    Anyone out there try the Milwaukee heated hoodies? I was at Home Depot and saw it and love the idea. But I need info and testimonials before I spend 150$ on a hoodie

    Sounds interesting but I was very disappointed by the heated insoles. Maybe there’s been an improvement.

    I bought a jacket for my mother and she sits through gun season in Wisconsin just fine.

    Menards has a heated fleece vest $99, takes the same batteries as my power tools. thinking it might be a good investment for late season if I don't fill my tags sooner.

    I've been using the Milwaukee heated hoodie for 2-3 years now. I love it. Works great and lasts for a few hours on low-med heat. I typically don't turn it on until I start to feel a little chill and then I'm cozy for the next few hours.

    It's definitely a little on the bulky side.

    I have the heated vest. This will be my 3rd year with it. I actually ended up getting the extended size battery. Its a little bulky with the bigger battery bulging out on the side but I make it work. The nice thing about is that I do not have to wear as many layers. I typically will wear my cold gear or long johns, maybe a fleece and then the vest before I put my main jacket on. You definitely want it closer to your body so you can feel the heat. With the larger battery on medium heat it lasts 8-10 hours for me. For the really cold days, I still have a windshear sweater that I can wear over the vest. This will helps keep the heat in.

    **Its not extreme heat or anything like that. It more or less takes the chill out and helps you hunt longer in my opinion

    I just got mine other day, have worn it past 2 days at work. Has worked prerry decent, could really tell difference when wasn't doin much, running equipment, rest of time had it off. The jacket, they call it hoodie, is heavier and warmer than one already had. But it was 30-40 degrees out and only had tshirt and pretty thin long sleeve button up shirt underneath and stayed pretty comfortable on low setting.
