I hate being cold. Don't always have a heater. Was thinking about one of those rechargable battery pack heated vests to wear under the coat or even larger shirt.
Thoughts? Experience? Recommendations?

Friends of mine have the heated jackets made by Milwaukee. Say they work great.

I have a jacket from Milwaukee and it is nice.
I also got an adapter to use the m18 battery for a longer run time over the smaller one.

Checkout the heated vest from Pnuma outdoors. A buddy of mine has one and loves it.

I personally love the Milwaukee jacket and find it's good to minus 40 if there's no wind! Put a good windbreaker over it and I don't know where it fails! 5 stars from me in the Arctic!!!

Better than an old Jonn-e heater? Certainly heavier..

The Milwaukee only comes with a 12v battery. I already have lots of 18v. A vest with no battery would be preferable. An adapter is $30.

I have the Milwaukee vest and like it a lot. On high it will eat up a battery in 3 hours or so, but usually lower setting is all I need for hunting and ice fishing. Generic Milwaukee 12V batteries are fairly cheap so I have 3 batteries.

I know this is a few months old but is there any more input from guys using these? I'm thinking of a vest but there are so many choices out there it's hard to know what to get. I think 5V makes sense since you can use a USB pack to run them and don't need extra batteries since I have a couple power packs already. Maybe the 5V won't last as long? Also seems like a heater in the collar would be a must have.
