Milwaukee M12 Axis Heated Women's Jacket Black - M - M12HJWBLACK30M

The jacket only gets a bit warm, not as obviously warm like my bosch jacket. The instructions on the buttons differ from what is online and in the manual so i'm not sure which part is being heated (3 buttons on Left side of emblem and 3 buttons on the right side). Disappointed. Overall the jacket fits fine. I'm 5'0 125lbs and ordered the med. a small would have fit better, but i knew id be wearing layers underneath. I tried to contact mikwaulkie about the jacket and no reply. bummer.

Battery is huge and uncomfortable

The jacket fits well in the shoulders and arm length but is just very wide. With the pull strings on the bottom, I was able to tighten it so that maybe the heat wouldn’t escape. I hate that you plug in the battery and charger into the jacket. It feels like I’m caring around a yeti tumbler in my pocket and it rests right on your hip area. Super uncomfortable in my opinion. Plus I can’t charge a second battery unless I have another charger.

Great Looking Quality Made Jacket

The Milwaukee Women's small black quilted heated jacket is a great looking, light weight jacket. It comes with a 3.0 ah battery and a holder/charger. You can use the holder/battery to operate the heat in the jacket and also you can charge your cell phone with it. The jacket has four pockets, two for your hands, one on the upper right chest area with a zipper that will hold a cell phone and a pocket for the battery/holder that has plenty of room for other things you may want to carry. There are two heat zones, one is the upper left and right chest areas and the second one is on the upper back area. The controller switch to operate the heat is on the upper left chest area, right below the Milwaukee name. With the quality materials on the outside and the liner, it ... MoreThe Milwaukee Women's small black quilted heated jacket is a great looking, light weight jacket.

My wife normally wears a medium but this small fits her perfectly. She plans on wearing it when the temps are between 35-45 degrees while riding her e-bike this winter.

Heats up in 2 minutes and has multiple heat level options

The Milwaukee M12 heated jacket looks stylish and fits as expected, Medium for 5.8’ female. It doesn’t look or feel bulky and it actually looks stylish enough to wear everyday. It is not heavy, so it is easy to pack. It warms up fast (2 minutes in my test) and keeps warm for a while over the top chest and top back. The battery is stored inside the jacket and doesn’t feel any heavier than a wallet or phone in your jacket pocket. It is especially useful when you first step outside from a warm building into the cold and the cold doesn’t hit you as hard in the first few minutes. This jacket will surely come handy in the gradually getting colder winter months!

It comes with a 3.0ah M12 battery and a portable quick charger that also goes into the jacket to use as a heated jacket. The quick charge component has a power output (goes to the cable attached to the jacket), mini USB in (to charge the battery using a mini USB cable) and USB outlet (to power devices like charging a phone using the M12 battery. The jacket produces different levels of heat based on your comfort, and I didn’t find the max heat overwhelming or it didn’t give a burning sensation (unlike some heated car seats!). To turn on, you press the M12 button on top of the left chest for 2 seconds. It illuminates indicating power is on. Each short press after it is on will cycle through different heat levels. To turn off, you press and hold the button for 2 seconds. When the battery runs out, it turns off by itself. I haven’t washed it yet, but for care instructions, the manual tells you to remove the battery pack and quick charger from the cable, tuck the cable inside the jacket pocket and close it with the zipper, and machine wash it in a gentle cycle with warm water. No bleach, no dry clean, tumble dry on low heat (I will likely hang dry it) and no ironing. Overall, I am quite excited to use this jacket in winter!

Nice heated jacket

The Women's Medium M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless AXIS Black Heated Quilted Jacket is great for those cold and breezy mornings! I took this coat to an outdoor sporting event. It was 53 degrees and a cold wind was constant. I will say that this jacket was warm without the heat on. It blocked the wind and kept me at the perfect temperature. When the jacket is turned on, a light indicates the jacket is warming. I did not use the jacket for the full 12 hours it said it heat for, but it was warm for the two hours I did have it on. My favorite part of this jacket is the neck warmer. It heats quickly, it is not hot but just the right temperature. The jacket itself is made of a durable material that will likely last years to come. It is also machine washable!The battery ... MoreThe Women's Medium M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless AXIS Black Heated Quilted Jacket is great for those cold and breezy mornings!

It is also machine washable!The battery is a little bulky-It is about half the size of a soda can in the left pocket. The jacket is a little shorter that I had hoped, coming right up to the belt line. The jacket heats the chest, back, and shoulders, but I felt most of the heat from the neck and chest area. I wish it had a heated area near the stomach and pockets.Overall, it's a nice jacket to have for those chilly mornings. You don't even need to the heat turned on to stay warm. I am looking forward to trying this in the cold winter months.

Not enough pockets

I was a little disappointed that the women's jacket only has 4 pockets with no pockets on the inside. Also, the sleeves don't have the velcro on the wrists. other than those issues, I do like the warmth of the jacket and the duel controls. I don't think that the price should be the same as the men's. Because the women's doesn't have the same attributes as the men's jacket. The battery is a little bulky.

Ready for Winter!

I've had my Milwaukee Women's Medium M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless AXIS Black Heated Quilted Jacket for several weeks. Waited to do the review because I wanted to see if the extreme wrinkles it has when it arrives (shrink wrapped) would fall out. They are working on it (see photo). This is a very lightweight jacket that will still keep you warm even without the heater. Size wise I got a medium thinking with layers underneath it should be a little big. Well, it might be a little too big. I'm 5'3" and 121 lbs. You can see how long it is on my arms and pretty big across the body. I think it is going to work just fine though. Nothing wrong with long sleeves in the winter and you can cinch up the bottom so air won't draft up. The heating elements work great. It kept ... MoreI've had my Milwaukee Women's Medium M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless AXIS Black Heated Quilted Jacket for several weeks.

Nothing wrong with long sleeves in the winter and you can cinch up the bottom so air won't draft up. The heating elements work great. It kept my upper chest and upper back very warm. Might just wear it around the house when I'm having shoulder pain. Love all the pockets! The battery pocket allows you to store it in front or in the back. My husband has had a Milwaukee heated jacket for years. He loves it and both the battery and heating elements are still going strong. You need to charge the battery right away. I left it overnight so not sure exactly how long it took. We do think Milwaukee heated jackets are worth the money.

Useful heated jacket

The Milwaukee heated jacket is a well-made, reasonably attractive coat. It has hand pockets and 2 other zipped pockets in addition to the area for the battery pack. The instructions for charging and re-charging the battery are clear. Having the option of heating part, or all, of the jacket is helpful. The level of heat is also adjustable so you can be comfortable while in a range of temperatures. The size, shape and weight of the battery are a negative. Though the jacket construction allows for the battery to be towards either the back or the front of the coat, neither is ideal. It always feels bulky and somewhat in the way. It would be nice if another battery design could be used that has a flatter battery, or at least a smaller overall battery pack. The current ... MoreThe Milwaukee heated jacket is a well-made, reasonably attractive coat. It has hand pockets and 2 other zipped pockets in addition to the area for the battery pack.

The current arrangement requires both the battery and the charger to be carried in the coat since the connection points for the coat and USB output are on the charger body. I feel this coat will suit more sedentary activities over active ones such as skiing.

Wall Plug for charging not included

The Milwaukee AXIS Heated Quilted Jacket is intended for cold and wet weather. This jacket is wind and water resistant. It also features an insulation layer to help keep in heat. You can even wash and dry it in your machines. The box includes the jacket, a 3Ah battery, a battery holder/charger that not only charges the battery via USB but can also power USB devices and a USB A to Micro USB cable. What it does not include it a wall plug in to provide power to the charger. I connected it to my phones rapid charger and the charge process was super slow so I moved it to a Milwaukee M12 charger I already owned and that charged the battery much faster. The heating elements in this jacket are in three zones (upper chest, upper back and shoulders).

The control panel on the front allows you to heat front/back with one button and shoulders with another. There are three levels of heat and the display will show those as well as light up the M12 logo. I found the heating elements did not get as warm as I would like. I also disliked the lack of a wall plug in for power and the slow charging speed.

warm wife = happy life

my wife is typically cold unless it’s 80 degrees and above. with fall coming up i decided this was the year to make an investment into her quality of life. it was a great decision. she’s pretty fashionable and i was worried the jacket wouldn’t be up to her standards but she likes it. she really loves the warmth! with two different heat zones and three settings per heat zone she’s able to customize her warmth experience. these heat zones are easily controlled by clicking controls on the upper left chest.it is surprisingly stylish so i commend milwaukee for keeping the fashion sensible in mind. i’m looking forward to this winter and getting some snow time in with her being cozy for hours on end. the battery, which stores in a pocket on the left side, has ample run ... Moremy wife is typically cold unless it’s 80 degrees and above. with fall coming up i decided this was the year to make an investment into her quality of life. it was a great decision. she’s pretty fashionable and i was worried the jacket wouldn’t be up to her standards but she likes it. she really loves the warmth! with two different heat zones and three settings per heat zone she’s able to customize her warmth experience. these heat zones are easily controlled by clicking controls on the upper left chest.it is surprisingly stylish so i commend milwaukee for keeping the fashion sensible in mind. i’m looking forward to this winter and getting some snow time in with her being cozy for hours on end. the battery, which stores in a pocket on the left side, has ample run time and charges overnight. the battery is slightly bulky.the only cons i have are that the exterior pockets don’t have a zipper with the exception of the battery pocket and there are no interior pockets.
