Milwaukee’s M12 Cordless Heated Jacket isn’t the only battery-heated outerwear around, but it’s “certainly the first that uses a power-tool battery.” Fueled by Milwaukee’s new M12 Red Lithium battery, the performance-fit coat can provide up to six hours of heat on a wintery day. “Carbon-fiber heating elements” are sewn directly into the wind- and water-resistant fabric to distribute warmth evenly. Three heat settings are available—ranging from “minor warm-up to frostbite-fighting furnace.”
$170 with battery, milwaukeetool.com
