Our story

When I started The Heated Vest Store, we were originally selling the Heller heated vest. Over time, I felt there was room for a much better product, so we began developing and manufacturing our own Jackoli™ designs.

The goal from the start was to create heated clothing that worked better in real life. We improved the heating system, upgraded the zippers and materials, and made sure the fit suited proper Australian sizing. We wanted products that people would actually enjoy wearing, not something that only sounded good on paper.

The name Jackoli™ is personal too. It came from our kids, Jack and Ollie, and that has always made the brand feel close to home for us. What started as a family-inspired idea has grown into a business that now helps customers right across Australia.

What matters to us

Practical warmth Heated clothing should be easy to wear, easy to charge and genuinely useful in everyday life.

Proper Australian sizing We wanted a better fit for real customers here, with garments that feel comfortable and work properly for layering.

Fast dispatch We keep things simple with stock in Australia and fast dispatch to customers across the country.

Real service We aim to provide clear advice, straightforward support and the kind of service we would want ourselves.

Who uses our products

One of the best parts of the business has been seeing the range of people our products help. Our customers include mums and dads, campers, motorcyclists, outdoor workers, sports spectators, people managing medical issues and customers purchasing through the NDIS.

Whether it is a cold early-morning start, time outdoors, winter work conditions or simply wanting a bit more comfort, we know these products can make a real difference.

Founder note

I’ve always wanted The Heated Vest Store to feel like a real Australian business run by real people. We’ve built it around practical products, clear advice and straightforward service, and we genuinely appreciate every customer who supports us.

Thanks for visiting and for supporting our business.
