As winter approaches, I'm considering buying some Milwaukee heated gear. I'm particularly interested in people's honest opinions about their heated jackets and hoodies. I'd love to hear both positive and negative experiences to help me make a decision!

If you’re moving up north, I get the struggle; I wish there was a heated clothing line compatible with the M18 Forge! Although there is a way to use the M18 battery with heated gear. I’m a huge fan of heated clothing, especially for winter activities. Just make sure to check the battery placement so it doesn't jab you when you sit down!
You can use an M18 power source; I’ve got a link to it if you’re interested!
I’d recommend getting a heated vest! It’s super effective when paired with a good base layer, and then just a slightly larger jacket on top. Keeping the heated vest close to your body is key, but wearing it directly against your skin can be a bit uncomfortable.
This is exactly what I do as well!
I have an older Milwaukee zip-up hoodie. Just a heads up, the wrist area is pretty tight, but overall I love the hoodie! I actually started using theirs for my regular winter coat. The heated part does a great job, but I’d suggest using a slimmer battery. But, yeah, if you’re thinking about getting one, go for it! Just keep the layers in mind to maximize warmth.
You had me at the beginning!
