Heated Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Hoodie, zip-up hoodie or sweatshirt?

A pullover hoodie like Velocor or the Zippa men's hoodie is the snuggest option for lounging indoors and on the couch. Zip-up hoodies like Voltor or the unisex Olivora zip-up open quickly when you get too warm – handy when you're going back and forth between indoors and outdoors. The Aeroan crewneck sweatshirt works well as a layer under a jacket or coat, since there's no hood bunching up at the back of your neck. With Zippo in a forest print and the Kernor men's sweat hoodie, there are models for the garden, the workshop and the weekend. For women, there's also Cosaro, a women's jacket made of sweatshirt fabric.

Warmth indoors and out

Instead of turning up the heat in your whole home, a heated hoodie warms your upper body exactly where you need it. You choose between 3 heat settings up to 45 °C; with the 20,000 mAh power bank included in the Complete Set, the heating runs for up to 12 hours on low. Since the battery doubles as a power bank, you can charge your phone at the same time. Outdoors, a hoodie doesn't replace a weatherproof jacket: in the rain, wear it under a jacket or reach for a parka.

Who a heated hoodie is for

A heated hoodie is made for anyone who gets chilly quickly when sitting still: at your desk working from home, in the stands, at a fall barbecue or at the campsite. It's lighter than a jacket and fits in your bag when you don't need it. Worn under a winter jacket, it becomes a heated mid-layer and replaces a thick sweater. It also makes a great gift, because the fit is forgiving and the size can be exchanged for free.

Size, fit and care

Hoodies have a relaxed cut. But for the heating zones on the back to warm you properly, the fabric shouldn't sit too far from your body – when in doubt, pick your usual size rather than going oversized. To wash, remove the battery, close the zipper and use a gentle cycle; the heating holds up to 300 washes. You get a 5-year warranty, free size exchanges and 30-day returns.

More warmth: all heated jackets, men's heated jackets, women's heated jackets, heated vests and heated softshell jackets. Popular models: the Velocor hoodie, the unisex zip-up hoodie Olivora and the men's zip-up hoodie Voltor.
