I shoot a vertical bow and I hate overdressing for late season bow- I wear a T-shirt under it and I'm comfortable all day with two batteries. The battery will last about 5-1/2 hours on low... I've never had it on high. The M12 battery pocket location is in a position where it doesn't interfere or even seem like it's there, the other pockets are super deep. I where it as a base layer for gun if it gets that cold and where a blaze vest shell over it. Important: Here's the way to get one- you buy your wife and/or significant other one first- they will tell you how wonderful it is and then you say... do you think I would like it.

I have had the vest for years...converted to m-18 batteries and I have 5 1.5ah M-18 that I use for it (I have lots of M-18 tools). I really did not take it hunting the past few years. Great around town and if it is cold inside in the am. It is still boxed up this year, so far.

I never got cold even running my line at 42 below zero one time. Blood thinners changed all that!
Thanks for this thread and I am heading to get one today! Tired of being cold in my old age…lol
Already have a bunch of batteries.

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I bought my wife a heated vest last year for her outdoor school activities in the late fall and winter.
It is not a Milwaukie, but a vest of the net, it uses flat rechargeable phone pack or tablet batteries that last all day long on medium, I don't believe she has ever had it on high I just got her a larger one and its doing really well and she loves it under her jacket, it was about $80.00 if I remember right and came with its own battery, I just got her a large one so she had two, then now this bigger one.
Probably get me one for dog hunting in the winter now !!
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
