Milwaukee’s M12 cordless heated jackets (2330 & 2331) are now available via Amazon and a number of other retailers. These soft-shell jackets are water and wind resistant, have 3 heat zones for evenly distributed warmth, a 6-hour runtime, and 3 heat settings plus a warm-up feature. The jackets are powered by Milwaukee’s new RedLithium souped-up M12 batteries.
Sounds hot!

I don’t even own any of the M12 line but I want this jacket really bad. I’d even take it on short buzzes around the lake on the snowmobile. I just need to find an excuse to get into the line now.
justin says
where does the battery go?
Stuart says
There’s a battery holder pocket on the backside of the jacket.

I heard a piece on the radio this morning about what’s probably a priceier alternative being sold by Columbia Sportswear. Here is a link I found:

Thanks for the link! $400 for gloves, and $850 for the jacket! Ouch. Glove-wise, unless there’s an intricate network of heating elements, I’d probably just opt for chemical hand warmers when absolutely necessary.
