Get All Hot and Bothered
The Hi-Viz Makita Cordless Heated Jacket meets the ANSI 107 class 3 requirements for reflective and visible workwear, sure, but that’s only half of the equation. The other half revolves around the heat that the jacket provides.
It runs on the brand’s 18V LXT battery platform, which powers 5 different heating elements located at the left and right chest, back, and side pockets. It has 3 heat settings, and with the 6.0Ah battery, it can run over 37 hours on the low setting.
The Makita Cordless Heated Jacket uses a polyester shell that repels wind and water, and it retains its internal temperature very well. Five pockets, as well as a clear windowed pocket for credentials, give you options for storage.
The Hi-Viz Makita Cordless Heated Jacket retails for around $209 , with the batteries sold separately. It comes with a 3-year warranty and is able to run through washer and dryer cycles.
