Location: Oklahoma | does anyone have one? I thought there was a post bout some suggestions but I cant find. I want one for Christmas so I'm helping hubby. He said the ones he found didn't have high reviews and batteries are so big you have to carry on hip. So not sure bout that. Maybe it was facebook I seen post. If you have one and like what brand is it? thanks |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | The one made by Milwaukee is the only one I've seen. It's only in mens sizes and at $180 it doesn't come with a battery or a charger. We already have the batteries and chargers as those are the type of tools we have...but I just don't know how effective the coats are...and I would be drowning in a mens size. |

Location: Deep South | I bought my sister this one last year for Christmas and she loves it!

She said she likes that it's a light weight jacket, not so big and bulky, but still keeps her just as warm.
ETA: The battery is really no bigger/heavier than carrying a cell phone in your pocket. It has a special pocket that zips up specifically for the battery.

Location: Canada | I have both the Milwaukee heated jacket and the heated sweater. The jacket is nice (mine has the pocket warmers as well) but I like the sweater for underneath my winter overalls. The battery sits behind your left arm by your hip so it's out of the way but it is thicker. The smaller battery packs don't last as long or produce much heat.
I live where it gets -40 at times so it's to have extra heat on. |

Location: Montgomery TX | I ordered my husband's heated jacket and gloves from www.thewarmingstore.com He absolutely loves them!! I had some questions about sizing and how the jacket should fit and their customer service was excellent.
Edited to add - I ended up getting the Milwaukee brand as it had the best consumer reviews that I could find.

Location: East Texas | Best purchase ever. We have the milwaukee and it has 3 different settings and the pocket warmers. I ordered 3 this year straight from the Milwaukee website, I got them for under 150 each and also got free batteries with each. |

No, he has rechargeable heated insoles that he uses. He has had them for years and I'm not sure where he got them but you could probably google it. He swears by them!
Edited to add: Thermacell insoles is what they are. (googled them lol) he is a duck hunting guide - and uses them in his waders. He says they send heat all the way up his legs and they have a remote control to turn them on/off and up/down.

We already have the batteries and chargers as those are the type of tools we have...but I just don't know how effective the coats are...and I would be drowning in a mens size.
Regarding the sizing - I don't have any idea how small of a woman you are, however My husband is a relatively small man - 5'10 137 LBS - (very slim and lean) it also fits me - i'm 5'6 140 - its just a bit snug around the girls (34DD). I definately could not wear a thick sweater underneath it, the arms would be uncomfortable to move. It's made to be worn close to the body, therefore they have a slimmer fit than regular jackets. We both are very happy with the purchase, I bought the batteries/charger/jacket all together for him for Christmas a few years back. He uses the products A LOT during hunting season, almost daily so to us it was worth the price. |
