hey guy i am looking into getting a heated jacket or hoodie. it would be for hunting battery platform doesn’t matter. do the hoodies put out as much heat as the jackets do?
not sure I can compare only have a hoodie……happy with it however
Dan and Eric did a tool fight its been awhile but I think the Bosch was the hottest of all of the heated jackets they tested back then. They seem to update them every year though.

I have the Milwaukee hoodie. I like it but it fits loose and doesn’t overly warm. It’s an xl and I could wear a large. They are sized normally I just lost about 70lbs in the last 7 months.
I would like to have the 3 in 1 jacket. That way I could wear the heated vest under any of my regular jackets.
Yeah the 3 n 1 Is what I am leaning towards!

If you are looking for hunting, I would go with the Milwaukee camo. I have it and love it. The Bosch is the warmest, but they don’t offer Camo
Also remember the Milwaukees fit is off. I would go one size smaller than what you normally wear, you don’t want an air gap between the heating elements and your body or the effect is drastically lessened. I have 3 m12 hoodies and love them. Also converted my pops into red tools and a hoodie that he wears quadding and hunting.
Good point
Thanks guys for all the help on here you guys are the best!!

Eric,
Are you talking about the 3 in 1 Milwaukee or the regular jacket? I think both come in camo.
All I know is I have the Camo jacket and its on me whenever there’s a chill in the air, I love it!

Life of a contractor for sure. The sweater doesn’t see much use lately here either, been on a roof for 3 weeks, and now interior of a 6 story renovation of a 100 year old commercial space. Hot and muggy, yet smells so stale inside.NERemodeling wrote:

I gotta get a heated jacket.
All this heated gear talk makes me wanna get a Milwaukee hoodie. I wonder if they make them for little dudes like me though, I’m 5’3″ and about 140.
Small should fit properlybothuhead19 wrote:
