Cozy and Therapeutic
Heated wearables are a wonderful invention, and essential to battling the chill in the colder months. In fact, the best heated gloves and heated scarves have been proven to alleviate the symptoms of long-term conditions such as arthritis. That’s not to mention their practicality for anyone who loves the great outdoors and sports ranging from skiing to motorcycling. Combine these with a matching heated jacket, heated socks and heated pants – and you never have to be afraid of the harshest of winters ever again!
Heating methods include batteries, a blast in the microwave or even a pouch that when shaken, starts a chemical reaction, warming the surrounding area which, while sounding scary, is actually a bit fun as well as incredibly practical.
With so many variations of heated neck warmers out there, which ones are worth it?
We’ve selected our Top 3 Heated Scarves on sale this year:
1) USB Heated Neck Scarf
Overview
The good news: This handy neck warmer doesn’t need clunky batteries. It’s USB powered so plug it in and you’ll be ready to go.

What We Like
This heated scarf is made with good quality materials so feels luxurious against the skin. It retains the warmth perfectly well and can be used inside and outside, to fight off the cold, and eliminate aches and pains.

Next time a power bank would be a great idea to include, please. However, as these are inexpensive and readily available, this is far from being a deal breaker.
2) SunnyBay Heating Wrap
Overview
This heated scarf from SunnyBay feels soft and beautifully fleecy. It’s well made with decently sized and is great for children and adults. It is basically a scarf and a heating pad.
What We Like
We love how soft and comfortable the fleece material is, ensuring that this scarf not only looks good, but keeps you warm too. The size is suitable for either wrapping around your neck, but also for folding and placing on any other part of your body that benefits from warmth – such as those with back pain or cold extremities.
What Needs Improving
It’s a shame that it only comes in one color – we would love to see this in bright vibrant shades. But other than that, it’s great.
