Easier to wear than the full jacket I have. It was a great price as it was battery-free but I share the jacket one. I desperately wanted a neck-heating garment for the office. Though you do well to have something in between your neck and jacket as it gets HOT !! I much prefer the relocation of the battery pocket as well cos' the jacket one more round the front digs into my belly once I'm driving and this one has been relocated further round the back so that was a great idea. Very pleased with it indeed. May grab another for next year as well so this one can stay in the office.
