Similar experience. With mine, turning on went to high setting, but automatically changed to lower setting after a few minutes. Probably a power saving feature. The workaround is to cycle through the 3 settings when you first turn it on, back to high power, and it will stay there.

I am looking to get a heated vest for my husband who works in an unheated workshop to keep the chill off. He often comes home straight in the bath as he is chilled to the core. I am interested to hear your thoughts on the longevity of this type of vest now that it has been nearly 2 yrs since you wrote this article. thanks again and look forward to your update.
