I've owned both Milwaukee and Amazon brand. I agree with your assessment. When it's below 0, you need layers. If the heated gear is a few layers away from your body the warm is bastley noticeable. The battery on the Amazon one did not last near as long as the Milwaukee. Plus most of us have m12 Batts around from other tools. I like the Milwaukee better and I do use it but it doesn't make you warm on cold days. If helps take some of the chill out. Not really worth it at the end of the day
I’m a big Milwaukee Tools fan myself but the heated gear has been underwhelming. I have the jacket, hoodie, and vest. High price points and underperforming.
I have the new hexon heated vest and it's amazing. I did upgrade the battery right away with the new "heated gear power source / with app" control. It now runs for 5 hours on high vs less than 2 with the standard battery. Try a few sizes on and buy one that fits nice and snug.
I think you for the very informative video but 7:58 here you say double the heat zone, if Milwaukee has 3 and this other brand has 5 I don’t see how that’s double?!?!
The Amazon jacket claims one heat zone in the upper back, two in the lower back (left and right), one in the chest, one for the pocket area, and one in the neck area for a total of 6. I said the right number in the video, but goofed up on the location. Sorry for the confusion.
Great question and I’ve got another good comparison here: ua-cam.com/video/dqp22H1PC9o/v-deo.html I’d like to try a hoodie from Dewbu because their vest was basically the hottest thing I’ve ever tested. I bet their hoodie is pretty good too! ua-cam.com/video/lVCFCkk5TcI/v-deo.html
Great video man. You are very good at this and have that sort of "natural" tv voice if that makes sense to you. I'm married. To a WOMAN. So don't get any ideas. 😂😂😂 lol anyway, heading over to buy that other jacket now.

Great assessment!
needs bigger heating cells , turn up the heat and most importantly a much slimmer battery or 2 as an option
Hey im interested in riding my motorcycle some in the winter what is your most practical recommendation
But can u run a power tool with the Neveland battery while working... Nope .. and the 12v battery can power the jacket and your phone
I love Milwaukee, but those jackets are way overpriced.
I’m a big Milwaukee Tools fan myself but the heated gear has been underwhelming. I have the jacket, hoodie, and vest. High price points and underperforming.
So my plan to get a heated vest or hoodie to wear under a jacket was right!
I think it works better to heat the layers closest to your body, yes!
I have the new hexon heated vest and it's amazing. I did upgrade the battery right away with the new "heated gear power source / with app" control. It now runs for 5 hours on high vs less than 2 with the standard battery. Try a few sizes on and buy one that fits nice and snug.
@@troymoszer Interesting, i was looking at that because of the new elements that aren't just wire in U bends or at least they make it look that way
I’m testing the new Hexon stuff from Milwaukee and have videos coming out this fall. I have high hopes that it’s significantly better than before.
4:37 You hit the nail on the head with those impersonations
Get ready for the comments, they’ll be coming!
I have the m12 hard shell and the battery placement is really poor
Milwaukee is coming out with a fast style battery that is shaped like a back jean pocket
I think you for the very informative video but 7:58 here you say double the heat zone, if Milwaukee has 3 and this other brand has 5 I don’t see how that’s double?!?!

7:43 you're welcome
What’s your favorite heated hoodie?

How are you supposed to wash it
The battery packs are removable so in theory, that allows them to be washable.
You could get as many batteries as you wsnt.

No longer available on Amazon.
Just get a Gerbing 7v jacket

I like you you're very funny
Too many boring unboxing product reviews on UA-cam. Gotta bring up the entertainment value a bit.
