Purchased from Dick’s Sporting Goods for 149.00 for golf and motorcycle. I have not had any other vest to compare. Vest ordered was 2X as that is the size I wear for shirts. I like the fleece material instead of the puffy vinyl. Vest is light and thin enough to easily wear under a jacket. Enough room to comfortably swing a golf club. Zippers and material all appear to be quality. I charged the battery overnight as directed. I wore the vest all day doing errands. It does heat up fast, and I set it at 75%. The battery life was about 3 hrs which under performed what I expected. The heat from the vest was comfortable, but not overly impressive at this setting. I don’t believe 50% or less would be useful. The directions warn against 100% too long, but that seems like more of a liability issue than reality. I haven’t used it to ride with or play golf yet. However, I will order a 2nd battery as the charge life is not impressive. The heated collar is a nice feature and the look, feel and comfort made my decision to keep it. I had initially purchased an Ororo heated vest but after exchanging a 2X for a 3X with seemingly no difference in size I opted for the Gerbing. However, I never tested the battery life on the Ororo. My only recommendation is to purchase 2 batteries and I think it will perform as described
