heated pockets as well would be a game changer

You are spot on with the size. I’m 5’8” and and 240lbs, and wide in the shoulders and gut and usually have to get 3x in jackets, to have movement in the arm/shoulder area. I got a 3x tough shell which is a little big, and could probably have fit a 2x but it wouldn’t be comfortable or fit a sweatshirt under it. The 3x is slightly long on me but fits good and has good movement and I could fit a hoodie under if I wanted. I have a few jackets in that same style but even without the heating, it’s warmer than my others hands down.

Thanks for addressing the fit for tall people with long arms. Why Milwaukee won't make big and tall sizes is beyond me. I spend all day bending over and reaching above me, tall sizes are the right size for me. Carhartt gets it but they don't have heated clothing. I've even sent Milwaukee a suggestion on their website asking for big and tall sizes.

Its never long enough on the bottom either

So far so good with mine .. great for walking the canine and getting into a cold car etc …

I'm 6'3" and wish they had tall options. I originally ordered the XL and it fit well but it left too much space around my belly and back so I couldn't feel the heat at all. I have since returned that and ordered the Large. Now the heating elements make decent contact with my body, however, now the overall length of the jacket is pushing it in size... We will see how it goes but I just wish they had an LT or XLT options. Carhartt has those sizes but doesn't have heated gear. Oh well!

Great video, thank you! How does the the Axis compare with the Tough Shell in terms of general warmth/thickness without the heat on? Just wondering if it is a step up and more of a winter coat than the Tough Shell or if they’re about the same.

Pretty cool!

I have the Toughshell jacket which I bought 2 years ago. It works ok but too heavy and cumbersome. I recently bought the Axis vest which I love. I usually wear the vest over a hoodie and under a jacket, seems to work great. I have more ease of movement with the vest and its light weight.

I just got mine XL, no L available until next year. (I tried an L in the Toughshell Jacket, fit snug). A closer fit is probably optimal so the heating is right there. In drivers seat it hits all the spots thocugh.

I'm 6' 1" tall 175lbs slender 32" waistline. I own XL tuffshell I love it !! I usually have long-sleeved base With tall large carhartt rain defender heavy hoodie. It Hoodie I'm Large size. That probably bc I just have it on over light hoodie or just light base layer under

Hello again Work Shop Addict Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you. How long do the batteries last low, medium and high. I believe you said they were M12 batteries? Again thank you 😊

I would like a comparison with the toughshell

Put hoodie on top of jacket it seems to help with mine I feel the heat and don't loose any

I bought mine last week and ended up returning it. First of all it was a large and my jacket fit like an extra large. That was the fully loaded jacket with the hard material. I think that the heating system is pretty much a gimmick because most people get hot in jackets and like me I am a snowmobiler and just to have it on to do things outside before a ride or showing snow I get hot anyways. I did try on the access jackets and the arms did show way smaller than the size they are. The large fit like a kid's medium and I was like who's making these jackets and the patterns they Stitch together.

Some things about the older models are actually better

I really like wearing the heavy duty hoodies also, however, the elastic around the wrists is sooo damn long! Idk why they couldn't just have made the sleeves a little bit longer. O well! Great content as usual bud!🤜🤛

Good review I was hoping to hear something about how long the battery performs😊

So far on low, I have got 23 hours out of the 3Ah battery. I have yet to have the weather to sustain high for more than an hour. I suspect 3 to 6 hours on high, but that will depend on how much heat is needed.

I got mine a week ago and disappointed in the heat output....I can't even tell its on

I could never wear one of these. I get so hot already, sometimes even in below freezing conditions. Now if they made heated gloves that attached to this jacket like kids mittens attach to kids winter coats, I'd buy the whole thing just for the gloves. Or how about M12 heated steel toe work boots. The battery could insert by your ankle. Otherwise, Milwaukee heated jackets are for supervisors and lead contractors that stand around and watch and drink coffee

I'm a journeyman HVAC installer I wear the older heated jacket during the winter, wear battery powered socks, and don't stand around all day watching. I've found if you just leave it in low all day it gets warm but not warm enough to make you sick.

I hope ryobi makes a heated jacket nor hoodie because I'm not a Milwaukee guy and I hope they make XL and XXL for us tall and big guys I'm 6'3 and weight 230 pounds

I have a video out about the Milwaukee Jacket being the most complained about item on our channel. First, you might have a faulty one, but the biggest issue that most people do is try to use this jacket over top of a hoodie or a sweatshirt. That is like trying to heat your house from the outside wall through the insulation. You need to have this jacket close to your skin and let the insulation keep the heat in. On high, you will get very warm if you wear it like this. With that said, it does not work for everyone to wear just this jacket. That is why we recommend the vest.

The real Axis jacket got discontinued for men but not for women, this one is the Toughshell one which isn’t that hot, plus if you wear any undergarment you won’t feel the heat at all. Called the factory several times about data in those jackets and neither Milwaukee or their reps know squat.

Good overview. Kinda weak they didn't put heating elements in the pocket areas and adding gussets to the back at the arm/shoulder area to allow more articulation in the arms when reaching across or bending over. The hoodie and jacket combo will get annoying in a vehicle as the additional hood will cause pressure on the back of the neck--something that's common when doing the hoodie/jacket combination. Battery placement would've been better if it were placed on the chest area instead of down low where seat belts are going to ride directly over the battery.

I agree another failure from Milwaukee.

Oh, I really do not recommend buying it, his size is very ill-fitting, and felt uncomfortable in it. I went back to Amazon for a long time and finally found the ECIFEE brand, it comes in many sizes and has a zipper on the side of the body where you can adjust the size yourself, I bought it and tried it on and it fit me especially well, now I wear it on walks and weekend camping trips, it heats up really fast and lasts a long time.

I don't think I've ever been in the cold and went... "Sure wish my shoulders and neck were warm" I have gone "sure wish my finger, toes, chest, and balls were warm."

Your fingers/toes/and other items are cold because your body temp is dropping and blood is restricted from those areas so the important parts of your body remain the correct temperature. Your neck area is one of the fastest ways to get heat into your body. Warming that area helps to warm the blood going to your brain and it will help to open the arteries to the rest of your body.

The medium is too short, the large is too baggy, feel breeze by neck, I put on Hoodie under jacket, turn the jacket and can't feel the heat .

You’re supposed to put the jacket first. Then the hoodie

Does anyone hear static?

Buy the tightest fit you can buy, because if the coils are not pressing up against the body, you are not going to get the benefit of the heat. Loose fitting wearing a sweatshirt underneath it isn't going to work. Tight, tight, tight is the way to go. Can't find one that fits this way ... don't buy it. You won't be happy. I took my XL back and got a L.

Do your selfs a favor and get a usb step up adapter, so you can use a normal power bank.
