Tldr: I need a new heated vest/jacket (and accessories). Got any recommendation?
My Milwaukee electric hoodie recently died. I liked it for the warmth under my jacket, but I never loved it because it didn’t get that hot. Just kind of warmish. I can always swap batteries.
I live in a climate that often drops to sub zero (F) temps, and I’m often outside for multiple hours. I have a nice parka and a puffy jacket. But electric heat feels so great beneath.
I want some new heated gear. Primarily a hoodie or vest, but a good jacket, gloves, socks, etc., could be nice too.
Ideas?
You are a heater; a really good one. Better clothes will help you store and distribute that heat. If you aren’t wearing a wool base layer, it will be the single greatest change you can make.
Do you also have (I assume) nice quality base layers, maybe wool?
I wear under layers if I know that I’ll be out for long, thermals and what not. Heated feels pretty nice though.
Milwaukee is a tool company. Try Carhartt, they actually know how to make clothes.
Yeah, it was an impulse buy that worked out for a few years. Now that I need to replace it, I’m sure there are better options. Carhartt makes good stuff. I’ll check them out.
I had a vest from these guys for when id motorcycle in winter on the west coast.
