I live in Minnesota, so you got a Thumbs Up and Sub, not only because it was a good review, but for standing OUTSIDE in 20 degree temps with wind just to do the review. That's commitment.
My name is Tom. I'm from West Virginia. I don't know about the jacket But I have a Milwaukee Hoody I've had 3 years, I've got 3-batteries.everything still works and it's been washed several times. Getting another for Christmas I give it a thumbs Up.
I have owned my Milwaukee jacket for just about 2 years now and I absolutely love it I have the soft heated jacket and I absolutely love it nowhere and tear really seen after being used pretty consistently and I am out in the weather conditions almost everyday. I bought myself a DeWalt jacket while I was on sale. It seems to be definitely a lighter jacket but is also a very good windbreaker when the heating elements are not on. I bought the one that had the heated arms which is the only thing that really pushed me to buy it to see if there was a huge difference between the DeWalt and the Milwaukee. I'm a big fan of both you can't lose with either of these
I bought the Milwaukee black jacket last fall And I have used it now for About a year and I absolutely love it. It is extremely durable I have machine washed it probably 50 to 60 times it comes clean very easily it still looks really nice even though I have worked in it every day. Even at $200 it was an amazing by and would definitely do it again
I have a total of 3 DeWalt heated jackets one is a ladies one for my wife very stylish and never had to use the heat setting in it she says it's plenty warm enough I have the high visible one that's also rainproof it's a two piece and I also have the high visible orange camo hunting one never had a problem with any of them had them for over 4 years all three of them works fine been washed and dried in the dryer on low setting love them
Sold! I wish I would’ve found your video 2.5 hours ago when searching many sites I got frustrated…YOU got right to the point and literally answered every question I had. I personally like the DeWalt jacket better because I’m using mostly on my motorcycle and you said it’s lighter has more mobility and I’d really never use the heated pockets, but if I had to work outside in the freezing snow and sleet I’d pick the Milwaukee jacket because it’s thicker and I’d use the heated pockets more. Thank you for taking the time to do this and getting right to the point.
well thats gonna be a late christmas present for me! i gotta go with the dewalt ive got all dewalt tools, love them never owned milwaukee so cant say obviously dewalt and milwaukee are the leading two power tool brands and know they will hold up love the videos brian keep it up
I've owned the dewalt for 3 years trouble free. I have no need for heated pockets, I would get fired if I stood around with my hands in my pockets all day!
Home Depot just had an incredible sale. Milwaukee jacket kit with an extra 2.0 battery, $150 plus tax, free shipping. Jacket two 2.0 batteries plus charger. Could be warmer, but anything helps.
I'm also in lawn maintenance and use the Milwaukee (same model as yours, just black). I would agree that because the jacket itself is thicker, the heating gets "blocked" a bit. If you don't layer up too much underneath, then it's still quite warm. I wished it were a bit warmer. I really wanted the red or gray, but it didn't match our work uniforms and since it's primarily for work, I had to go black. I love the comments about "why does your jacket have a light on it?".
They need to make more accessories for these jackets. I am a motorcycle rider and I have been looking at motorcycle heated gear . The many different brands have jacket liners with gloves , pants , and sock connections already on the jackets . You can opt for any combo you want each interconnected with a separate temp. control . I would love to see both tool makers to expand their lines with full gear options. With their battery technology I know many contractor /construction /landscaping / hunters /motorcycle (every) guys would immediately pick their power tool brand over anything else.
I couldn't agree more with you. I'm also a motorcycle rider looking at this stuff and couldn't be more excited for the possibilities, particularly being warm OFF of the motorcycle. It's absolutely insane that they don't start utilizing this across other brands outside of power tools. Ride safely!
There are many companies out there that make heated jackets. If memory serves me correctly, that’s where Milwaukee Tools got the idea. Anyhow, many heated jackets that serve the motorcycle world. They just aren’t as versatile as a tool company where you can use batteries for multiple things
I 've had the Milwaukee heated jacket for 4 years. Rarely even use the heat to be honest. It fits in a way that traps in body heat. Allowed me to retire my Tough Duck winter parka!
Hey!! Just a shout out for all the WOMEN out there - I received the women's Dewalt heated jacket as a present this past Christmas - It is awesome.. the styling is a bit different than the men's, it is more form fitting and stylish, and IT DOES COME WITH A HOOD (removable). It is nice as you said, because it is thinner and keeps the heating elements closer to you. I am investing the another battery as it runs out fairly quickly when on the high setting. It also has the phone charging option as well as the ability to store the battery on the interior as well as the exterior. I'm still learning all of the options, but I've found it to be very comfortable! Overall, this is an excellent jacket, great styling and I've receive compliments whenever I've worn it! Just thought you should have info on the ladies option! Thanks for the blog!
Hey Heidi. What model number did you get? I'm looking at one for my wife. Also considering a vest verses a jacket as it/they will be worn under another jacket. Thanks for your input!
Got the Milwaukee heated hoodie and their Jacket.. OMG they are bad*** ! ! ! Get the Milwaukee... heated hands, battery location is perfect and I'm in and out of 30+ cars a day inspecting. The battery can charge your phone too and works with tools. Win Win ! ! !
Have had a Milwaukee heated sweatshirt for 3 years now. Heats very well, only wear and tear has been at the hands of sheet metal, as is normal for me. A little needle&thread action, and it keeps on going. Chose the sweatshirt over a jacket so that I can layer it under another coat for work, hunting, motorcycle, or whatever else I need.
I am a dewalt fanboy with 5 dewalt batteries but I will be getting the Milwaukee jacket and buy more batteries for it because it looks cool and I like compliments.
Just picked up the jacket came with a 3.0 ah battery. Also both a milwaukee drill came with two 1.5 batteries. Do you think those will work with my milwaukee heated jacket or do I need to buy a 2.0 or another 3.0?
I love my dewalt jacket. I have a 20v max 5 ah battery. Can run on high for two work days before having to recharge. Only thing that bums me is the lack of heated pockets. As a side note, I snowboard and this jac let with the 5 ah battery has kept me warm in -10 degree weather. What would be awesome is a heated beanie and or gloves that can link into the jackets power source. That's my dream.
I use a Milwaukee at work. Use a 4ah battery and managed all day wear on the medium setting. Going to get a 6ah battery. Just washed it for the first time and seems to be fine. Always alittle unnerving washing something electric. I combine that with Milwaukee's bib overalls which are lighter than carhartts.
My thoughts as I own 2 Milwaukee jackets + the little lady has her own jacket & hoodie. Additionally I own a DeWalt jacket & she has the DeWalt Hoodie. I can't comment on the life in the DeWalt batteries as I do NOT use them. Yes I have the DeWalt batteries, but I found that the battery would disconnect from it's base too easily, when working, & thus, the heat would turn off. As it happens the Milwaukee battery holder attaches perfectly to the DeWalt power cord Battery life; on High 2 hrs is the max life, Med will give me a little over 3 hrs & a full 6 hrs on the low power setting. The Fall of 2019, I picked up some M12 XC 3.0 batteries. On high power I can get 6 hrs of heat & haven't bothered to see what the life span is on Med or Low level heat settings. The Larger XC 3.0 battery can be a PITA, when you are wearing the jacket in a vehicle, as you will need to position it, so it doesn't "dig into your back/left side. I have never used the heated pockets as I use my jacket as part of a layering system, with the jacket typically inside an insulated wood shirt/jacket. In my experience, the Dewalt jacket produces more heat & will typically drain the M12 batteries at a faster rate, than in the Milwaukee jackets. I am not a fan of "hoodies" in general, but the little lady loves them & never wears her Milwaukee jacket. Since we just purchased her Milwaukee hoodie, I can't say if she prefers one over the other I originally purchased her Milwaukee jacket 1st, for use when she was a passenger on my motorcycle, in the early or late parts of our season, when it's a bit chilly. I had a 12v hard wired jacket, but the alternator on the motorcycle didn't have enough output for both of us to wear a heated jacket & the Milwaukee performed the task perfectly
Ok, so if any of the Milwaukee or Dewalt guys see this comment, you need to make these jackets accept a skull cap warmer as an accessory so it will plug into the jacket collar somewhere. Something like the Under Armour Heat Gear with warmer strips that plug into the jacket for us guys that like winter fishing, that would be an awesome accessory to the jacket!
I bought the Milwaukee this year, I love it. Bought a second battery too, on High it lasts about 3 hours medium about five hours, on low it will last all day.
Love my Milwaukee, like this video says it's a warm jacket before even adding the electric heat. I do wish it had a heating element on the back neck like my Ororo vest, with the pocket warmer that would make it a perfect heated coat.
I have the Milwaukee jacket and hoodie, both are great, but I agree about the hood. My wife and 5 year old son saw a heated Craftsman jacket with a removable hood and got it for me for Christmas. It turns out its compatible with the Milwaukee battery and adapter. Go take a look. it's a much warmer jacket, and the pockets are always on with the jacket. It will be great for really cold days, but it's much heavier than the Milwaukee jacket, so I don't think I'll need the heat on very high. My personal preference up to this point has been the hoodie with a warm jacket that I don't mind getting dirty, but then you don't get the pockets. This Craftsman jacket may be the best of both worlds!
I work outside for 11 hours a day doing sewer cctv work. My jacket ion high last an hour and a half to 2 hours max then I have a second battery with me and leave the Dea done in the truck to charge. It's very durable and pretty thick so it does keep me warm. The thing I found is that it gives u a slow paulse of heat it spikes then cools the spikes again so I find wearing a sweater under it works well
Dewalt 20v work style safety yellow I was working construction and needed safe and warm, this fit the bill for me I have lg an xl depending upon weather.
I use the Snap-On jacket and hoodie. Also has heated pockets. And the batteries are pretty small. About the size of a cell phone, but about an inch thick. And u are able to have a battery in both side pockets, since the power cable runs thru and piggy backs to both pockets. It's $280 and comes with 1 battery and a detachable hood.
First let me say that the video was well done and straight to the point. If I have to listen to five minutes of rambling and your favorite music, then you've already lost me. None of that here, and I really appreciate that. You gave us the information in a straightforward way. Thank you. I have the Dewalt jacket, and my decision was based entirely on the fact that I have Dewalt cordless tools, and lots of batteries that can be dual purposed to the jacket. The Milwaukee looks good as well. I'd say it's a toss up. Stay away from the cheap knock offs as much as possible.
I have 2 of these Milwaukee jackets. One black (1yr old) and one red (3yrs old). The jackets are actually warm without the heat on. The heating element is nice when it hits single digits outside though.
I have a Milwaukee heated hoodie and heated toughshell. Love them both! It needs to be a tight fit and dont wear too much clothes underneath or the heat won't make it to you. Outstanding product overall in my opinion.
Go up to the Milwaukee 3in1. The liner/ sweater has the heaters in it and the outer layer is just a real nice strong coat. The battrry pocket in the side is big enough you can fit an m18 with power source and your run time will triple.
Forgot to add the dewalt battery can move from your back to your side. Really helpful if you're driving a truck or car for work but still work outside because you got a lump of a battery in your back if your wearing the Milwaukee hoodie and you can't switch it from what I heard. That being said, I went dewalt just because that's what my friend uses in his garage when I work outside, I got a free charger from dewalt. Although the warm hand option is cool, I'll stick to wearing gloves, and worse case scenario buying some "hand warmers" for a couple bucks. I also like the more mobility of dewalt jacket. I imagine you can put a pea coat on top of it if you have to. Also with the dewalt jacket you can use any size dewalt battery that's 20v. But I heard you can't do that with Milwaukee
I have a m12 hoodie that I’ve had for 5 years still works just old Now I have the new tough shell jacket to put over the hoodie Milwaukee is where it’s st 💯
Milwaukee sent me out one of their non heated NO DAYS OFF hooded sweatshirts and it is very nice and very warm and comfortable and I really like it, to buy one it's $70 so a lot cheaper than a heated one. I have never used a heated one but I am not one to get particularly cold easily so I guess my question is do you think the heated jackets are worth 2 to 4 times as much as the regular none heated Milwaukee NO DAYS OFF hooded sweatshirt? I am kind of assuming it all depends on where you live and work, I live in Utah and it gets cold here but not unbearably cold so I have always gotten by fine with hoodies and this Milwaukee NO DAYS OFF hoodie just takes it to the next level for me and is much warmer than any of my other hoodies and it has no problem keeping me plenty warm, of course the temperature here usually never drops below 20 degrees in the winter.
I have had the Dewalt for one year. Dewalt refused to warranty it and told me they don't care. The little teeth on either side of the zipper tracks are popping off in numbers. I am a homeowner who hand washes and takes care of my jacket. This jacket is cheaply made and there is no way it will last in the field when it fails after light use in the hands of a homeowner!! I am rethinking owning so many Dewalt tools when they didn't take care of me as a customer for this ridiculousness!!
Thanks for this video! I'm in Florida and trying to find something for an overly-air conditioned office and the tip about the pockets is definitely one to add to the Pro column.
I have the dewalt jacket going on 4 years now. Love it! I purchased a larger 20v max mb200 battery and it lasts much longer than the battery it came with. I haven't run this battery out in a night yet. I typically run my jacket on med-low. High is just too hot for me. The jacket has been washed several times and still works perfect. Mine has the zipper pockets. These work perfect for me since I keep things in my pockets and don't want to have to worry about loosing things while I work, keys, phone, gloves, etc. it also has a USB to charge with options of running the cord to a few different pockets.If you have to be out in the cold weather I highly recommend this jacket. My wife even has one and loves it as well.
Great video. I don’t usually like red, but that jacket color looks cool. I wanna buy my dad one for Christmas and am maybe thinking the red instead of black and I might want one now to, I’m hearing you can get different battery upgrades? No wonder why you were talking so fast, It was 20 degrees lol. But yeah if you would of put that Milwaukee jacket on you would of been toasty
Great video! Excellent content. Thanks for posting. I live in Wisconsin and I have a new Milwaukee heated coat. It replaces my first gen Milwaukee coat. I had that one for 5 years finally the seams in the back tore open. I loved the first one. Don't much like the new one. It is not warm. I have to wear more layers over it. Probably going to try the Dewalt next time...
Milwaukee heated Axis Jacket is by far the goat, thick outer skin while still lighter than a normal Carhartt. If looks could kill the probably will! Phenomenal!
Seth Older the axis doesn’t have the heated pockets though, correct? That’s really what I’m looking for, I’m and outside electrician, 10 hour work day, handling cold conduit freezes my hands fast, it would be nice to have the option of warm pockets , even if it’s only a couple minutes at a time.
Milwaukee made 2, I got the first one just because it has a hood but I like all of the features on the 2nd one, if they made the 2nd one with a hood I would definitely get it.
Literally just got the axis hooded M12 jacket kit today at Rural farm.... currently waiting for the battery to charge up, which must have been completely dead because it's taking forever.... does the light on the charger turn green when it's charged?
the one downside I keep hearing about milwakee heated sweater from 3 years ago is the battery placement is terrible when you're wearing a tool pouch. i don't know if they moved it away from your kidney or not. I have all Milwaukee power tools and this complaint is the only thing thats kept me from getting a Milwaukee heated jacket.
Waiting for it 2 go on sale for $99.99 does every year, only heard good thing on the milwaukee sweater.. plus I already invested in some m18 tools love milwaukee !!!
Where?? According to the actual website the product is no longer available. I’m really wanting to get this for my boyfriend for work. Any tips on where to buy this type of stuff would be appreciated (:
Milwaukee for 2 years and still working good. I carry 3 battery's in truck and never let down. I ask you about wearing the heated hoodie and jacket at same time how warm are both together?
I’ve got the original Milwaukee heated jacket Love it some and heating elements are going out sadly but still my favorite jacket to wear might buy the hoodie to go with it under it at least.
What kinda fabric is the outside of the dewalt jacket made out of? My boyfriend is a welder and only wears 100% cotton, I’m struggling with finding a heated cotton jacket for him!
check out 8k flex warm designed in the uk has a phone app that you can connect too to use the heat setting and the battery pack is 7200 mah and the battery bank is tiny i think 180 grams best jacket on the market check the out 8kflexwarm.com/
Your killing me I just bought the Milwaukee hoodie based on your review- I have watched a few videos on the jacket also but I wasn’t convinced- but after watching your review I purchased that also - you went over everything-- Thanks
Milwaukee all the way, I was personally disgusted with dewalt when the came out with the flexvolt line after I already had deeply invested in the 20v platform. I sold that crap and am now very heavily invested in milwaukee. p.s. the M18 miter saw is a beast
I'm on the fence on that too lol fucking DeWalt gave them all my money then they like give us more money fornew batteries n tools.. ugh I like what Makita is doing with dual batteries
Boy! People will bitch about anything. Why would you want a mitre saw or table saw that works off 20v batteries? Buy the new tools. It’s not like they offered them in their 20v line and BONUS, you can use the 60v in your existing 20v tools.
I Bought heated rechargeable gloves and they are the best piece of clothing I have purchased. The brand is called Volt they are not cheap but they are worth the money, if you are outdoors often in cold weather then you will definitely like them.
I have Ravean heated jackets. Loved the 1.0 version. Really love the new 2.0. Heated jacket, heated pockets or gloves, heated hood. Both were Kickstarter. I’ll buy a second set of 2.0 gloves as soon as they’re available. Heating elements down each finger.
I’ve got the M12 hoodie. It was cheaper and probably a little better to layer over the top of it and keep the heat in. But if that dewalt is 20v, it’s gonna be a better platform for my backpack tools and impact. Always a dilemma with these two.
I just got one from my wife for Christmas the only thing I don't like about it, it doesn't have a hood it also could use a head phone jack or blue tooth just because I have my head phones in all day at work
Any recommendations if I wanna use one for hunting in north Wisconsin? I'm thinking the milwaukee, but not sure. Would also be used for much more than just hunting, which is why I'm thinking one of these would be better than dedicated hunting jackets.
If your going deer hunting, Milwaukee makes a camo hunting heated jacket that isn’t tough shell because it makes noise when you move when the fabric rubs together. Their hunting heated jacket gets rid of the noise it makes while moving so you don’t have to worry about whatever animal you’re hunting hearing you move around
If you Had the Choice Between the Milwaukee Jacket or they're Hoodie which one would you Suggest. I'm from Maine where in the a Winter the Average temp in the Winter is anywhere from 20°-30°, I'm looking to have one for Working, Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling.
WeaselBurp Outdoors That's a hard answer.. it just depends. As a "winter coat", go with the thicker Milwaukee jacket like I have here. For spring / fall you can get away with the hoodie just fine. Anything less than 40 degrees I would say it's jacket time.
I got the Milwaukee jacket this year . I thought I’d feel the heat - kind of like a heating pad , that is not the case . I’m disappointed overall . I never really feel it . Using 2.0 battery btw
i wear ororo hoodie which is nice cus u can layer another jacket (wind proof) on top. the ororo only covers me upper body chest and the upper back and how much i get battery life 4 hrs on high mode only.
$200-$250 for the jackets, thanks but a couple of $12 sweat shirts layerd do the job for a lot less, put your extra money into getting a new truck, what year is that?
@@winstonsmeenk Brian said he was using the jackets in the spring and fall for leaf clean up, not sure where the working overhead came from. I understand that certain jobs require special gear but my comment pertains to yard work. Be safe overhead.
Ahh i thought you meant a waste to ppl buying them in general. I was wearing layers yesterday at work and was stuggling with mobilty... thanks will do! & hey nothing wrong with those trucks if you dont mind replacing the alternator 3 times a year 😂

Battery life; on High 2 hrs is the max life, Med will give me a little over 3 hrs & a full 6 hrs on the low power setting. The Fall of 2019, I picked up some M12 XC 3.0 batteries. On high power I can get 6 hrs of heat & haven't bothered to see what the life span is on Med or Low level heat settings. The Larger XC 3.0 battery can be a PITA, when you are wearing the jacket in a vehicle, as you will need to position it, so it doesn't "dig into your back/left side.
I have never used the heated pockets as I use my jacket as part of a layering system, with the jacket typically inside an insulated wood shirt/jacket.
In my experience, the Dewalt jacket produces more heat & will typically drain the M12 batteries at a faster rate, than in the Milwaukee jackets. I am not a fan of "hoodies" in general, but the little lady loves them & never wears her Milwaukee jacket. Since we just purchased her Milwaukee hoodie, I can't say if she prefers one over the other
I originally purchased her Milwaukee jacket 1st, for use when she was a passenger on my motorcycle, in the early or late parts of our season, when it's a bit chilly. I had a 12v hard wired jacket, but the alternator on the motorcycle didn't have enough output for both of us to wear a heated jacket & the Milwaukee performed the task perfectly
I just picked up the Dewalt jacket and vest kit at Lowe’s.$96 for both.$49, jacket/$47, vest.75% off clearance
Ok, so if any of the Milwaukee or Dewalt guys see this comment, you need to make these jackets accept a skull cap warmer as an accessory so it will plug into the jacket collar somewhere. Something like the Under Armour Heat Gear with warmer strips that plug into the jacket for us guys that like winter fishing, that would be an awesome accessory to the jacket!
I agree!
Thank You! Made My Christmas Shopping a bit Easier
I bought the Milwaukee this year, I love it. Bought a second battery too, on High it lasts about 3 hours medium about five hours, on low it will last all day.
That’s awesome!
Milwaukee is what I used So far this winter in the cold wind turbines in Iowa (New Construction) and I'm glad I got it
Been using the Milwaukee hoodie for 5 years now
Love my Milwaukee, like this video says it's a warm jacket before even adding the electric heat. I do wish it had a heating element on the back neck like my Ororo vest, with the pocket warmer that would make it a perfect heated coat.
I have the Milwaukee jacket and hoodie, both are great, but I agree about the hood. My wife and 5 year old son saw a heated Craftsman jacket with a removable hood and got it for me for Christmas. It turns out its compatible with the Milwaukee battery and adapter. Go take a look. it's a much warmer jacket, and the pockets are always on with the jacket. It will be great for really cold days, but it's much heavier than the Milwaukee jacket, so I don't think I'll need the heat on very high. My personal preference up to this point has been the hoodie with a warm jacket that I don't mind getting dirty, but then you don't get the pockets. This Craftsman jacket may be the best of both worlds!
+Wild Goose Good to know! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check that out.
How can you make a review and not show us how the damn things look on?
I just showed you how.
Yes... you should have had one on. You wouldn't have been cold... 🙂
I think he means "put them on a model."
How many heating elements in each jacket and where are they located?
Right
I work outside for 11 hours a day doing sewer cctv work. My jacket ion high last an hour and a half to 2 hours max then I have a second battery with me and leave the Dea done in the truck to charge. It's very durable and pretty thick so it does keep me warm. The thing I found is that it gives u a slow paulse of heat it spikes then cools the spikes again so I find wearing a sweater under it works well
Dewalt 20v work style safety yellow
I was working construction and needed safe and warm, this fit the bill for me I have lg an xl depending upon weather.
I use the Snap-On jacket and hoodie. Also has heated pockets. And the batteries are pretty small. About the size of a cell phone, but about an inch thick. And u are able to have a battery in both side pockets, since the power cable runs thru and piggy backs to both pockets. It's $280 and comes with 1 battery and a detachable hood.
First let me say that the video was well done and straight to the point. If I have to listen to five minutes of rambling and your favorite music, then you've already lost me. None of that here, and I really appreciate that. You gave us the information in a straightforward way. Thank you. I have the Dewalt jacket, and my decision was based entirely on the fact that I have Dewalt cordless tools, and lots of batteries that can be dual purposed to the jacket. The Milwaukee looks good as well. I'd say it's a toss up. Stay away from the cheap knock offs as much as possible.
I have 2 of these Milwaukee jackets. One black (1yr old) and one red (3yrs old). The jackets are actually warm without the heat on. The heating element is nice when it hits single digits outside though.
I have a Milwaukee heated hoodie and heated toughshell. Love them both! It needs to be a tight fit and dont wear too much clothes underneath or the heat won't make it to you. Outstanding product overall in my opinion.
Go up to the Milwaukee 3in1.
The liner/ sweater has the heaters in it and the outer layer is just a real nice strong coat.
The battrry pocket in the side is big enough you can fit an m18 with power source and your run time will triple.
Tuned in and saw that 10th gen f150 in the background. Good pick 👍🏻
Forgot to add the dewalt battery can move from your back to your side. Really helpful if you're driving a truck or car for work but still work outside because you got a lump of a battery in your back if your wearing the Milwaukee hoodie and you can't switch it from what I heard. That being said, I went dewalt just because that's what my friend uses in his garage when I work outside, I got a free charger from dewalt. Although the warm hand option is cool, I'll stick to wearing gloves, and worse case scenario buying some "hand warmers" for a couple bucks. I also like the more mobility of dewalt jacket. I imagine you can put a pea coat on top of it if you have to. Also with the dewalt jacket you can use any size dewalt battery that's 20v. But I heard you can't do that with Milwaukee
Plugin on the sleeves for gloves would be great when your out in the cold and wind.
I'd like a low back heating element in the Milwaukee as I have a bad back and the heat would be a nice touch..
Mine lasts about 4 hours on high. But not very warm. I agree with you on style.
I have a m12 hoodie that I’ve had for 5 years still works just old
Now I have the new tough shell jacket to put over the hoodie Milwaukee is where it’s st 💯
Milwaukee sent me out one of their non heated NO DAYS OFF hooded sweatshirts and it is very nice and very warm and comfortable and I really like it, to buy one it's $70 so a lot cheaper than a heated one. I have never used a heated one but I am not one to get particularly cold easily so I guess my question is do you think the heated jackets are worth 2 to 4 times as much as the regular none heated Milwaukee NO DAYS OFF hooded sweatshirt? I am kind of assuming it all depends on where you live and work, I live in Utah and it gets cold here but not unbearably cold so I have always gotten by fine with hoodies and this Milwaukee NO DAYS OFF hoodie just takes it to the next level for me and is much warmer than any of my other hoodies and it has no problem keeping me plenty warm, of course the temperature here usually never drops below 20 degrees in the winter.
I have had the Dewalt for one year. Dewalt refused to warranty it and told me they don't care. The little teeth on either side of the zipper tracks are popping off in numbers. I am a homeowner who hand washes and takes care of my jacket. This jacket is cheaply made and there is no way it will last in the field when it fails after light use in the hands of a homeowner!! I am rethinking owning so many Dewalt tools when they didn't take care of me as a customer for this ridiculousness!!
I use a dewalt hoodie for delivering news papers at night.
Is it worth it? And does it actually get warm?
Got the Dewalt JO76 with the hood... 3 temperature settings and 5 heat zones... Only had it a couple days but love it so far... Thanks Boss...
Thanks for this video! I'm in Florida and trying to find something for an overly-air conditioned office and the tip about the pockets is definitely one to add to the Pro column.
Hahahahahaha
Not to sure about the dewalt but Milwaukee can take 18 volt batteries and it’s even warmer.
Love my Milwaukee tools and coat
Just got this jacket thanks for the info,
I have the dewalt jacket going on 4 years now. Love it! I purchased a larger 20v max mb200 battery and it lasts much longer than the battery it came with. I haven't run this battery out in a night yet. I typically run my jacket on med-low. High is just too hot for me. The jacket has been washed several times and still works perfect. Mine has the zipper pockets. These work perfect for me since I keep things in my pockets and don't want to have to worry about loosing things while I work, keys, phone, gloves, etc. it also has a USB to charge with options of running the cord to a few different pockets.If you have to be out in the cold weather I highly recommend this jacket. My wife even has one and loves it as well.
Great video. I don’t usually like red, but that jacket color looks cool. I wanna buy my dad one for Christmas and am maybe thinking the red instead of black and I might want one now to, I’m hearing you can get different battery upgrades? No wonder why you were talking so fast, It was 20 degrees lol. But yeah if you would of put that Milwaukee jacket on you would of been toasty
Great video! Excellent content. Thanks for posting. I live in Wisconsin and I have a new Milwaukee heated coat. It replaces my first gen Milwaukee coat. I had that one for 5 years finally the seams in the back tore open. I loved the first one. Don't much like the new one. It is not warm. I have to wear more layers over it. Probably going to try the Dewalt next time...
Just ordered the Milwaukee heated sweater last night from grainger and wow I hope it comes quick! Now gotta get new boots, mine are all torn up...lol
I have a dewalt khaki jacket don't wear it too much cuz I got it ad a gift and it's 3 sizes too big but it gets warm quick and feels super durable
3 yrs old now. Is there a more recent review as these have undergone some mods, so head to heated of current would be nice.
Milwaukee heated Axis Jacket is by far the goat, thick outer skin while still lighter than a normal Carhartt. If looks could kill the probably will! Phenomenal!
Seth Older the axis doesn’t have the heated pockets though, correct? That’s really what I’m looking for, I’m and outside electrician, 10 hour work day, handling cold conduit freezes my hands fast, it would be nice to have the option of warm pockets , even if it’s only a couple minutes at a time.
Milwaukee made 2, I got the first one just because it has a hood but I like all of the features on the 2nd one, if they made the 2nd one with a hood I would definitely get it.
Should do this review again there are a lot of types of heated milwaukee jackets
Literally just got the axis hooded M12 jacket kit today at Rural farm.... currently waiting for the battery to charge up, which must have been completely dead because it's taking forever.... does the light on the charger turn green when it's charged?
Milwaukee jacket. Use it every day to matter what. Don't even use my other non heated jackets.
the one downside I keep hearing about milwakee heated sweater from 3 years ago is the battery placement is terrible when you're wearing a tool pouch. i don't know if they moved it away from your kidney or not. I have all Milwaukee power tools and this complaint is the only thing thats kept me from getting a Milwaukee heated jacket.
I bought one for the start of fall and winter and working as a roofer I had no real issues with battery placement
Waiting for it 2 go on sale for $99.99 does every year, only heard good thing on the milwaukee sweater.. plus I already invested in some m18 tools love milwaukee !!!
Justin Mcnamara where does it go on sale for that much? I've recently started looking for one since my heater went out in my truck...
chandler robbe I'm in new hampshire it's 149.99 right now
chandler robbe I belive the jacket is 200 and it goes on sale for 149.99
Where?? According to the actual website the product is no longer available. I’m really wanting to get this for my boyfriend for work. Any tips on where to buy this type of stuff would be appreciated (:
Haloe Nae eBay, Amazon ...
Milwaukee for 2 years and still working good. I carry 3 battery's in truck and never let down. I ask you about wearing the heated hoodie and jacket at same time how warm are both together?
+Dels Lawn Care I don't think I've worn both where they both had batteries in them. A hoodie and either jacket and you're good to go imo.
I’ve got the original Milwaukee heated jacket Love it some and heating elements are going out sadly but still my favorite jacket to wear might buy the hoodie to go with it under it at least.
They make a vest now
I have 2 milwaukee heated jackets that no longer work. They each lasted a year. No info from milwaukee about a fix
My first one broke a heat coil on the first wash.
Return was easy and they threw in a free m12 battery.
What kinda fabric is the outside of the dewalt jacket made out of? My boyfriend is a welder and only wears 100% cotton, I’m struggling with finding a heated cotton jacket for him!
Very interesting and informative video it is. I like this video. Every information is very helpful too. Thank you.
I run Milwaukee so I am going with team red but will try to get one on sale been a mild winter so far
Please put them on matey boy. Are they bulky can you wear under another jacket?
Check out our 2020 updated review.
check out 8k flex warm designed in the uk has a phone app that you can connect too to use the heat setting and the battery pack is 7200 mah and the battery bank is tiny i think 180 grams best jacket on the market check the out 8kflexwarm.com/
Great review would like to see more MAKITA
Motion Heat make Gloves and vest with socks to come. They rock
4:20 appreciate the ‘warm hands’ comment. I’m the same way; if I can keep hands/feet warm I’m all good :)
Your killing me I just bought the Milwaukee hoodie based on your review- I have watched a few videos on the jacket also but I wasn’t convinced- but after watching your review I purchased that also - you went over everything-- Thanks
My mom has the Milwaukee sweatshirt last year and i got the dewalt jacket for Christmas this year
Can u use flex battery? In dewalt
Thanks patriot for the great review.
Since they both use 12v DC.. Can you use a dewalt battery in the milwaukee jacket??
An auto setting where you set the temp and the battery turns on and off to maintain that temperature.
nice I'm going to do the the DeWalt
Triple-D's Lawn Care & Services
I have the DeWalt, the only think is that the battery is to bulky
Great video pal
Milwaukee all the way, I was personally disgusted with dewalt when the came out with the flexvolt line after I already had deeply invested in the 20v platform. I sold that crap and am now very heavily invested in milwaukee. p.s. the M18 miter saw is a beast
+buzzsaw301 I hear ya
Agreed the Flexvolt or whatever is the answer to a problem no one has on the jobsite
I'm on the fence on that too lol fucking DeWalt gave them all my money then they like give us more money fornew batteries n tools.. ugh
I like what Makita is doing with dual batteries
Boy! People will bitch about anything. Why would you want a mitre saw or table saw that works off 20v batteries? Buy the new tools. It’s not like they offered them in their 20v line and BONUS, you can use the 60v in your existing 20v tools.
Love my Milwaukee Red Jacket, it's awesome!
You need snap on heated jacket best out there!
I Bought heated rechargeable gloves and they are the best piece of clothing I have purchased. The brand is called Volt they are not cheap but they are worth the money, if you are outdoors often in cold weather then you will definitely like them.
Alex A Thx for the suggestion I will definitely check them out pal.
I have Ravean heated jackets. Loved the 1.0 version. Really love the new 2.0. Heated jacket, heated pockets or gloves, heated hood. Both were Kickstarter. I’ll buy a second set of 2.0 gloves as soon as they’re available. Heating elements down each finger.
Cool
I’ve got the M12 hoodie. It was cheaper and probably a little better to layer over the top of it and keep the heat in. But if that dewalt is 20v, it’s gonna be a better platform for my backpack tools and impact. Always a dilemma with these two.
Milwaukee
I just got one from my wife for Christmas the only thing I don't like about it, it doesn't have a hood it also could use a head phone jack or blue tooth just because I have my head phones in all day at work
Now I just can't figure out how to use the jacket I have it plugged in but its not getting hot is there something I'm doing wrong here
Never mind didnt no you had to hold the button down lmaoo IMA idiot
I would have liked to see the jackets.
Yep put the jacket on dude.
Great review......I have both and agree with your opinion 👍
Wish my Milwaukee heated hoodie had the hand warmer option otherwise works good.
Any recommendations if I wanna use one for hunting in north Wisconsin? I'm thinking the milwaukee, but not sure. Would also be used for much more than just hunting, which is why I'm thinking one of these would be better than dedicated hunting jackets.
personally id say the milwaukee specifically the tough shell jacket theyre nice and tough warm too but also come in red grey black and camo
If your going deer hunting, Milwaukee makes a camo hunting heated jacket that isn’t tough shell because it makes noise when you move when the fabric rubs together. Their hunting heated jacket gets rid of the noise it makes while moving so you don’t have to worry about whatever animal you’re hunting hearing you move around
If you Had the Choice Between the Milwaukee Jacket or they're Hoodie which one would you Suggest. I'm from Maine where in the a Winter the Average temp in the Winter is anywhere from 20°-30°, I'm looking to have one for Working, Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling.
WeaselBurp Outdoors That's a hard answer.. it just depends. As a "winter coat", go with the thicker Milwaukee jacket like I have here. For spring / fall you can get away with the hoodie just fine. Anything less than 40 degrees I would say it's jacket time.
Brian's Lawn Maintenance Thank you, Yeah the Only time I'd use it is when it's Below Freezing
WeaselBurp Outdoors Jacket it is!
I got the Milwaukee jacket this year . I thought I’d feel the heat - kind of like a heating pad , that is not the case . I’m disappointed overall . I never really feel it . Using 2.0 battery btw
i just got one and am disappointed
Really? That sucks...How much do they run for?
@@blackhole6828
Yes it does suck . I think it was around $225
@@keystonedaytrip238 awe man that's shitty. I was thinking on buying one but I'll probably pass. Thanks for the reply👍
i wear ororo hoodie which is nice cus u can layer another jacket (wind proof) on top. the ororo only covers me upper body chest and the upper back and how much i get battery life 4 hrs on high mode only.
$200-$250 for the jackets, thanks but a couple of $12 sweat shirts layerd do the job for a lot less, put your extra money into getting a new truck, what year is that?
You ever work overhead with 4,5 different layers on?
@@winstonsmeenk Brian said he was using the jackets in the spring and fall for leaf clean up, not sure where the working overhead came from. I understand that certain jobs require special gear but my comment pertains to yard work. Be safe overhead.
Ahh i thought you meant a waste to ppl buying them in general. I was wearing layers yesterday at work and was stuggling with mobilty... thanks will do!
& hey nothing wrong with those trucks if you dont mind replacing the alternator 3 times a year 😂
All trucks do the same all have the capacity and all have tires as well.
@skankhunt42 that's fucked up 😂😂😂
