“In 2010, Milwaukee introduced the first heated jacket showcasing our dedication to disruptive innovation across the entire job site,” explains Chris Parker, Senior Product Manager, “through our relentless commitment to user-focused research and design, the common frustrations of lack of warmth and heat inconsistency became clear opportunities for improvement. Paired with our continued investment in technology, Milwaukee is introducing an evolved portfolio of jackets, vests, and power source.”
