Women's Heated Jackets

A heated jacket is a sleeveless, battery-powered garment that uses built-in heating elements to warm your core in cold conditions. Anniou's range of heated gilets is designed for outdoor workers, winter sports enthusiasts, and anyone who wants reliable warmth without the bulk of a full jacket.

How to Choose a Heated Jacket

Choosing the right heated gilet comes down to four key factors: heating zones, insulation type, intended use, and style. Here's what to consider for each.

1. Heating Zones

Most Anniou heated coat feature core-body heating zones positioned over the left chest, right chest, and back. This placement targets the body's core, the most effective area for maintaining warmth in cold weather.

Some models also include heating zones in the hand pockets and along the collar, which is useful for keeping your hands and neck warm during prolonged outdoor exposure.

2. Insulation Type

The type of insulation determines how well a heated jacket retains warmth — both with and without the heating elements active.

• Down or goose down insulation offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and is ideal if you want a lightweight coat that packs down easily.
• Cotton insulation is the popular choice if you need a heated coat that performs well at a good price.

3. Intended Use

Anniou offers heated clothing tailored to specific activities:

• Heated hunting jackets — designed for extended periods of stillness in cold outdoor environments
• Heated golf jackets — lightweight and flexible to support a full range of motion on the course
• Heated high-visibility work coats — featuring high-reflective tape for safety during outdoor or roadside tasks
• Casual Wear — Made to the highest qualtiy, our heated clothing are perfect for any occasion.

If you need heated clothing for a specific activity, choosing a purpose-built style will give you better performance and comfort than a general-purpose option.

4. Everyday Styles

Beyond specialist options, Anniou's range includes a variety of fits and necklines:

• V-neck
• Stand collar
• Puffer
• Slim fit
• Oversized

All Anniou garments are machine washable for easy care.

How Does The Battery Work?

A battery works by passing an electrical current from a rechargeable battery. Through built-in heating elements, which convert that energy into heat and distribute it across the body.

Carbon Fibre Heating Elements

Anniou use advanced carbon fibre heating elements integrated directly into the garment. These elements are ultra-thin and lightweight, meaning they add no noticeable bulk. They generate and distribute heat evenly across the chest and back, providing consistent warmth rather than isolated hot spots.

Upgraded Battery Pack

Each Anniou jacket is powered by a rechargeable battery designed specifically for heated apparel:

• Full recharge time: 4 hours (using a 5V/3A charger)
• Battery life: Up to 10 hours on the low heat setting
• Design: Rounded corners for a comfortable, unobtrusive fit in the battery pocket

The battery heats the coat rapidly, delivering warmth within seconds of switching it on — useful when temperatures drop suddenly.

What Is a Heated Puffer Jacket?

A heated puffer jacket is a quilted, insulated coat combining traditional puffer-style warmth with active, adjustable heat.

Because puffer jackets already trap air within their quilted material. Adding heating pads creates a dual-warmth effect.

Best used for: Cold-weather commuting, standing outdoors for long periods, and general winter wear. Shop our Men's Duck Down Heated Puffer Jacket and Men's Heated Puffer Jacket.

Pairs well with: A Men's Fleece Heated Vest worn underneath for extra core warmth, or heated gloves on especially cold days.

What Is a Heated Softshell Jacket?

A heated softshell jacket uses a flexible, wind-resistant outer shell rather than thick padding, making it lighter and less bulky than a puffer while still delivering targeted heat to the chest and back.

This makes softshell styles better suited to activity than heavy insulated coats, since the stretch fabric allows a fuller range of motion.

Best used for: Active outdoor use such as hiking, dog walking, or working outdoors where mobility matters. Anniou's 9 Area Heated Softshell Jacket and Men's Heated Softshell Jacket are both listed in this collection.

Pairs well with: A base layer such as Men's Heated Fleece Jacket for milder days, or a heated scarf for added neck warmth in wind.

What Is a Hooded Heated Jacket?

A hooded heated jacket is a heated coat with an attached hood, while adding coverage for the head and neck in exposed conditions.

The hood provides extra protection against wind chill, which is useful when heating zones aren't enough to offset cold to the head.

Best used for: Exposed, windy environments—think roadside work, dog walks in open fields, or standing at outdoor events. Anniou's Men's Heated Hooded Padded Jacket is available within the men's heated jackets collection.

Pairs well with: Heated gloves to keep hands warm when the hood is up and pockets aren't in use.

What Is a Waterproof Heated Jacket?

A waterproof (or water-resistant) heated jacket is a heated coat built with a weather-resistant outer shell.

Our waterproof jackets are designed with water-resistant shells suitable for light rain and snow.

Best used for: Damp winter commutes, light snow, and unpredictable outdoor conditions where some rain resistance is needed. Styles such as the Quilted Heated Jacket and Mens Heated Jacket are available to purchase now.

Pairs well with: A waterproof shell layered over the top during heavy rain. Or a heated gilet underneath for extra insulation.
