A heated shawl available through Amazon is designed to keep the shoulders and upper body warm while working, reading or relaxing. Its fleece construction gives it the appearance of a conventional wrap, while an integrated heating system adds three adjustable temperature levels.
Unlike a standard electric blanket, the shawl is designed to be worn while carrying out everyday activities. Its front zipper helps keep it in place and allows greater freedom of movement when getting up, reaching for something or changing position.
The USB connection allows the garment to be powered with a compatible external battery, meaning it does not have to be used next to a wall outlet. The power bank is not listed among the product’s included items, however, so users would need a suitable battery separately.
The portable design makes it suitable for different settings, including a home desk, an office, a sofa or travel. The three heat settings can be adjusted according to the temperature, from a lower level when the user feels slightly cold to a higher setting in colder conditions.
Because the shawl contains electrical components, its cleaning instructions should be checked carefully before use. The source advises disconnecting the USB cable and removing any detachable electrical parts where possible, and warns against washing the garment with water if those components cannot be separated.
