I paid only £15 for the heated gilet I have. Power pack was £25 if I recall correctly. I wear it for sitting up high seats before it gets light in Winter. Had it two winters.
The gilet is SO warm I have never yet needed to switch on the power!

The £15 el cheapo heated gilet which I bought is just the opposite and very slippy. 
I think it would be ideal under a shooting coat, but must admit that I have never tried it.

Was it an Ebay Chinese special?

You raise some interesting points;

I have found difficulty on getting anything made for a Chinaman to fit accurately as their comparative size guides are way off.

The drag you mention is certainly a valid consideration as you must be comfortable when shooting, as you say for ordinary use it would probably be fine.

I shall have a look around and see whether I will part with my hard earned for one of these heated gilets.

Yep, I know what you mean about sizing, I even emailed the seller and asked what size I needed to order but it was still a little snug at XL.

I am giving it another go, I have ordered a smooth one, I have looked at the size chart and ordered a XL this one also comes with a battery but its bigger 16000mAh as opposed to the last one (micro fleece) at 10000mAh….https://www.amazon.co.uk/BEKOMIYA-Heated-10000mAh-Temperature-Lightweight/dp/B0CG8GCKGP/ref=sr_1_5?crid=UYLG7BONLE2C&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gn8TFg-RvqxSKJ8qu0Wi6QOyY-E7KIWuabjSirKnjB4F9sW_8-y2-AT5FeEvw_HD2md98_nnacCdo6Jh1KUjRE9iek2qMqAiigqoGKzymPHy3oldd5Ua7JZI7ceUlBNr0YfX1tJIlFRmgUjceYrIy1rUEsRVqHanxg4Gn-QguhUzYkJSB1Oe24qoPlYwE_E5v0v40FoiirGY6PewBthnuEYLljOY1S1qqESEZxoByqOj8m3jmGldKJaGHxQ2NhLx3YZk2IRPkQ7I_41OZ_wFlh47XDaVb7q5HJE3eSh8nDU.lKsyh4vWuNhZT6OtfDhWhtn_d8PL7eoC2rYi2YfvPI0&dib_tag=se&keywords=BEKOMIYA%2BHeated%2BGilet%2Bfor%2BMen&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1732036195&s=apparel&sprefix=bekomiya%2Bheated%2Bgilet%2Bfor%2Bmen%2B%2Cfashion%2C82&sr=1-5&th=1&psc=1

I also like the look of this one but it does not come with a battery...https://www.amazon.co.uk/FERNIDA-Heated-Electric-Battery-Included/dp/B08FJ7G83C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

Hello, My first heated waist coat was a Chinese special, It fell apart with the stitching and stopped working , It lasted 2 year and about £15 so not much lost, I have the Deer Hunter but if i were after buying another it would be New Forest Clothing own brand on special offer, Yes a tad more than Amazon but would have a decent warranty and better made, £10 for a Power Bank

Second year up in Scotland and it’s been -10c AGAIN!! 
 

Is a heated gilet good or heated thermals (top and bottom set). 
 

It ain’t half cold with that wind on you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥶🥶🥶

Hello, If i was buying another heated jacket it would be the fleece type, wear over a shirt with a thin top and shooting coat, and a scarf, i realy feel the cold and have 3 sets of under wear thermals from primark, my son bought me a set from M and S and i find very very warm without the need to switch on heated waistcoat, He also bought me a power bank which lasts all day on low heat so it must be the a high mAh , I have not looked at the heated thermals, If you shooting in - 10 add some warm gloves and thermal hat and you should be ok,

Don't be such a wimp Lloyd  , minus 10 isn't nothing to worry about , you should have climatised yourself before you went by putting your hands in the freezer for a few minutes each day 😄 , still how was the shooting this year and did you see good numbers   MM

So do I , that was the only year when I had my brothers paratropper's camo jacket on one day when I went wildfowling in what they called Black ice ( freezing drizzle ) when I got home my hands were so cold I couldn't pull the frozen zip down , my ole chap was at home and when he pulled the zip down he stood the jacket up in the corner of the living room as it had froze solid

I’ll write it all up when I get back mate and have the laptop. 
 

We saw massive numbers the first day but they were hanging just out of range.

So cold that night the duck ponds froze so shoot cancelled, same happened last year 🤦‍♂️. 
 

Didn’t see hardly any today, but the few small skeins that came over did commit right in to the decoys and I dropped a few nice birds.

 

Had a brilliant flight tonight on a large pond where we took 20 duck. 
 

Last goose flight tomorrow before we head home. 
 

I took my GoPro this year so have some great footage I’ll edit together once back home

Looking forward to the update Lloyd and glad you are getting some shooting in some proper wildfowling weather , it's been really cold here the last two days but the wind have dropped, the sky is clear so a sharp frost in the morning .   MM

Hello, Yes it was very cold, The pigeons froze on top of the sprout stalks, We had an old car bonnet for sledging on the hill, happy days
