My wife bought me one last Christmas because I get COLD all the time. The vest has 4 zones IIRC, back, neck and front near each pocket. I wore it for the first time last week. With a touch of the button, he vest goes on high for 5 minutes and then lowers to a medium setting. You can change from high, low, medium with a touch of the button. I left the vest on medium for 4 hours. It kept me warm and there was still battery life left when I got back to the lodge. A full charge takes 6-8 hours so it's best to charge the battery over night between uses. If you test the vest in the house, you will immediately think it's too hot, but that didn't translate to outdoor use.
I was impressed with the vest warmth and the ease of use.

My wife uses a Milwaukee vest. I personally have never used any of them but she gets cold easy. She loves that thing. We bough an extra battery pack, when we do an all day sit, somewhere around early afternoon (2-3) she swaps the battery out to get the last few hours in. It goes 3 different levels on heat. I think she leaves it on about 2 most of the time and it works much better if you put a windbreaker type of jacket over it, then your outer layer over that.
