How long does the battery last?

It depends on the heat setting. Expect the longest runtime on low and the shortest on high. Carry a spare pack for full ski days.

Is it actually waterproof?

The shell is listed as waterproof and handles snow and light rain. It is not a substitute for a technical hardshell in sustained heavy rain.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. Remove the battery pack and disconnect the wiring before washing.

How does it fit for layering?

It is a regular fit with a fleece lining. Most buyers size normally and still have room for a base layer underneath.

Does it come with the battery?

Check the listing: heated jackets are usually sold with a battery and charger, but some listings sell the jacket alone.

Is it warm enough without the heat on?

It is a midweight insulated jacket, so it works as a normal fall jacket with the heat off. It is not a deep-winter parka on its own.

Our take on the Venustas Women's Heated Jacket

A hooded, midweight heated jacket for skiing, hiking and cold-weather commuting. It runs on a rechargeable battery pack that warms the chest and back, and the polyester-spandex shell with fleece lining is listed as waterproof and machine washable. It suits women who want adjustable on-demand warmth under a shell or on its own in fall and mild winter. Against heated vests and hard-shell heated jackets, it sits in the middle: more coverage than a vest, less weather protection than a dedicated ski shell.

Best forSkiers and snowboarders wanting warmth on liftsHikers and walkers in cold, damp weatherCommuters who feel the coldAnyone layering under a shell

Pros

Casual enough to wear off the slopes

Cons

Battery pack adds weight and needs recharging
Heat output depends on the pack, not the jacket alone

Bulkier than an unheated softshell
