Lincoln, kinda...
I have a friend who bought Milwaukee branded electric jackets for himself and his employees. He says he loves how well they work, but he really hates the bulky battery being in his lower back. Especially when sitting with a backrest.

Yeah im eyeballing these lightweight, thin linner vests for layering and extra warmth w/o the bulk of a heavy duty jacket lite weight thin lithium 7volt battery,it's amazing all the heated items on the market,fold out chairs boat cushions boot inserts etc never knew such a big market.

I purchased one of the heated jacket from Menards the first week of December. I can set in my Skidsteer pushing snow at -10 below and stay warm with no heat in cab, just enclosed. I figured for 49.00 if it's junk I didn't get clipped to bad. When on high its to hot. On medium settings I can get 5 hrs on a charge. Well worth the 49.00

THIS. Bought the wife a Milwaukee heated vest. She loves the vest but hates the bulk battery and doesn't really use the battery....i know i know...kinda defeated the reason for the purchase.

Thanx for the input,I checked on Milwaukee line,expensive compared to others im sniffing around, seems the more expensive vests $100+ have better insulation material not the case with Milwaukee and ultra thin lite weight batteries weighing less than 10 oz's located front lower pocket,some powerbanks accommodate as a cell charger, nice option just incase,thanx for the input,appreciated.
