I know I’m boring you guys to death with my recent videos but heres my newest one worth watching.

I did some runtime tests and tests to see how hot it gets

Sad news about my heated jacket the compartment that holds the battery pack fell apart on me while snow blowing today. I think it can’t really handle the weight of the 18v xc pack over a long time. I had the jacket a little over a year.

JavierMember since Aug 2013

Do you have a newer jacket? I know mine can fit a m18 battery but Im not sure about an xc. What kind of runtime did you get on a m18 xc 4.0? a few days?

Nice review. I bought my gf the heated hoodie for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. You’re right about them attracting attention. There are still people that see the lighted button and ask about it. Two women we work with have bought themselves one. The only complaint has been the hoodies only come in mens sizes. The smallest gal swims in the mens small. Maybe Milwaulkee should consider womens sizes and colors.

I had a 2.0 jacket that is supposed to fit an xc pack. The runtime with the xc pack was pretty long ateast a whole day on high.

yeah I have to turn mine off if I don’t want to be bothered. Now that I’ve had the jacket for a while I’m debating if I should have got the hoodie instead because it would be nice to throw it in the washer.

Sounds like the women at work should try the women’s jacket, maybe those come in smaller sizes.

Shit, where Harold lives it’s 75 and sunny on Christmas 😆

It was -9 here last night with 7″ of snow

JavierMember since Aug 2013

Sounds a lot like where I live. If you added up all the cold days this winter here it would probably total to 2 weeks. It feels like fall hasn’t taken a break and some weeks summer gives us a visit this winter. It’s annoying having to run the ac when it’s supposed to be cold time

NicholasShetleyMember since Nov 2013

Right now it is 55 and tomorrow it wine even hit 20.

Harold WrayMember since Jun 2013

Lol Conductor! We do get spoiled here with the weather. I’m still waiting for the heated jacket. That’s the last thing. Everything else is sitting in my kitchen. I just like sitting by it all. I have been wanting to try the jacket for a long time.

Honestly this looks looks nice for fall or Somthing but I’d rather have a heated hoodie acting as my middle layer and carhart to keep all that head in and block wind, plus when I get to a job a can still wear it comfortably this type of jacket seems a lot harder to work in but idk

JavierMember since Aug 2013

Never tried a heated hoodie but I’m sure those are great. Let us know how you like it when you get it.

This jacket is comfortable and isn’t bad for work. The only downside is that it gets dirty easily so If it’s a messy job I would wear something else.

Punda1991Member since Dec 2013

Will do! I like the idea of being able to wash it as we’ll, plus I just really like hoodies lol but that is a sharp jacket!

I need To buy one of these when winter comes around…gets cold riding my gsxr crotch rocket.

JavierMember since Aug 2013

Soon is the best time to buy when it’s going to warm up soon as they have some very good deals after winter.

frankiegarcia19Member since Jan 2014

Thats true javier

NicholasShetleyMember since Nov 2013

A person would need two or three to keep warm this winter.

Harold WrayMember since Jun 2013

I still haven’t received the one I won. Oh well maybe next year.

DR99Member since Nov 2012

Did you contact Dan and Eric about it? I though Manufacture was handling getting the items shipped to you with this giveaway? Milwaukee got the radio to me just fine 🙁 Just sucks to hear that 🙁

JavierMember since Aug 2013

Wow that is a long time. I thought the Klein multi meter took a long time and that was only 2 or 3 weeks

. Yes, kinda sucks. I keep hoping it comes. Yes I told Eric. I’m sure it will come one day. Im not complaining and shouldn’t complain at all. I got all these other great tools. I wish you guys got to feel the way I did when my name was on the screen.

I felt extremely excited when I won the grinder. I can’t imagine how you felt.
