M80 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 http://www.makita.biz/product/category/cordless/dcv200_cv100d/index_f.html I like this idea better than a heated jacket, but I still can't imagine actually wearing one while I work.

Andrull Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ps: The Makita heated jacket can also easily be converted to a vest (removable sleeve). Seems a bit more practical to at least have the opportunity to choose what you want to wear. A jacket or vest if you ask me. Is there any price difference to talk about? Both would be perfect depending on the weather up north here. Sometimes (usually) it rains in the spring and fall. And it will change 10+ times a day. Going from too hot when the sun shines, and too cold for a pure rain jacket when it rains. With the heated jacket you can turn up and down the power, or just drop the sleeves when it gets too hot. Not sure if the hands and fingers will keep warm when the rest is hot. And in the winter you can have the heated vest under the winter-jacket (which in turn doesn't have to be as big and clumpy). And be used on some jogging trips or what not. Adjusting the power before you get hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_dave Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Being able to remove sleeves from a jacket to make it into a vest is a great idea, however the zippers in sleeves can be quite a nuisance. If you work in construction and find yourself carrying lumber (or anything) on your shoulder, the zippers dig into your shoulder so keep that in mind when deciding Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Not that I usually carries a lot like timber on my shoulder, but yeah, I can see the possible nuiseance. Not sure if it would come in conflict with larger backpacks or anything like that? If I wantet do have it with me camping/hunting/fishing or somthing like that?

mike_dave Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Those are just as bad! I had a shell like that for rain/wind. Carrying a backpack on the way to school was terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
