Heated vests

[Jig Man]

I’m thinking about getting one but have no experience with them.  No one in my area has any that I can try on.

 

Do any of you have any experience with them.  I have no brand preference.  I want to know about fit and functionality.

 

Thanks for any feedback.

Don't have personal experience. I have a lot of customers that use the Milwaukee vests and love them. I have a buddy who is a hunter and he made his own using hand warmers and sewing in pockets. 

 

I'm under thee impression that if you keep the heart warm, it will keep the body warm.

I have one that I bought for riding in cold weather on my motorcycle. I don't remember the brand name--Gerbing, maybe..., but it works great. I bought it on line. I did try them out for size in a local motorcycle store, and that was a good thing. If I had bought based on the sizes stated in their ads, the vest never would have fit. I ended up with a 2xl. I wear an xl in most shirts and jackets. Don't waste your money on a cheap one.
