What to look for when buying a heated jumper
1. Where the heat zones are
In damp, windy weather you lose most of your warmth through your back and the nape of your neck. Count the zones, but also check where they sit. The Wøley spreads 5 panels across stomach, back and neck.
2. Whether you can adjust the heat
A brisk walk to the station needs less heat than standing still on a cold platform. According to the product description, the Wøley panels can be adjusted separately with a single button.
3. Battery and run time
Gløde quotes 3 to 6 hours of heat for the 10,000 mAh power bank and 6 to 12 hours for the 20,000 mAh power bank, depending on the setting. With the Wøley you choose the size yourself. Read more on our page about how long the battery in heated clothing lasts.
4. Washing
You wear a jumper close to your skin, so it needs to go in the wash. The Wøley is washable once the battery and elements are removed.
5. Warranty and trial period
Gløde gives a 2-year warranty and a 30-day trial with a money-back guarantee. Ororo states 3 years on heating elements and 1 year on the battery for vests and jackets. Bertschat offers free returns within 30 days.
The models reviewed
Gløde Wøley heated fleece: our pick for everyday wear
The Wøley comes first because it gets the essentials right at a fair price. It has 5 heating panels: 2 on the stomach, 2 on the back and 1 at the neck. The lining is soft fleece, the shell and filling are polyester, and there is a handy chest pocket. The cut is unisex.
The blue Wøley starts from €139.99 and the red Wøley also from €139.99. The final price depends on the power bank you choose. It is CE certified and protected against overheating. Gløde holds a 4.8 rating on Trustpilot from 237 reviews, delivers in 1 to 3 days and provides European customer service.
Honest drawback: Gløde does not state a maximum temperature for the Wøley, and there is no hood.
Ororo men's heated fleece jacket
A fleece jacket with 4 zones for €159.99 (price November 2026). The plus is the longer warranty on the elements. Compared with the Wøley it has one zone fewer and is a men's cut.
Ororo Preston unisex hoodie
A hoodie with 5 zones for €209.99 (price November 2026). Good if you want a hood, though you pay considerably more than for a Wøley with the same number of zones.
Bertschat heated hoodie
Dutch brand Bertschat sells its hoodie as Dual Heating at €169.95 and Single Heating at €129.95 with a promotional discount (prices November 2026). We could not find the number of zones or a maximum temperature on the product pages. Returns are free within 30 days.
Who is a heated jumper for?
- Commuters: under a waterproof on a wet, windy walk or ride to work.
- Outdoor workers: as a warm mid layer on site, in the yard or at the market stall on a raw morning.
- Touchline parents and dog walkers: when you are outside for an hour without moving much.
- Working from home: a warm layer instead of turning up the heating. See our page on heated clothing to save on gas.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear a heated jumper in the rain?
A fleece is not a rain jacket. Wear it under a waterproof shell to keep the elements dry and the warmth in.
Can I take the power bank on a flight?
Power banks generally go in hand luggage. Check your airline's rules before you travel.
How do I wash the Wøley?
Remove the power bank and the elements first, as described on the product page. Then the fleece can be washed.
Does Gløde ship to Ireland and the UK?
Delivery terms per country are on our shipping and returns page.
What if it is not for me?
You can try it for 30 days with a money-back guarantee. See our 30-day trial page.
Conclusion
For most people the Gløde Wøley fleece is the sensible choice: 5 panels across stomach, back and neck, washable, unisex and cheaper than comparable hoodies. If a hood matters most, Ororo and Bertschat are worth a look. Browse every model in our heated jumpers collection.
