Anybody use the Milwaukee heated vest?

[Dads Son]

I was looking at the Milwaukee heated vest. I was just wondering if any of youns use it and does it work good? Or is there another brand that works better?

I have the jacket. Works okay. I wear a vest to keep the heat pads close and a jacket over that. 30 minutes on high per battery.

My wife bought it; it was maybe a great work vest but it did not meet her deer hunting needs so she returned it for a refund.

Was thinking of getting this for my dad. Why did it not meet her needs in the deer woods?

I would highly recommend pnuma outdoors icon x heated vest. It’s pricy ($150) but single greatest piece of hunting clothing I own. Also has lifetime warranty.

I bought earlier this year and just bought for my dad. Their reviews are phenomenal.

Compared to Milwaukee it’s no brainer. Essentially consider wearing a base layer that wicks moisture and heats at same time.

I bought an extra battery but can get 5 hours of 100 degrees on low and 3 hours of 104 degrees on high.

I’m no spokesman for pnuma, I stumbled on them, but have been incredibly impressed and have purchased more of their gear.

That vest looks pretty slick. Never thought I'd be interested in something like that but I spent a ton of money on adhesive body warmers this year! It was a COLD November in NC!

I have spent over $2000 on gear in last 24 months. I’m not sure I’m proud of that. If I could keep one thing it would be this. You can wear it any time of year. Heats up to full temperature in 10 seconds. I find myself turning it on for 5-10 min at a time. And then the last 2 hours of my sit.

I just ordered their midlayer down. I’m super excited to try it

It did not keep her warm in only mildly cold temps;apparently the heated part was not throughout the coat and she thought it would have been better if it was.

I should add regarding the pnuma outdoors. It has heat coils in lower back, stomach, and upper back btw shoulders and neck.

It is next to skin so you feel immediately. I believe their descriptions of battery life to be pretty accurate: 5-6hrs on low, 3-4 medium and 2-3 high.

I also have backup battery so I can cover as long of a sit as I want. I’ve never had to change batteries.

My son and I wouldn't go out on a cold day without our Dewalt camo heated jackets from CPO outlets. These are heavy, high quality zippers, has a hood, not shown, and r definitely a tremendous value at $190 and one of the must have peices of hunting gear that I own. Order a size bigger than you normally wear.
