The Milwaukee’s M12 12V Lithium-Ion Heated Hoodie is a game-changer for anyone who works or spends time outdoors in cold weather. This hoodie utilizes carbon fiber heating elements to generate and trap heat across core body areas, providing up to 6 hours of run-time with an M12 REDLITHIUM 2.0 Ah Compact Battery Pack (not included). The adjustable heat technology allows users to adapt to changing conditions by increasing or decreasing the heat level with the touch of a button.
The durable cotton exterior with a waffle weave interior lining not only traps the heat generated from the carbon fiber elements but also drastically improves warmth and comfort when compared to a standard hoodie or mid-layer. The utility pockets are designed to withstand abrasion, making them perfect for work environments. Additionally, the hoodie is washer and dryer safe, adding to its convenience.
One of the standout features of this heated hoodie is its versatility. It’s suitable for a range of activities, from construction work to outdoor hobbies like hunting. Many users have praised its ability to keep them warm and comfortable in various settings, including cold workshops and outdoor environments.
Pros:
- Long-lasting battery life
- Adjustable heat settings
- Durable and comfortable fabric
- Convenient utility pockets
- Washer and dryer safe
Cons:
- May not be suitable for larger individuals
- Additional batteries may be needed for extended use on the highest heat setting
Several users have reported long-term satisfaction with the hoodie, with some owning it for over 5 years and still finding it to be an essential part of their cold-weather gear. However, it’s worth noting that the sizing may be snug for larger individuals, and extended use on the highest heat setting may require extra batteries.
Overall, the Milwaukee’s M12 12V Lithium-Ion Heated Hoodie is a highly recommended investment for anyone seeking reliable warmth and comfort in cold conditions. Its durable construction, long-lasting battery, and adjustable heat settings make it a valuable addition to any outdoor enthusiast or worker’s wardrobe.
