for XS. Other sizes have their own listings and may be priced differently, so check your size before ordering.
Jacket or gilet: the listing title ends with "Rechargeable Heated Jacket", but the item type and photos show a sleeveless gilet (vest). It has no sleeves.
Battery details: the listing calls the battery "non-standard" in one place and says it is compatible with universal 5V/2A batteries in another. If you plan to use your own power bank, check with the seller first.
Heat safety: the highest setting is about 65°C. Start on Low, wear a base layer underneath, and do not sleep in it with the heat on. If you have reduced feeling in your skin, ask a GP or pharmacist first.
Seller: sold by Lecritque and dispatched from Amazon.

Frequently asked questions
Are heated gilets safe?
Heated gilets are generally used safely when you follow the instructions. This Lecritque gilet lists a top setting of 149°F (about 65°C), so start on Low, wear a layer underneath, take the battery out before washing and do not sleep in it with the heat on. Take extra care, and ask a GP or pharmacist first, if you have reduced feeling in your skin.
Do heated gilets work?
They warm your torso rather than the room. The Lecritque listing says its 15 zones cover the neck, shoulders, back, waist and abdomen, with three heat levels. We have not tested how warm it feels, so treat the heat-up and temperature figures as the seller's claims.
How long do heated gilets last?
On one charge, it depends on the setting and zones. The seller says this gilet runs about 3–4 hours with all zones on High and 7–8 hours on Low, rising to 20 hours with only the front zones on Low. The listing does not state the battery's lifespan in years.
Can you wash a heated gilet?
Many can. This Lecritque listing says it is hand washable and machine washable, and that you must remove the battery pack before cleaning.
Are heated gilets any good?
They suit people who are outdoors in the cold or want to keep warm without heating a whole room. Whether this one is good value depends on price and battery: it was £99.99 for XS with a 16000mAh battery included, while some cheaper gilets need your own power bank.
