Is the Venustas heated coat worth it over a regular down puffer?

If you spend time outdoors in deep cold, the added active heat goes beyond what down alone gives. For mild winters, a plain down puffer is lighter and cheaper.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the heat level you select, with higher settings draining the 7.4V pack faster. Expect several hours on lower settings and plan to recharge after each use.

What size should I order?

It has a regular fit across XS to 2XL, with a 2XL fitting a 46 to 48 inch chest. Check the size chart against your measurements, since the heated layers add some bulk.

No. The polyester shell is water-resistant and handles light snow or drizzle, but it is not waterproof. Down insulation loses loft if it gets soaked.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, it is machine washable. Remove the battery and detachable hood first, and follow the care label so the down and heating elements are not damaged.

Heated coats typically drop in price during pre-winter sales and after the holidays. Check the price history on this page to see where the current price sits.
