I bought a Solana gear heated vest…
I bought a Solana gear heated vest although the heat worked and I enjoyed the vest I wore five times and the zip broke. I was told I was out of warranty and I should go get it fixed by somebody else. I do not recommend buying this vest at all it’s cheaply made, and there are so many that I’m much better than this look for the best heated vest on the market and Solana won’t be listed stay away from this cheap piece.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience, especially since you were enjoying the heating performance of the vest before the zipper issue occurred. We understand how frustrating it must have been for the zipper to fail after only a few uses.
We also regret that the outcome of your warranty request left you feeling disappointed. While our warranty policy has specific timeframes, we never want our customers to feel that their concerns are dismissed. Your comments about the product quality and your overall experience are important to us, and we’ll be sure to share them with our team for review.
We would appreciate the opportunity to take another look at your case. Please reach out to us directly at support@solanagear.com or +1 (888) 306-7516, and our team will be happy to review your situation and see if there’s anything further we can do to assist.

Don’t Expect Support if Your Vest Is Defective
Received this heated vest as a Christmas gift and it never worked properly from day one. I contacted customer service hoping they would stand behind their product, but instead I was sent through endless troubleshooting, and repeatedly told to try different things even though the vest had never functioned correctly in the first place.
After all of that, they ultimately told me there was nothing they could do because it had been more than 30 days since purchase. Extremely disappointing customer service. If a product arrives defective, customers should not be brushed off over a timeline, especially after being dragged through a lengthy support process.

I normally wear a 2XL with power module.....
I normally wear a 2XL so I ordered a 2XL vest. Too small. And the zipper is on the wrong side for a man's vest. I had to pay to return ship it.... since I ordered the vest & power module, I returned the whole thing. WRONG. Solana sent me the next size up and with NO power module. Now they want to charge me shipping to get another power module. POOR. Customer service was helpful but now not much. Bottom LINE : order from a good company with a good product. This is Neither....

DO NOT BUY FROM SOLANA GEAR
After dealing with this for nearly four months, it just keeps getting worse. I’ve attached the response they gave, that sounded so positive, as if they were finally going to take care of me. They say one thing in public but when I called it was the same dead end as before. Even though they admit it was their error, and they sent the wrong batteries, they don’t agree that they should take a return. It would be so easy for them to accommodate a customer. No chance to ever talk to anybody in management. They should be more proactive and call me and fix this.

On 2/27/26 I purchase 2 heated vest
On 2/27/26 I purchase 2 heated vest. upon getting them the cord was not working. I called them back up and requested a return on both. I was give the address to send back. Oh, the expense of returning them was on me. I was never told to contact them back and give the tracking number. Once in seen it was received I let it be. I dont even know where I left it.
So its been weeks now and no refund. So I called them today. I was told I have to provide the track # otherwise no refund. because if you dont call them with it of which I never was told you just wont be refunded. so they will take away over $160.00 dollars from me. I ask the representative what can be done. he just continued to say I need to tracking # I send out. He said there's no way they can re-fund unless I have that tracking #. They are not notified or when they get the return. Nor do they added it to the account of purchase. Just horrible they have a very poor system of tracking returns . So bottom line if your returning dont forget to save and call them back up with tracking # what a poor system it's just a way they keep your money. I will never shop there again! they are stealing from folks horribly!!! do not shop with them the quality was poor for that reason I returned it!!!

Although I waited forever for my refund one call to Jermaine and he resolved my issue and processed my refund while we were on the phone! This was after waiting more than two months (which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars). He was terrific, looking up information i didn’t have with me which was a big help and he was very pleasant all the while he was helping me. He gets 5 stars ⭐️!

Unisex product. Ask for actual measurements.
I purchased a medium heated vest. It arrived quickly and on-time for my immediate need but didn’t fit. Customer service gave me options: Return at my cost, accept a discount to keep the product or exchange for a smaller size. Jermaine sent me the actual sizing chart (chest, shoulders, length) which revealed very odd actual measurements relative to the general size description. The chest in the extra small is 39” which is generally classified as a men’s medium.
The battery is too bulky for my purpose.

Only lasted 8 weeks
First, they sent the wrong size. I finally received the correct size, no shipping fee. The vest only lasted 8 weeks. The battery works but the vest won't turn on anymore. I took very good care of it. Customer service told me that they cannot replace it because it was past the 30 day warranty. So, they made a product to last only 30 days. That's terrible.

Absolutely the worst customer service I…
Absolutely the worst customer service I have experienced. I received the heated vest as a gift literally used it 2 times when it stopped working during the second time. Battery was fully charged and would not power. The vest was never abused and never washed. After contacting customer service was told to send a video with the invoice and they would review it. Finally after a month I contacted them back and was told it was out of the return status by a couple of months. The product failed and would only be used in cold weather so it is a built in scam. I highly do not recommend this company nor products as I am sure there are more reputable companies out there. R

If you have to return a product, even when they erred, you are stuck with the mailing cost.
I wish I had gone to Trust Pilot first for reviews on this company before I ordered. My philosphy about ordering from companies online is, the company/product are only as good as its worst review. In this case, I am giving the company and product the worst review I can.
I needed new winter gloves that would stand up to the Vermont winter cold. I found where this company was selling "thermal" gloves and put through an order. When I received the gloves, I couldn't believe how insubstantial they were. Also, I ordered XL gloves as I have a large hand. Not only were they insubstantial, they definitely were not XL gloves. They only came up to the heel of my hand. I contacted the company right away and also attached a picture showing that they were not XL-sized. I got the usual boilerplate apologies.
They offered me a 30% refund as long as I kept the gloves. When I said no, I want a full refund, they offered a 50% refund. As the gloves were absolutely no use to me, I requested the full refund.
I eventually received the refund but, of course, I was out the cost of shipping, even though they sent me the wrong size. If they won't make you whole, even though they made the mistake, they aren't worthy of any further business.

Solana vest suck
I bought three vest from them for Christmas. All three vest the zippers failed. I contacted the company and they told me there was nothing they could do because it was outside the 30 days . Well I bought these for Christmas gifts. I told him that I bought them for Christmas gifts. I didn’t think there was a problem getting a refund or a replacement I didn’t realize you only had 30 days. I explained to them the only reason I bought their vest was cause it was the only ones left at Christmas time. All the QUALITY heated vest were already sold out. So I turned around and bought vest to replace these from another company they offer one year warranty

Poor quality
Poor quality. I did get them to replace the batteries that would not hold a charge. They sent me a replacement vest since the one I purchased ended up getting a burn mark from the heating element. I messaged again because now the zipper broke and they told me I was outside of the 30 day warranty. I explained to them that this was the replacement vest that broke and they said too bad you are outside of the 30 day warranty. I would suggest you save your money and find a company that warrants their products longer than 30 days. I missed the warranty period in the fine print apparently.
