Venustas Venustas-7500 12V Women's Heated Softshell Jacket, 5 Zones
Product description
Five heating zones bring warmth to the hands, collar, back and waist, with three settings to adjust the heat for changing outdoor conditions. The Venustas-7500 is a 12V women's softshell jacket supplied with a battery and detachable hood. Its water-resistant, windproof shell suits active days outside and everyday commutes.
Quick overview
This jacket offers a built-in heating system rather than relying on an unheated outer layer alone. Choose from high, medium or low settings, with temperatures listed as 144°F, 130°F and 112°F. The five zones cover the left and right pockets, collar, back and waist, placing heat across several areas while you ski, cycle, fish or travel.
The shell is made from 100% polyester, and the lining combines 95% polyester with 5% silver Mylar thermal fabric. The outer fabric is described as abrasion-resistant, water-resistant and windproof. A detachable hood lets you adapt the jacket to your outing, while the included 5000mAh/10.8V/54Wh battery powers the heating system. Customers often praise the warmth and heating, and report positive impressions of fit and appearance, opinions on battery life are mixed.
Usage tips
Choose a heat setting to suit the activity and conditions: the listed runtimes are up to 3 hours on high, 6 hours on medium and 10 hours on low. These settings make it possible to prioritize stronger heat for a shorter outing or a longer listed runtime on low. For a winter commute, for instance, the heated pockets, collar, back and waist offer targeted warmth while the windproof shell adds a layer of coverage.
For skiing, cycling or outdoor work, the softshell format provides a practical alternative to depending on a separate heated layer beneath an outer jacket. The detachable hood also gives you a way to adjust the setup to the day’s activity.
Practical tips
The battery is listed as rechargeable with a 2-hour fast-charge time. Charging it before heading out helps prepare the jacket’s heating function for the planned activity. The battery measures 4.41 × 2.85 × 1.02 in and weighs 10.4 oz, useful details when considering the power unit as part of your clothing setup.
Use the three heat levels as a simple way to match warmth and runtime to your plans. Low is listed for up to 10 hours, medium for up to 6, and high for up to 3. The jacket is suited to activities ranging from alpine exploration and mountaineering to fishing, travel and city commuting, so its combination of adjustable heat and a water-resistant, windproof shell serves both outdoor pursuits and regular wear.
