Anyone use one regularly?  Have any advice?  I see Milwaukee, Bosch, deWalt and Kobalt all have something, as well as some lesser brands, with a wide range of pricing.

 

I'm looking for something to extend my outdoor activity time in biting cold, might want to use it when riding a motorcycle too (have a 12 volt vest already, but really, REALLY dislike having to plug in and out getting on and off the bike).

So, this is like a bomb vest?

A friend of mine has the bosch jacket. He likes. Had it a few years now and doesnt have any issues. I think it was around 400$?

I'm scared to buy anything anymore. Most of it has components made in China and has a chance of catching fire or exploding, especially with their lithium ion batteries.

Had one but kept having problems between the batteries and the element sewn in the coat.  Return to my old favorite, hand/body warmers in strategic places.  Eliminating the wind is key.  Think it's cold here, come with us to Tug Hill when we go sledding. BURRRR............

I have the Milwaukee, it's been good so far.

Spend the grand on a proper parka....

 

Remember, lithium fires don't like getting put out.
