Milwaukee Heated Gear

If you ask anyone in the construction trades for a recommendation on the best value in tools and equipment, you will hear the name Milwaukee. That is because Milwaukee products are outstanding in design, performance and durability. By any definition, Milwaukee means exceptional value.

Milwaukee Tool started back in 1924. From the beginning, Milwaukee’s slogan was “Nothing But Heavy Duty.” That commitment to quality has never changed despite massive technological advancements.

Milwaukee Lets You Work Warmer

Today, Milwaukee still lets you work smarter and faster and if you are working in the colder climates, you will work warmer when you invest in Milwaukee’s heated gear.

Construction Fasteners and Tools proudly carry a full line of Milwaukee construction equipment, including Milwaukee’s heated work gear. We supply Milwaukee heated jackets, vests, hoodies, gloves and hand warmers because of Milwaukee’s unwavering commitment to the trades. That professional dedication makes us proud to supply Milwaukee’s premium brand name.

Milwaukee designers and engineers recognized the need for high-tech workwear more than a decade ago. Now Milwaukee has a clothing line involving state-of-the-art rechargeable lithium-Ion batteries. Milwaukee already pioneered the rechargeable REDLITHIUM™ battery and put it to proven use in powering cordless tools. It seemed a natural step to take that exclusive technology to power more than tools. M12™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries keep you and your workers warm in frigid conditions. After eight seasons of continuous improvements, advanced engineering and extensive research in heated gear, Milwaukee M12™ 2018 line of heated hoodies, jackets and more can keep you warm throughout your workday on a single charge.

Much of North America experiences sub-zero winter temperatures. That does not stop the construction industry, though. Workers always dressed for their climate conditions, but yesterday’s winter work clothes were bulky and lacked durability. Milwaukee saw the opportunity to solve the bulk and toughness problem by extending cordless battery technology right inside outerwear clothing.

The Milwaukee M12™ Heated Gear line involves carbon fiber heating technology powered by REDLITHIUM™ batteries. Carbon fiber heating elements reduce your need for bulky layers by generating and trapping heat across your core body areas. High-wear zone reinforcements maximize your heated gear’s utility and extend product life.

Milwaukee’s custom developed materials far outperform traditional clothing fabrics. Abrasion and tearing are common issues. Milwaukee’s patented products use trade-focused features to prevent clothing breakdowns. Heated work gear performs on the job, in the same dependable way that Milwaukee’s tools perform.

Milwaukee heated jackets and other high-tech gear let you select your temperature zone with their adjustable temperature controls. By touching a button, you get a choice of three distinct heat levels, which lets you power up on cold days and down when the weather warms.

M12 Heated TOUGHSHELL™ Jackets

The M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ jacket is Milwaukee’s signature piece of gear. Powered by an M12™ REDLITHIUM™ rechargeable battery, the M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ heated jacket uses carbon fiber elements to create and distribute heat around your body. The M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ earns its name justly. TOUGHSHELL™ stretch polyester fabrics are exceptionally strong, and they last up to five times longer than conventional work clothes material.

Milwaukee M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ heated jackets are not only warm, but they are also impervious to wind and water. You get excellent value with an M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ heated jacket. Consider these features and benefits:

The M12™ TOUGHSHELL™ jacket comes in black, MIL202B-21, or Milwaukee’s recognizable red, MIL202R-21. Sizes vary from small to 3XL.

M12™ Heated QUIETSHELL Jackets

Milwaukee’s M12™ Heated QUIETSHELL jacket takes durability and performance to a new level. The 2018 M12™ QUIETSHELLuses an advanced polyester breakthrough to lessen contact noise. As the name suggests, your M12™ Quietshell reduces noisy brushes with its outer surface while still retaining all the current high-tech features found in the Toughshell jackets.

All Milwaukee Quietshell jackets have additional insulation in the sleeves and torso area. They’re washer and dryer safe making Quietshell jackets easy to care for. Like Toughshell jackets, QUIETSHELL jackets come in kits that include the M12™ REDLITHIUM™ battery, a compact charger and a power source plug.

M12™ Heated Hoodies

The Milwaukee M12™ heated hoodie is a three-season garment solution for job-site comfort and warmth. Like all products in the Milwaukee heated clothing line, Milwaukee heated hoodies rely on M12™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries for power and performance. They are well-suited for indoor and outdoor wear.

Milwaukee heated hoodies have a fitted hood and waffle-woven thermal liner. They also use carbon fibres to deliver three heat settings of low, medium and high.

The M12™ heated hoodies come in three colours. Choose from black - MIL302B-21, gray - MIL302G-21 or red - MIL302R-21. Sizes range from small to 3XL.

M12™ Heated AXIS™ Jackets & Vests

This year, Milwaukee unveiled the new M12™ heated Axis™ jackets and vests for men and women. They are powered by the same M12™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries as other excellent Milwaukee heated gear products.

M12™ heated Axis™ jackets and vests are hybrid products. They are designed for wearing as mid-layer or outer-layer garments. This lets you choose an Axis™ lightweight vest or jacket and wear it with a heavier Toughshell or Quietshell jacket over the top. Here are benefits and features that come with your Milwaukee Axis™:

• AXIS™ RIPSTOP polyester fabrics resist tear and abrasion.
• Excellent wind and water protection.
• New heating element layouts increase your body contact for extra thermal transfer.
• Primary zones protect your chest and back while secondary zones heat your shoulders.

REDLITHIUM™ USB Heated Gloves

For 2018, Milwaukee also unveiled the REDLITHIUM™ heated gloves. These are long overdue solutions for those suffering cold hands. REDLITHIUM™ M12™ heated gloves plug into a USB port for quick charging. They can last up to six hours on a low setting, and they charge quickly. REDLITHIUM™ heated gloves are suitable for all-day use when given a quick lunch-time charge.

REDLITHIUM™ heated gloves have superior materials compared to existing heated glove technology. Here are some benefits you’ll get from REDLITHIUM™ heated gloves:

M12™ Heated Hand Warmer and LED Work Light Kit

If heated gloves are not your thing, then consider the Milwaukee M12™ heated hand warmer. As a bonus, the M12™ hand warmer comes with a handy LED work light. Both have REDLITHIUM™ technology batteries along with Milwaukee’s carbon fibre heating elements.

The M12™ hand warmer delivers heat-on-demand through a one-touch controller. It has Toughshell™ stretch polyester fabric construction for years of durable service life.

GRIDIRON™ Hooded and Traditional Jackets

Milwaukee’s GRIDIRON™ traditional and hooded jackets are mainstays on many construction sites. They are engineered to survive harsh conditions and outlast nature’s elements. GRIDIRON™ jackets are the warmest solution outside of heated gear.

The key to GRIDIRON™ design is the NO DAYS OFF™ weather protection concept. The polyester material won’t get wet and freeze as inferior materials will. GRIDIRON™ jackets also have FREEFLEX™ construction that lets you stretch easily. Articulated elbows also add to flexibility. There are beneficial features you get with a Milwaukee GRIDIRON™ jacket:

• GIRDIRON™ jackets are three times tougher than 12-ounce cotton duck materials.
• They are 25 percent lighter than regular cotton duck and have better flexibility.
• NO DAYS OFF™ weather protection is far superior to wind and rain than cotton.
• All GRIDIRON™ jackets have four exterior pockets and one interior zipped pocket.

Another great feature with Milwaukee GRIDIRON™ jackets is that no break-in time is required. Because of the FREEFLEX construction, a new GRIDIRON™ jacket feels like an old friend from the moment you put it on. You also get an exterior storm flap and a drop tail extension for added weather protection. Milwaukee GRIDIRON™ jackets come in black, sizes S to 3XL, in hooded, MIL252B, or traditional, MIL253B, styles.

WORKSKIN™ Mid-weight Base Layers

Milwaukee’s WORKSKIN™ mid-weight base layers are ideal undergarments offering skin contact protection. Fast wicking sweat zones accelerate drying time and regulate your body temperature. As well, WORKSKIN™ base layers have mesh under the arms and across the back.

Durable and long-lasting body fabrics extend the product life. They resist pilling and insulate your core without overheating. With Milwaukee’s WORKSKIN™ base layers you get added benefits from seamless shoulders, no-slip cuffs and a drop-tailed back extension. WORKSKIN™ shirts are available in gray, MIA410G. Sizes range to 2XL.

Milwaukee Hats

Although Milwaukee’s weather gear has a wide assortment of jackets, vests, hoodies and base layers, there is no shortage of hat options available. Most construction sites have hard hat requirements, so Milwaukee takes this into account for most hat designs. Milwaukee hats are hard hat compatible. These are some choices you have in the Milwaukee hat product line:

• Fleece Lined and Knit Cuffed Beanies: Milwaukee’s interior fleece band wraps around your ears and forehead. This provides extra warmth and moisture wicking in addition to the beanie style construction. Beanies from Milwaukee are 98% polyester and 2% spandex which makes them resist pilling and snagging to extend product life. Fleece lined beanies are available in red - MIA502R, gray - MIA502G or black - MIA502B. Knit cuffed beanies are available in red - MIA503R, black - MIA503B or high-visibility chartreuse - MIA503HV.

The jobsite-ready construction gives you long-lasting fabric that provides superior insulation while resisting pilling and fighting odours. Milwaukee’s WORKSKIN™ balaclavas are low profile and work under all hard hats. Available in black, MIA421B.
• WORKSKIN™ Cold Weather Hardhat Liner: Milwaukee’s hard hat liners use proven WORKSKIN™ technology to wick moisture and accelerate drying. The breathable fabric moves moisture from your hair and neck, allowing sweaty regions to stay dry and warm. Available in black, MIA422B.
