This $300 Heated Jacket Left Me Shivering but Cleaned My Glasses Perfectly

I wish the heating zones were more efficient and the battery life was longer.

Uze, a brand that primarily makes power banks, sent me its first-ever graphene-heated jacket this winter. After wearing it for a couple of days, I’ll admit I was left wanting for way more.

I wasn’t a fan of either the aesthetic or the performance. It felt as if only three of the four graphene pads worked, leaving me feeling extremely cold in multiple situations. Promising a charging time of around 45 minutes, the jacket took a whopping five-plus hours to charge at first and two to three hours after a couple of recharge cycles.

Uze’s heated jacket sounds loaded with features when you review its specs on paper, but half of those specs feel unnecessary when it’s in use. I believe Uze could have focused more on providing what the jacket is intended to offer instead of trying to achieve a bit of everything. We’ll go over these features over the next few slides.

All in all, this $300 jacket needs a lot of work. There are much better options for under $100 available on Amazon.
