Milwaukee WORKSKIN USB Rechargeable Midweight Base Layer Shirt 405B-21L

[@davesdiversions8078]

This shirt definitely looks like it could help keep the chill away on a cold day. It should come in handy in the following months. Thanks for the review.

[@FernbarkFrist]

I would like to apologize for not taking this out of the box in the woods and trying it without reading the directions. And further apologize for wearing it for a week to get a true feeling about how it works. And effusively apologize for washing it according to the directions to see if there were any problems. I am incapable of "Keeping It Real".

Setting out in the hunting strand..... This would be awesome. Do they offer a second controller and additional batteries? I am often sitting out in the stand for more than 3 hours???

[@FernbarkFrist]

You can buy another controller and more batteries. They are pretty proud of them. I have some because I have the flashlights and gloves that use the same thing. Actually, I prefer their heated vest. It uses the 12v batteries and you get way more heat and a longer run time. I have been using it for about three years and it is my favorite piece of heated gear.

[@BillGoudy]

@@FernbarkFrist Thank you, Fernbark... This is good to know. I will look into it further!!! ;-)

[@SmittyMRE]

Pocket for “A second battery”? As a imprudent man: I was thinking snacks.

[@FernbarkFrist]

You should pack some chocolate in your nice $100 heated tee shirt.

[@ptipalo]

Which size shirt are you wearing in the video?

[@chowcman]

You said charge the dead battery while using the 2nd battery. LOL. Only if you have other Milwaukee Stick battery charger. I just bought one for myself and yes they are comfortable like you said. I didn't need to have mine turn on much as it is warm by itself.

[@FernbarkFrist]

I have a few other Milwaukee products, so I have a few of the battery holders, but yes, you are correct. It would be tough if this was your only item.

[@iamlou6]

Does this work skin also size larger than normal like their jackets

[@FernbarkFrist]

No, it fit me pretty good. But I just got their new heated vest which fits bigger, and their new heated sweatshirt which is smaller. No consistency.

[@themiwoodsman7222]

I was eye balling the shirt at the store last week, I know the jackets work well. Sure would be nice to have lol Atb john

[@FernbarkFrist]

It is pretty nice. It is supposed to get below 32 this weekend. I will have to give it a real test.

[@johnverna9693]

And which size are you wearing?? Thanks

[@FernbarkFrist]

Large

[@dubc3615]

Getting futuristic I see I thought you were gonna bust out some nike shoes that self dried! This shirt seems awesome but like you said needs an outer layer to capture that heat. For those stuck in the cold all day for work I bet this is a welcomed device. Nice Review the thermo pics are great and really showcase heater placement.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Well, the shirt is labeled as a Base Layer. It is the first step in a layered system. This first layer has heated front and back and fleece lined sleeves. Then you layer up like any one would with the appropriate next layer or two of of cloths depending on the weather.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Great review Fernbark. That would come in handy, in my older age. Excellent job buddy 🤝

[@FernbarkFrist]

Heck yeah. You have to stay warm. You are only two years older than me. Don't be acting old on me!!

[@tracyphillips3325]

@@FernbarkFrist , okay deal 🤝

[@Sgten01]

I just got it and returned it, doesn't heat at all for what you pay for it. They tested a few others instore and yeah all of them were crap. DONT BUY!

[@stevegaines3590]

i live in Ohio & am getting a motorcycle soon & am buying heated gear, Safe & Warm out of England... to wear that plugs into the bike battery..... i don't want to have to use batteries to run it....they cost too much & won't last long....i don't trust them....

[@dkay636]

I recommend buying one size smaller. Believe me

[@leah890]

Looks like a great product for a winter ride.

[@FernbarkFrist]

It is! Probably the last time anyone will see this shirt as it will have two or more layers over the top of it from now on.

[@Splinter2785]

You tell us your height, weight, and how the shirt fits you but you never say what size the shirt is. Had you said something like "my measurements are x and y and I'm wearing a size medium and it's kinda tight", it would have been useful information. Also, it seems like a horrible design to have the battery pocket and power button where its at. If you have to wear a tool belt at work like I do, that's the last place you would want that stuff.

[@FernbarkFrist]

Sorry, It is a large. Plus, I change the heat level all the time bumping into stuff. Still, it is a nice shirt.

@@FernbarkFrist You are hilarious 🤣

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Watching KZbin videos has nothing yo do with not wanting to read directions at least for me it's because I want to learn how the product works

[@truckermre]

Always tuck my shirt in, especially in winter. Wind blowing up your shirt defeats purpose... it’s a pass for me... and by pass, I mean fail?

[@FernbarkFrist]

I also prefer a tucked shirt. Your Canadian system of measurements eludes me. Pass is Fail????

[@truckermre]

@@FernbarkFrist ‘I’ll pass on buying this, because it’s a fail’ maybe? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@tracemiller1519]

Lol you will be able to get it out after a little bit of swearing 😂 So when you are charging this thing and the light is blinking green, what does that mean? TIA

[@FernbarkFrist]

Blinking green means almost charged up.

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Wearing battery powered clothing makes me nervous...🌧💧🌧💧🌧💧

[@FernbarkFrist]

Why? I have been wearing it for five years. It is 12 volts or less DC current.

[@jknewb6276]

You have peeked my interest I'm outside a good 4-8 hours a day per week plowing snow but also thinking it will be to hot. I find myself more times that not stripping clothes off. Having said that if you work outside and don't move whatsoever then it might be good. Send it to me I'll let ya know. 😜

[@FernbarkFrist]

It's in the mail, it is almost their. Just keep checking. I like the shirt because the body of the shirt is moisture wicking material that will keep you drier and warmer. The thick sleeves are nice too.

[@jknewb6276]

@@FernbarkFrist I was just talking to my buddy about it he has a Simi version. Like he said I could always just un plug the heat element and wouldn't have to strip clothes off. And turn it on as needed. Ima look into this shirt thanks for sharing Fernbark!

[@nieldcreek2098]

If you can’t tuck it in then it’s a NO GO

[@FernbarkFrist]

it is a real problem for me.

[@wickedcrypto6004]

Watching this video because I not very big on reading directions. lol I just want to know if this is worth buying.

[@perrybeede9498]

Does anyone have a link for a new/extra power source charger for these?

[@toddmumford2082]

Just put a peg on control wire zip up pocket and wash

[@fonkapollo]

My wife is two inches taller and 40lbs less than you, would it fit her? It’s a good gift idea for the women here in the upper Midwest (WI&MN), cuz the men don’t need/use them. 🤣Champions thrive in the cold.

[@FernbarkFrist]

It might fit her. Champions might thrive in the cold, but smart people leave it behind.

[@glennnichols4220]

Yes I also appreciate the review. Where I live it gets brutal cold. It looks like I will be lokong elsewhere. Not enough thought into this Milwaukee product.

[@FernbarkFrist]

I am curious what your major objection to this base layer garment would be?

[@nicholasdumoulin7319]

Why is my battery blinking green while it’s charging though?

[@FernbarkFrist]

It does that when it is almost fully charged, but not completely charged.

[@sstalon]

Have you ever tried the m12 heated jacket or vest over it? Would that be over kill?

[@FernbarkFrist]

I have and it depends on how cold it is. If it is really cold, I would do both. It gets pretty warm, and you can always shut one off if you get too hot. Plus, the base layer is really nice even if you don't have a battery in it. I really love the insulated sleeves.

[@sstalon]

@@FernbarkFrist i was thinking of using this for snowboarding, do you think the battery would be uncomfortable with my snowboard pants and jacket over this Milwaukee base layer?
