Always leave the house warm: My experience with the heated parka jacket from Gløde

Always leave the house warm: My experience with the heated parka jacket from Gløde

Cold and I have never been friends. I always get cold hands and feet quickly, and despite a thick coat I often chattered as soon as the temperature dropped below zero.

Until I discovered Gløde's heated parka jacket.

At first I thought: another gadget, probably too good to be true. But honestly? This coat has completely changed my winter.

Finally a coat that really stays warm

Everyone knows it. You put on a thick winter coat, scarf, hat. You step out the door and think: Lovely and warm . But ten minutes later you feel the cold creeping through your coat. Especially on your bike or when you have to stand still for a moment. And then?

The Gløde heated parka solves that problem. No more layers on top of each other. No stress about whether it's warm enough. Just one coat that does what it promises: keeping you warm. When you want it to.

What exactly is a heated parka?

A heated parka looks like a regular winter coat. Until you put it on. Thin, flexible heating elements are placed in strategic places – your back, chest, and sometimes even your neck. They are powered by a rechargeable power bank.

You choose how warm you want it. Most models have three heat settings. Low for autumn weather, medium for a chilly winter day, and high for when it's really chilly.

For example, the Gløde Classic universal jacket works with one push of a button. Within a minute you can feel the heat spreading.

Why a parka and not a regular heated jacket?

A parka is longer than a regular coat. That really makes a difference when it's windy or rainy. The extra length also keeps your upper legs warm, something I never had in a coat before.

When I go hiking or biking in the winter, I always choose the parka style. It protects against the wind, stays closed and looks stylish. Not too sporty, but not too formal either. Just, just right.

It offers everything you expect from a heated jacket , with that little bit of extra comfort and style.

My experience: from freezing cold to comfortably warm

My first real test? A two-hour walk through the forest. It was -3°C, windless, but freezing cold. I turned the heating on medium and was immediately surprised.

No clammy back. No goose bumps. Just constant, pleasant warmth. As if someone had placed a blanket over my shoulders that moved with me.

Also nice: I didn't need to wear a thick sweater or thermal shirt. A regular hoodie was enough. And the battery? It easily lasted an entire afternoon.

Since then I wear it for everything: grocery shopping, walking the dog, cycling to work. Even sitting on the terrace with a beer in January? No problem anymore.

How does the parka jacket compare to other heated clothing from Gløde?

The parka is great on its own. But if you combine it with other heated clothing from Gløde? Then the cold is no longer a factor.

I also have the heated gloves myself. They are really a godsend if you spend a lot of time on the bike or if your hands get cold quickly.

And under the parka on the really cold days I wear one of the electrically heated fleece vests . Light, soft and extra warmth on your core. Everything works on power banks, so no loose cables or fiddling. Just turn it on and enjoy.

Who is this really a game changer for?

I can imagine that not everyone is jumping for joy at a “gadget jacket”. But believe me: this is more than a gadget. This is simply comfort.

This jacket is perfect for:

  • People with a dog who also have to go outside in the cold.

  • Sports parents standing on the sidelines shivering.

  • Cyclists who do not always want to wear a windbreaker and sports jacket.

  • Travelers to cold countries.

  • People who work in markets or do odd jobs outside.

And let's be honest: also for anyone who prefers it warm rather than cold.

Sustainability and maintenance

The jacket feels sturdy. Not heavy, but solid. And the great thing is: you don't have to treat it any differently than a regular jacket.

You simply charge the power bank via USB. No hassle with replacing batteries. And the jacket itself? That can go in the washing machine. Just disconnect the power bank and the cable, and voila, done.

It feels good to know that this is not a disposable product. You buy it, use it for years, and save on bulky sweaters, extra layers, and other clunky solutions to the cold.

Is it worth the money? Absolutely.

I was hesitant about the price at first. A heated jacket is of course not a tenner purchase. But now? I would do it again in a heartbeat.

You don't just buy a coat. You buy comfort, convenience and style in one. You don't have to think about whether you are dressed warmly enough. You just put it on.

And if you look at what you get – smart technology, rechargeable power bank, beautiful design – then it is completely worth the money.
