From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.January is a particularly chilly time of year, and recent days have seen freezing temperatures, frosty weather and snowfall in some parts of the UK. The best way to tackle the cold is by layering up with a fleece or thermals. Meanwhile, additional winter essentials include hot water bottles, electric blankets and electric heaters.
However, to really beat the chill, heated garments combine two cosy elements – providing an extra layer of clothing and a source of continuous warmth. With this being a month when many of us are counting our pennies, we were pleased to spot a heated gilet deal at Amazon. There’s a decent 20 per cent off this warming layer right now, which equates to a saving of almost £30.
Plus, the discounted item in question is from Ororo – an IndyBest-rated brand, after we reviewed its heated gilets and hand warmers. Keep reading for everything you need to know about this toasty reduction.

This lightweight heated gilet features a quilted design and a carbon fibre heating system, which is operated by pressing a power button. It comes complete with a battery pack, and you’ll be able to enjoy up to 10 hours of heat per charge. Plus, for additional practicality points, the gilet is machine-washable, too. You can choose between black, light grey and dark red colourways, and it’s available in XS to XL.
Our tester reviewed the similar Ororo women’s classic heated vest (£139.99, Amazon.co.uk) and praised its versatility, noting that “you can tailor the heat to your preference”. Depending on the temperature, “we tended to start with the highest heat”, noted our writer. “Once warmed up, we would switch to the medium setting. We also popped our hands in the pockets and felt heat there, too.”
Reading this and feeling the chill? This heated number could be the ideal practical January pick-me-up.
