the jacket what size do you normally wear and is that the same size or does it run small or big because I like to buy my father a jacket for hunting in the camo

VCG Construction I actually just talked to my Milwaukee rap and he's going to bring a few jackets in I like the three in one but the only problem they don't make the three-in-one in the camo and also i have to wear bright yellow with the reflective stripes when I'm working My Town job Sanitation summer go with the Milwaukee black jacket for 199 and then put my town jacket over that ask you what your my father wants but great video I couldn't wait for you to come out with this

@@josephmalinowski6817 i am a big guy...i can fit into 3X shirts & jackets but prefer 4X for extra room...the largest size milwaukee makes is 3X...i just bought this axis layering system in 3X and it fits me fine...its snug...not alot of room but its not too tight....its better for it to be snug so the heaters in the jacket are up against you...if the jacket is too loose you prob wont get the same heat transfer

Because of u I converted over from dewalt to Milwaukee. I have the impact driver and the drill combo with ONE-KEY™,the wet vac and now I’m about to buy the jacket. I am now a officially a Milwaukee fan

Lol. The new DeWalt XR (20 volt) stuff impresses me but I buy Milwaukee because it goes with the batteries I own.
Got my heated dewalt last year, couldn't be happier perfect solution when your getting in and out of the truck during snow storms
Bought the tough shell a couple weeks ago when Home Depot started carrying them, then found one of these today for a steal of a deal at our electrical supply house. Throw this under the tough shell and turn then both on high and I am one toasty warm electrician! Gonna be great for working on docks this winter!

@@zacharysherry2910 buy it kinda snug if you can, like don’t buy a size bigger than you would need. I bought a 2nd one of these because the first one I bought was an XL and it is great but a little loose. So I got a large and it feels like it heats a lot better because it’s more snug. The heated hoodie plus this jacket plus the outer shell works great though! Stay warm bud!
They also have a cord to adapt to the lighter / accessory outlet of your truck . Good for long winter trips .What I mostly use for layering is the vest . The outer shell looks interesting !
Great video Vince! I was looking for a review on this before spending the money and you Answered all my questions in this video!
Putting the two together is just like motorcycle jackets.I just got the Milwaukee heated hoodie and I love it.
Great video Vince, very informative and that is a great looking jacket system. Thanks for all you do your videos rock.
I have the Milwaukee jacket and it is really warm even without the power on. What I like the most about them is the heated handwarmer pockets. My son gave me mine for Christmas two years ago.
I just picked up the heated hoodie because of your video- now I’m going to buy the jacket- thanks for the great video
Vin man you crack me up , great review 👍👌
Absolutely love this new jacket. I work on tug boats it gets Frigid cold in the winter time I’ll have on up to four jackets to stay warm and you can just peel them off layer by layer if you do get too hot and then I wear a pair of thermals underneath with longjohns or regular pants and then a pair of coveralls and I wear a pair of boots that can handle -19° the only problem with this is . is getting my wife to let me buy one LOL.But this would work amazing for me in my line of work because I would just keep the two jackets together you never know when you’re going to get soaking wet out here it happens a lot so being -20 and soaking wet is it fun
Yea buddy. Thanks for the review, I was about to buy this so you helped a lot

Does that mean you didn't get it?
very thorough. Just bought one of the heated tough shell. Although now im thinking I should return that and get this.
Thanks for demonstrating how to combine the coats. I got the kit and there was no instructions for it.
Nice concept yet would want the outer shell to be waterproof and to offer some sort of stay dry lining in the jacket component.
If you were to buy the work site later and then decide you wanted the rain shell layer, will you be able to use them both on the axis jacket? And also can you buy the different shells separate?
Just a heated sweater and your choice of weather resistant coat seams like best choice.
Excellent video ! The Jacket is great. Of course, I do not work outdoors, but I appreciate good stuff!

How do you adjust the heat once its layered together can you see the Hi/Med/Low with them joined together?
VCG, is the hood detachable? Great review on the jackets, keep them coming.
Thanks this help me out.
I live in Minnesota and everybody knows winters are very mild here LOL I only used the outer shell jacket all last year and stayed plenty warm but I will be getting the whole thing this year
Question how does this one compare to the older heated jacket combo?? I have the older version
I want one ,and now more since winter is coming!!!
I believe that I like the vest better. Keep it closer to the body where it’s needed and then it will replace one layer and another layer when ignited. That’s the idea at least
Hey Vince, I love your vids. Have you done anything on Milwaukee electric ratchets? TIA
Do these not have the heated pockets? Not that i use it a lot but when i need it its so nice, not having that feature is a bummer, idk id have to test it but i think id rather have that, than the sholders
during the holidays were all an extra large

I say this on every Milwaukee video please bring the product to uk 🇬🇧
If you were doing snowblowing/shovelling, which would you choose? Hydro or Grid
I love this guy he is so cool
Sorry if I missed it but can you adjust the heat from the outer shell?
Milwaukee needs to make the heated jackets line in high visibility! Two birds one stone.
I know the hydro break shell can be purchased separately, but can the Gridiron shell be purchased separately if you already have the AXIS? I have looked and can't find one. Even on Milwaukee's site.
Nice jacket Vince!
Vince what side is that jacket if it's the correct size I'll buy the jacket from you and then you can just get the other rain jacket
Last winter in big bear cali I didnt even turn on the heat. The jacket kept me toasty. I didnt like the gen 1 cuffs tho
Time to replace my Carhatt with some Milwaukee options. I like the way that you spoke about the handsome look. I need to step up my appearance game cause it does make a difference. I also gonna get some gridiron bib overalls. Thanks for the informational video, Vince!

I used to not be sold on heated jackets and heated outerwear until I tried mine. Everyone laughed when I bought my jacket last year. Driving from store to store just to clear snow from Satellite dishes or to an install when you are not outside long enough to get warmed up, the jacket kept me very warm. If you can afford it, it is well worth the investment. The only thing I wish mine had was a hood but for the deep discount I got it at, I will take the trade off.
How does it feel with a tool belt on?
They should make one with sleeves that warm up too
that is nice I wanted the Milwaukee heated jacket I just didn't know if I should go with the three in one heated jacket or the single zip-up heated jacket

My only gripes with the heated sweaters are they’re so short it pulls up to your shoulders when you bend over. And although the battery placement is good, the shape of the batteries is still annoying.
What about durability? Crawling under mobile homes over old wood and other debris to repair water and drainage lines really beats up my work jackets.
How would you turn the heat on/ off with the extra layer on? Is the top layer thin enough to feel the buttons? I have a feeling I missed this part.

The old Milwaukee 3 in 1 heated jacket system, which is now discontinued, is better than the new Axis layering system. Wish I could find someone with the old style jackets still on hand or Milwaukee realizes that the old style was better and brings it back into production. The hood on the GridIron jacket for the Axis system is way to big, and in my opinion unusable, the hood on the old 3 in 1 system was more like a hoodie, which I prefer.
