9 Best Heated Jackets

For guys who want a durable jacket that will last them for many winters, DeWalt’s heated jacket is definitely a top pick. With its water-resistant polyester outer shell, you’ll find the jacket can take quite the beating (from outdoor work or sports) without damage. The shell is thick and can handle more wear and tear than any other jacket on our list.

Working men will love the five zippered pockets, which give you plenty of carrying space for all your tools and gadgets. The jacket isn’t so bulky that it hinders your freedom of movement, but it is thick enough to keep you warm all winter long, even if the heater is switched off. Great for a working man!

The jacket comes with four heating zones (chest and back), so it will spread the heat all over your upper body very effectively. The built-in heating element is slim and lightweight so as not to hamper your freedom of movement. For those who want to slip into a warm garment, the pre-heat setting is absolute magic! The jacket’s built-in battery can even be used to charge your phone, thanks to the 2 USB charging ports.

Sadly, battery life on this bad boy is below average—you get just 2-4 hours of use on the higher settings, or 6-7 on the highest setting. The lifespan of the battery is also pretty poor, with less than 2 years of regular use before it craps out. However, the jacket is compatible with any 12V and 20V DeWalt battery, so it will be a simple matter to replace when it fails.

 Starting at $195 and going as high as $220, this is definitely on the pricier side of things. However, the jacket itself is durable and worth the price, though you may need to prepare yourself to spend a bit more on new batteries down the line.

For guys who want form over function, this is the jacket for you. It’s stylish, lightweight, and sleek, giving you great freedom of movement and versatility. Sadly, this means it sacrifices a bit of insulation, so it won’t be suitable for proper cold winters without the heating element. It’s also not the most durable, and is prone to wear and tear.

However, it’s a VERY convenient jacket, thanks to the five deep pockets that offer you plenty of storage space, the 2 USB ports to charge your smartphone/devices, and the water- and wind-proof design. If you want a jacket that you can wear through a mild (California or Florida) winter, this is your best choice.

The built-in heater runs on a 12V Bosch battery, and it delivers up to 5 hours of run time on the lowest setting, or 2-3 hours on the highest setting. The battery itself is durable and will last for hundreds of recharges, but it will wear out quicker as a result of this short run time (meaning more re-charges).

However, while the heater is on, you will definitely be warm! The three heat zones (back and chest) ensure that your whole upper body stays warm, and you can easily switch through the 3 heat settings. With the USB charger, you can plug your jacket into the wall while at work to top up the battery. Or, if your battery is running out, switch it out with any 12V Bosch batterey.

Starting at $170 and running as high as $210, this is slightly better priced than the DeWalt jacket. Though it lacks the durability, it’s lighter and more versatile, not to mention a lot more stylish!

If you’re a hiker who needs to stay warm in the great outdoors, this is the jacket for you. Made from 95% polyester and 5% Spandex, it’s lightweight, wind and waterproof, and surprisingly warm even when the heater is switched off. You’ll find that it makes a very good thermal layer in harsh climates, making it the perfect jacket to wear beneath a heavy arctic overcoat or on its own.

The jacket is sleek and sporty, with a fitted design that makes it perfect for hiking, camping, and outdoor sports—basically any activity that requires a free range of movement. Definitely your best choice for a hiking trip!

The built-in heater is powered by a 4400 mAh, 7.4V lithium battery, which is easily recharged and delivers above average run time—up to 8 hours on the lowest setting. The jacket doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but once you figure out how to switch on the heater, it’s easy to control. The heating zones built into the front and back will keep your entire torso warm, no matter how cold it gets.

At $130, this is one of the lowest-priced jackets on our list, and one of the most comfortable as well. Worth every penny if you’re planning a winter hike or camping trip.

There are adjustable cuffs and the waist has a drop tail extended back for extra insulation. Even without the built-in heater, this coat is going to keep you warm. The material itself is made from ToughShell Stretch Polyester, which delivers five times longer life thanks to its durability. The jacket is wind and water-resistant, so you wear it anytime, anywhere. Did we mention that it’s machine-wash and dryer friendly? 

There are three levels of heating per heat zone. Which means you can adjust the front heaters separately from the back heaters. The battery life lasts up to 8 hours, giving you a full day of warmth. This jacket includes an M12 Redlithium 2.0 Compact Battery Pack

Remember that if the coat is on a high setting, it won’t last for the full 8 hours. The higher the heat level, the faster the battery will drain. A few users recommended bringing a second battery pack if you plan on being outdoors for an extended period. 

This is one of the sturdiest jackets on our list that also has a strong battery life. It’s selling on Amazon for $239.00. If you live in a climate where temperatures often reach below freezing, we highly recommend this jacket. It keeps you insulated, and is built to last in frigid climates.
