Electric Heated Vest and Hand Warmers -- True difference-makers

Today, I just froze my feet. Haha I’m looking into buying a pair of Ororo’s new heated socks. They cost a pretty penny, but if they’re half as good as the vest, they’ll be worth it.

I have 2 pair of their ssocks for when it's really cold out. They do a good job and I recommend them.

Incredible!

I noticed that it’s a puffer vest. Is it not pretty noisy to hunt in? And not great when wet?

I wear it inside my outer jacket, so the sound ha never been a problem for me. And due to the electric component of it, I’ve never used it when wet.
 
I just got the action heat rechargeable insoles from Cabela's. They come with a tiny remote to turn them on. They work awesome, best $120 I've spent .

Anyone using the Ororo products tried charging them with phone bricks? My camp doesn’t have power. Can I use a phone charger, or would I have to use a generator?

I own the scentlok heated vest (don’t care about the scent side of it) because it uses any portable battery charger. It’s pretty awesome

Do they have a remote?

No...the temp control is on the battery which slides into a pocket near the top of the socks. You have to set the temp before climbing or risk fiddling with them in the stand, the button is small. I always ran mine on low...high is too hot for me.

Thanks. I’d like to find some quality ones with a remote.

I'm cold-natured and have Reynaud's, which is a condition that makes my hand and feet ice cold super easily (like when I'm not wearing house shoes in my 70* house). So, suffice it to say, it's really important for me to find ways to stay warm during cold hunts. I've tried a bunch of options (chemical hand warmers, microwavable butt pads, hot coffee in my thermos, etc.), and I just wanted to quickly share my two biggest difference-makers in case others are struggling with cutting hunts short due to cold: My electric hand warmers (this BoneView one and this OCOOPA one), and my electric heated vest (this Ororo one). The vest really makes a huge difference with keeping my core warm, and it lets me drop at least one bulky layer of clothing with no drop-off in warmth. The hand-warmers stay on low in my jacket pockets and let me wear lightweight gloves instead of mittens or the like.
These two items have really streamlined my cold weather gear list, so I figured I'd pass along these recommendations to you fine folks.
And for the record, I'm not sponsored, nor are those affiliate links, so I stand to gain nothing but your gratitude if you purchase those items.

@TNbowhunter - it’s been a couple of years since you posted this - do you still recommend the linked items? Have you found anything else you like better? Also, what kind of lightweight gloves do you prefer to use in conjunction with the handwarmer?

Folks are talking about the rechargeable hand warmers in the “Perfect hunting gloves” thread, so I figured I’d revive this old thread to ask for some updated info on rechargeable hand warmers…

Yes, I like the BoneView electric hand warmer better than the OCOOPA one, but they're both solid. I still LOOOVVVEE my ORORO heated vest--it is THE key piece for my comfort in the stand on cold days.

My favorite pairs of gloves to use in conjunction with those are in this comment in that thread, actually: https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/perfect-hunting-gloves.53528/post-758340
