    Marks.

    Milwaukee(sp?) has some good ones. I had one while I was up north and I would just put the jacket underneath a hoody or other coat and it would keep me warm up to -40.

    I had the Milwaukee jacket as well. Loved it until it was stolen. My only complaint was battery life on high power was only about 3ish hours, but was a great jacket.

    Just remember these are awful for actual "work" (any job with physical labour). Great for standing around in the cold though (hunting in a tree stand, etc).

    Saw a "p-"review of this. Not so "work" jacket. Wonder how these will hold up in our climate. I suppose it could work if you wear a shell on top for colder days.

    Great for the hockey rink. We bought the coaches some a couple seasons ago.

    I wear mine for everyday work, it's great.. I hate normal winter clothing especially when I am back and forth between indoors and outdoors, or in and out of the truck. Instead of peeling or adding layers constantly, I just turn the jacket off. I carry a backpack full of tools all day up and down ladders, jacket is holding up well.

    I also have the milwaukee one from marks. Works pretty good and as a bonus, if you have any milwaukee power tools, it uses the same battery. I have a milwaukee cordless drill and it shares the same battery pack/charger.

    I have the 200$ milwaukee one, its great at keeping you warm but has no breathablity in the material. Ive been soaked in sweat wearing it a few times without the heater on. I was thinking about grabing a hoodie for $100 and trying that.

    Im in my third year with it and has held up fine. No rips or tears, but im not in hard construction anymore just maintance work. I dont like wearing a heavy jacket that was my reasoning behind buying one and i dont regret it.

    I have the DeWalt heated gear hoodie and i LOVE it. The hoodie itself is warm without the heat on but in the morning when its cold i put it on and run the heat at medium and on super cold days i just wear that with a down vest and i am good for all weather conditions. The battery pack sits on the left side kidney area and has very little interference. I use the larger 20V max battery as my drills use them so it was easy for me and they last longer.

    I just really like the hoodie as it eliminates having to carry coats when im at the mall or somewhere that i would normally take a jacket off. The hoodies isnt "cheap" but a standard name brand hoodie is between 70-80$ on its own so $150.00 for this wasnt a big debate/stretch for me. Im wearing it as i write this during a full 8 hour work day and its comfortable and easy to work with while wearing it.

    Id definitely recommend the DeWalt Heated Gear.

    Been wondering about these for a while. I know a guy who swears by his Milwaukee heated jacket. The thing looks like a normal softshell, but obviously has a battery on it somewhere, and heating elements.

    From the look of the milwaukee website, it looks like on the back, the heat is up high. Anyone know of a jacket that heats the low back? That's the main area I want warmed up. Less concerned with chest, belly and shoulders.

    Don't really care if it's a vest or a jacket, just needs to be something that layers under waterproof outerwear if required.

    Who's into this stuff? Where's the place to buy it? Are these commonly available in women's sizes too? I think my wife would kill me if I didn't buy her one at the same time.

    Online seems to be the place to buy these cheap. Check out this one on Amazon.

    I don't think any of them heat the low back. I don't know why that is.

    So, it's getting colder. Might get serious about buying one of these. Seems like the bosch brand get the best marks for a soft-shell style. Lowes sells them cheaper than amazon.

    None of the price tracker websites I used to use are showing me online price history. Anyone know of a site that does that?

    Also, anyone know a place that has a decent stock in-store to try on the different sizes?

    As someone who uses mine almost daily in the winter, its a really nice investment that you know will get use here!!! Just make sure to have a separate battery on the charger at all times!

    If RIDGID made these, I would have a few by now...I want to get one, but I don't want to have to worry about which batteries I have with me.
