The Simoobee Heated Gilet is a sleeveless heated vest sold on Amazon UK by Wanlou Apparel. It has 15 heating zones across the back, neck and front, 3 heat levels on a single button, and a pocket for the power bank that runs it. One important point first: despite how it is sometimes described, the battery is not included. The Amazon UK listing title says "Battery not included", and you need your own 5V/2A USB power bank of at least 10,000mAh. This review-style post covers this one product only and sticks to what the Amazon UK listing says. We have not tested it ourselves. When we checked on 21 October 2026, it was £34.99 on Amazon UK as a limited-time deal (RRP £49.99), in stock in sizes S to 3XL in black, sold by Wanlou Apparel and dispatched from Amazon. Below you will find what the listing says, what to budget for a power bank, safety points on heat and lithium-ion batteries from official UK sources, and answers to questions people search for about heated vests and gilets. Prices change often, so check the live price before you buy.

What the seller claims, and how to read it
The listing describes the materials as durable and high quality and says the vest gives long-lasting performance and even heat. These are the seller's own descriptions, and we have not tested them.
Safety points before you buy
Heat: the highest setting is listed at 60°C. Start on low, wear the gilet over a base layer rather than against bare skin, and turn it off if you feel too hot or your skin becomes red or sore. Take extra care if you have reduced feeling in your skin, for example from diabetes or nerve problems, and ask a GP or pharmacist first. Do not sleep in it with the heat on.
Medical devices and pregnancy: if you have a pacemaker or another implanted device, or you are pregnant, check with your doctor or the device maker before using heated clothing.
Power banks and lithium-ion batteries: the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) advises buying batteries and chargers from trusted sellers and following the maker's instructions. Its advice is written for e-bikes, but the same principles apply to power banks. Charge while you are awake and present, in a place that does not block exits, and unplug once fully charged. Stop using a battery or charger straight away if it overheats, changes shape, makes hissing or cracking noises, smells or smokes.
Washing: take the power bank out and unplug the cable before washing, and follow the care label.
Flying: GOV.UK says some airlines have different rules on electronic items and batteries. Check with your airline before you travel with the gilet and power bank.

Frequently asked questions
Are heated gilets safe?
Treat a heated gilet like any heated, battery-powered product. This Simoobee gilet tops out at a listed 60°C, so start on low, wear it over a base layer and take extra care if you have reduced skin sensation. OPSS advises buying batteries from trusted sellers, following the maker's instructions and stopping if a battery overheats, swells or smells.
Do heated vests come with a battery pack?
Some do, but this Simoobee heated gilet does not. The Amazon UK listing says the battery is not included and that you need a 5V/2A power bank of at least 10,000mAh.
What size power bank for a heated vest?
For this Simoobee gilet, the listing asks for a 5V/2A USB power bank with at least 10,000mAh capacity. Other heated vests can need different power banks, so check each product's listing or manual.
Can you wash a heated vest?
The Amazon UK listing gives machine wash as the care instruction for this gilet. Remove the power bank and unplug the cable first, and follow the care label inside the garment.
How do heated vests work?
Heating pads sewn into the vest warm up when powered by a battery. On this Simoobee gilet, a USB power bank in a dedicated pocket powers 15 heating zones on the back, neck and front, with 3 heat levels controlled by one button.
Can you wear a heated vest on a plane?
GOV.UK says some airlines have different rules on electronic items and batteries. This gilet runs from a separate power bank, so check with your airline before you fly.
