Heated Jackets — Warming You From Within

Winters in the northern hemisphere of the earth are known to be brutal, especially from December to February. The extreme cold restricts the inhabitants of those areas from functioning normally during the cold months, especially during heavy snowfalls and hailstorms. Since long, man has been looking of new ways to battle the cold and lead a normal life in the freezing temperatures without suffering from hypothermia (the condition where the body temperature is abnormally low, which may also lead to death).

While fire and animal-fur jackets were deemed life-savers in harsh winters, the use of polyester and other synthetic materials for making jackets gave them an added advantage of being waterproof along with insulation. But jackets have their limitations and can lose their heating function when subjected to extreme temperatures for long durations of time for those people working outdoors.

Milwaukee heated jackets were designed to overcome the heating limitations of a normal winter jacket. They come embedded with heating elements built right into the jacket so that there is continuous heat production, irrespective of the external weather conditions. They are built of industrial-grade polyester for maximum protection from water and cold. They differ from most electric jackets (as they are commonly called) in the fact that while most electric jackets require an external power source (e.g.- motorcycle battery/ car charger) for the heating elements to work, Milwaukee heated jackets have rechargeable lithium batteries which makes them highly portable, giving them up to 8 hours of running time.

The heating element used in these jackets is made of carbon fiber for effective heat production and prevention of the burning of inner materials. They are embedded between the rugged outer protective cover and the inner linings. The materials and the advanced garment construction technology used in making Milwaukee heated jackets enable the creation, trapping and distribution of heat around the core body area to keep the body warm irrespective of cold exteriors.

Different jackets are required for the varying levels of cold. Below are some varieties of heated jackets offered by Milwaukee:

· 3-in-1 Heated Jackets: These jackets combine the functions of 3 different jackets — waterproof, windcheater and insulated jackets. They are designed for use in extreme freezing cold and their water-resistant feature enables them to be used even in cold, rainy days. They are made of high-quality polyester for maximum utility and durability.

· Regular Heated Jackets: These jackets are almost similar to 3-in-1 jackets, made of softshell outer material (which offers water and snow resistance) but are not meant for extreme cold conditions.

· Heated Hoodies: They are constructed from lightweight but durable materials for casual use in regular winter conditions. The design of the heating elements is exactly similar to the other jackets from Milwaukee, although they have a softer weave thermal inner liner for more comfort.

· Heated Vests: These are designed for use in winters with a hint of sunlight. Construction is similar to regular heated jackets, albeit arm protection is missing. It is both water and wind proof.
