How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the heat setting; the highest setting drains it fastest. Expect several hours on high and most of a day on low. Carry the charger for long outings.

Can I wash it with the battery?

No. Remove the battery and disconnect the heating cable before machine washing. Follow the care label and let the down dry fully, fluffing it as it dries.

Does it fit true to size?

Buyers generally say it runs true to size, and it is offered in regular and plus sizes up to 1XL. If you plan to layer thick sweaters, consider sizing up.

Is it warm enough without turning the heat on?

Yes. The 100% down fill and heavyweight build make it a warm parka on its own; the heating adds extra warmth on the coldest days.

What comes in the box?

The parka, a rechargeable battery and a charging cable. Check that the battery is charged before first use.

How does it compare with a heated vest?

It covers your arms and thighs as well as your core, and the down fill insulates far better than a thin vest. The trade-off is more weight and bulk.

Our take on the ORORO SOHO Women's Heated Down Parka Jacket with Battery

The ORORO SOHO is a women's down parka with a built-in battery and heating elements, so it warms you actively instead of only trapping body heat. It uses 100% down fill, a hood, a two-way zipper and a machine-washable polyester shell. It suits commuters, outdoor workers and anyone who stays cold in a normal winter coat. Against unheated down parkas it adds adjustable heat but weighs more and needs charging; against other heated jackets it stands out for full-length parka coverage and down fill rather than thin synthetic insulation.
