DIY Heated Jacket USB powered - CONVERT ANY COAT

[@nathanclaytor4083]

Another option is to buy a coat with a zip in zip out liner to install all the heat panels without having to cut anything which also allows you to use your coat through warmer seasons. Vests are a good option. Don’t forget to put your chocolate bar in a non heated pocket, I know someone who might have done that.👍⚡️

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great points

[@trxtech3010]

Okay now make a Cooled jacket for the Summer lol. Cool stuff mam!

[@jhartford58]

Quite genius! Never thought a DIY heated jacket was this easy

[@farmerjon_athan]

I can't thank you enough. Colder weather is here and I've been looking at heated jackets so I can keep riding the bike without putting on/taking off multiple layers throughout my ride and stops. But, I refuse to pay for a cheap one from amazon or expensive one from Milwaukee. Will be starting this project today.

[@sixtyfiveford]

One small thing I think I'm going to do: I think I'm loosing heat out of the back of the jacket as the shell is thin. I think putting a extra piece of fabric, thin insulation or maybe piece of reflective blanket on the backside of the heating element would help retain that heat.

[@BruceLyeg]

Maybe a piece of material from one of those silver windshield shades@@sixtyfiveford

[@r7kelley553]

@@BruceLyeg a piece of one of those emergency Mylar heating blankets would probably work really good. Its thin and it holds heat. As long as it doesn't crinkle to loud lol

[@opichocal]

Great idea! I put a 12v heated seat pad stuffed inside my jacket for long motorcycle rides. Best $10 I ever spent👍

[@strongandco]

You seem to be informed about most stuff but in case you hadn't come across this, the adhesive on iron on hem tape seems to be (and I'm pretty sure is) the same as hot melt glue and might make a good alternative to shoe goo - I was thinking you could have glued the on/off button on with it. (In my experience It's probably stronger at bonding fabric than most other uses). But yeah, $200 for a heated work jacket when you can make your own for around $20-$40, you'd be crazy not to. Great idea!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Good idea!

[@RonNVids]

That last shot was worth the whole video :)

[@CigaretteTricks]

Bout to buy 3 and put them all in one jacket 😂 pockets full of battery banks, I’m gonna be glowing

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

Did this years ago with stick-on velcro strips, and it worked fine, plus the pads were removable. You're actually still working too hard! No cutting or modification of the jacket required. You can get 'permanent' stick-on velcro that you can still remove later if you really want to, but put the soft side on the jacket and the prickly side on the heaters, and the jacket will be nice with or without them in place.

[@Krankie_V]

I swear to God there is nothing that this man cannot do or build.

[@haqthat]

You amaze me with every new video! I talk about your videos a LOT. I've also copied probably 1/2 of what you shown us for my every day life. Man oh man, just thank you!

[@sixtyfiveford]

That is awesome!

[@garymgb5371]

I don't know what's better - your video content, or seeing Ginger at the end.

[@JimLambier]

Great idea! I just ordered a similar product from Amazon. The one you listed shows as sold out so I'm guessing that a lot of us liked your idea. My son worked as a chimney sweep and in the winter he was working up on snow covered roofs. He bought one of the commercial heated jackets and absolutely loves it. I was tempted to get one but couldn't justify the expense....until now.

[@yodasbff3395]

The heated cost is a very clever idea. 👍 Ginger looks rather dapper in that coat. Although she is so beautiful she would look good in anything. 😊

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you! 😊

[@jacksmith2315]

Love the pooch wearing the jacket at the end haha. Cool little project. The reason those milwaukee, dewalt, etc jackets dont seem to work all that good, when you wear them, its obviously cold out, when its cold out, you wear a hoodie or something heavy under the jacket, now you that hoodie blocking the heat from getting to your core. The vests are the best because they sit tight on your body and you put a heavy jacket over them so it holds all the heat in. But definitely the best is making your own. Cool project man.

[@ProleDaddy]

And my working class hero is at it again. Cheers, my guy.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks.

[@280zone]

Ginger is sooo tired of your shenanigans. But I appreciate this project.

[@960wattoffgridrv]

I was fortunate to get a M12 heated jacket as a Christmas gift years ago. I don't use it very often. But in those extremely cold temperatures during the winter. I wear the heated jacket under my larger winter coat and it's toasty even in -40c wind chill! I just got a pair of heated work gloves for Christmas last month and they're great for working on things outside or when I'm splitting firewood in the cold. the gloves are not so great on bike rides in the bitter cold. But I plan to make a pair of mitts to fit over the gloves to help reduce the harshly cold wind off my hands!

[@2chipped]

Very nice, this could be used for keeping caulk from freezing etc. I have 6 Milwaukee coats/hoodies, bought on sale/July clearance/BF for $120 or less. Excellent job!

[@DAS-Videos]

Great idea. And Ginger always wanted her own heated coat 🙂

[@sixtyfiveford]

Absolutely.

[@muchristian]

Good timing on this! I have a buddy who has been wanting one for a while but didn't want to drop the coin.

[@fraydnot]

Might need to warn about attempting to fly on airlines, LOL. Neat idea. Thanks for the upload

[@cayankeelord3730]

What a great friend you have with the dog. We can tell you both enjoy each others company. You treat him well and he minds you in response. Good to see.

[@Rickmakes]

I don't have a heated jacket but I have a few heated vests. They are nice because you can put then under whatever coat you want. Needless to say this technique could work on a vest as well. Love Shoe Goo. I need to buy some. Last time I got E6000 but I like Shoe Goo a little better.

[@gcranch9913]

Should have faced the ones near the pockets toward the pocket to warm your hands in the pocket. Your lower torso doesnt seem to get that cold. Another innovative and smart idea

[@rambojackson9082]

I once thought of doing this by salvaging the heater element from a heated car seat from a car in the junk yard... can get seats at a local junkyard for under 50 each. Then suply it with 12 volts. This is alot nicer way of making one of these. Thanks

[@supermick83]

Great video👍 Simplifying an often overcomplicated design. Just a quick idea, before you install heated pads you could silicone protect the jacket to make it completely waterproof. It's a straight forward process. Then you'll have the ultimate winter jacket.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Good idea. I picked up a few more of these heat kits and am going to do more of my jackets.

[@vegasfordguy]

Great idea to save some $$$. Ginger looks so classy in her new heated jacket!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Except when I was in a truck cab I froze myself in an uncouth manner on machines with no cab and no heat with NO warm clothes. My WW-2 SeaBee Uncle was an iron worker and had Carhartt coveralls and coats. I got a set of insulateds from a cousin when his brother retired and between them and a hoodie I never did even think of a chill. I even had my Army field jacket with liner but it was nothing against the Carhartts. Now I sit inside and look at the fire in the stove and wait till I can mow grass again. You need to make Ginger a jacket. God Bless and a Brand New Year for yall! And I had a hooded short Carhartt coat for concrete hauling!

[@sixtyfiveford]

I'm pretty toasty when I throw on my insulated coveralls.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

A was at the crusher because everything had a dry cab but the dozer and I was on a loader, haul truck or grader most of the time.@@sixtyfiveford

[@dustinoutlaw9453]

Ironworker here- we have been known to wear multiple pairs of pantyhose along with base 1 thru 4 underarmor- I've never owned anything heated like this- going to have to invest and make one! Thank you for the awesome videos

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I froze or baked most of my life before dry cabs except in trucks but the old Macks would make an oven out of a cooler. Try pouring curb mix looking into the sun. A SW L O W go with a curbing machine and a really stiff mix and a long time. I got a thermometer and coming back to get another load with every window open it was 124 degrees running 55. Crusher life was unreal. The only thing without a dry cab was a D6R LGP and it was an open cab. I ran a 980G and a 115 Z-IV or a rigid frame truck. All had heaters, a.c and a radio I never listened to. Draglines would freeze you solid. Never owned Carhartts till I didn't need them and those were given to me. I started in 68 or 69 on a road job pulling a roller. Been a long time.@@dustinoutlaw9453

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

That's so cool, I would never spend the money on a heated jacket but this is perfect.

[@Palmit_]

good jacket at barely any cost. i like it. .. but.. you know i was only waiting for her, Ginger! worlds bestest companion. ❤

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

The dog with the jacket on is totally hilarious. Thank you.

[@ericvaughn1126]

Holy heated hunting, Batman! Ginger in the coat at the end was killing me. She did not seem amused, but I thought she was actually going to say something when she started licking her chops! 😂

[@jafinch78]

Wondering about the most cost effective safe heated steering wheel upgrade? Neat build! Down lining, if you're not allergic to, heats up the quickest seems and you might be able to find from a second hand store to pack in while at it since that coat looks thin. I've picked up a few to use as inner liners that fit well as layers and wouldn't hold up on the outside since need cotton or something that doesn't go up in flames quick (at least I do need) or tear up seems. Polyfleece and puffer fill works, though down seems better. Wonder what fabric, maybe like an EMF related fabric would distribute the heat better while at is as well?

[@MikeyMack303]

That is so great! I'll get to making one of those asap! Thanks for sharing!

[@olamabambi4193]

Dont you know the dog can’t break the dog code by talking to you 😂 Beautiful job on the jacket. 👏👏🙌

Bless you both for that last part. I think she likes it.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Hey Thanks.

[@UrBasicGuy]

Nice, i despise being cold which leads to being uncomfortable and affecting ones ability to focus. Only problem is that's not likely going to end well when it needs to be washed.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Glad you liked it!

[@2LateIWon]

Great idea love it When I did my diy heated bleacher seat. I had trouble with any glue sticking to the silicon so sewing is probably your best bet anyways great video love it

[@sixtyfiveford]

I noticed a few of these buttons have a preinstalled fabric overlapping the back. This would help glue it. 10 years ago I did heated seats in my SUV with these types of pads. They were way bigger and tried to work something out that would work for a jacket. Problem was the 12volts and the current draw for those made it unfeasible to power with a battery. I remember you doing that seat and didn't know they had made something small and usb powered like this, so credit is due there for you. Thanks! These have been on my wish list forever and they popped in my head while doing a China Aliexpress order a few months back(still warm outside). They were only $5 so I bought a couple. If anyone else reads this go check out his video on these in a seat kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIHae5umpcx3abcsi=F7rB7kMAwkLNzFpK

My wife got me Bluetooth app controlled, heated insoles. I put them in the shoes I commute in instead of my steel toes and they are great! They will parboil your feet on high. Max temp is 158 degrees.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I know its going to be a good video when I see you break out the shoe goop.. hey Moe, years ago I saw an inventor on tv in Paris make a heated helmet, it had a little alcohol burner that preheated the air the user breathed that allowed him to walk around outside only in longjohns and not get cold. I always wanted to make a suit to wear for heat that had little tubes to run ice water through. and wear an ice cooler on my back to hold the ice water and pump.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Very cool

Thanks for the support. You Rock!

[@Sylvan_dB]

5v 2a means 10 watts. That's not much heat. Yours have survived 18v? 13 watt is 30% more power, or 30% more heat! On the 10ah USB powerbank, usually that is at the nominal 3.7v for an NMC lithium cell, or 37 watt hours. Divided by 10 watts results in 3.7 hours at full power from the powerbank.

[@Isaac-47517]

practical, frugal, classy, just a bit of sweet Ginger , ahh recipe for success. Also could call it recipe for a " Hot Pocket" of the jacket world. Maybe pick up a contract, '65 Ford Burlington Hot Pocket. Oretty sure the dark age version used some form of rodent/entree after you reach shelter with fire. #calidum criceta sinum

[@mckinky8912]

I have these pads and unfortunately they don't heat up as much as I need them to for motorcycle riding.. So next step would be to replace the on/off switch with a 12v controller, meaning I would then need to hook it up to some 12v system, in my case fused line to my motorcycle battery. However you can buy/use an adapter for 12v batteries thus getting more heat from these pads. Of course there may be dangers of producing too much heat but I'm waiting on a 12v controller to see how well these pads will preform. Thanks for the idea!

[@cptsmoke0001]

Hmm, give me idea. Get the elements and make Heated lunch box for lunch 😋

You can absolutely sew an inside seam using an upholstery hook needle

A simple usb extension cord and you could plug your jacket into your utv or motorcycle, or if you don’t want to fix the heat in your truck.

Looks like they make heated socks, boots, shoes, slippers... Could probably adapt the same idea and make your own
