Dewalt has been making tools since the 1920s, so it's no surprise that they now have a heated jacket line. These work jackets provide hours of core body warmth and are built to stand up to the toughest jobsite conditions.
Feature Highlights
The dewalt jacket has 5 heating zones that cover the left and right chest areas, upper back and both upper arms. The heating elements heat up to 131deg within a couple of minutes, so you'll be warm without overheating. It also features a fleece lining that helps to retain the heat, making it an ideal choice for cold weather.
Battery Pack & Buttons
The jacket has an LED controller that depicts 3 temperature settings (high, medium and low). You can click once to select low, twice for medium and three times for high.
Batteries are the heart of any heated jacket, so it's important to choose a battery that's durable and powerful. A lithium battery is a good choice because it's lightweight and has excellent power density. It should last for a long time and be easily recharged.
Water Resistance & Insulation
Heated jackets should be made from water-resistant material to prevent them from getting damp in wet or snowy weather. It's also important to make sure the heating element is safe and lightweight, so it doesn't damage your skin or clothing. Most heated jackets use carbon fiber or steel plates for their heating elements. A carbon fiber option is a more flexible option, but it may be more expensive than steel.
