Heated Jackets Are Having a Huge Moment This Season, and Amazon Shoppers Say These Are the Best

You know the feeling you get when you take a big gulp of hot cocoa or apple cider? A rush of heat spreads through your chest and fills your body with warmth. Well, when you wear a heated jacket, that feeling never ends. It's like having a heating pad attached to your body, but without the extra weight. If you're thinking, "Why have I never owned one before?" you're probably not alone.

Whether you're shoveling snow off of your driveway or you're always cold at outdoor sporting events, chances are, you've wished for a warmer coat before. The answer to your plea is here: A heated jacket keeps you toasty without having to wear multiple layers underneath. Powered by batteries, most heated jackets last between a couple of hours to a few days, depending on the battery strength, so you can comfortably tailgate for a football game or scrape ice off of your windshield without shivering the whole time.

From fleece-lined picks to soft shell parkas, there's bound to be a style and fit of a heated jacket that you'll love. Unfortunately, because of their innovative design, heated jackets aren't cheap. But the investment is worthwhile, and you likely won't regret it when you're the only one not shaking in the cold while ice skating.

Although, you might be surprised to see these 10 heated jackets for women on Amazon actually range from $140 to $220, which probably isn't that much more expensive than what you pay for coats without heaters. Choose between Amazon shoppers' top picks for a heated jacket below.
