Work Clothing & Footwear Reviews & Buying Guides

We looked at the best work boots to determine which types of work boots make for the most comfortable footwear for various tradesmen and applications. In the end, technology has made several jumps to provide both durability and comfort for workmen and women who spend a lot of time on their feet. We also tested the best heated jacket to find which represented the best value and had optimal heating characteristics. After testing nearly every major brand on the market—for women and men—we have a very thorough perspective on these valuable pieces of heated gear! Another often overlooked piece of workwear includes shirts, work pants, shorts, and the best work gloves. We get these in regularly from manufacturers with decades of experience fitting tradesmen with durable, reliable work clothes.

Milwaukee Black High Visibility Heated Jackets

by Clint DeBoer

At the Milwaukee New Tool event, Cole Conrad, tasked with growing the company’s heated jacket business, demoed the newest product. We reviewed the original M12 Heated Jacket remember requesting a black version two years ago, and Milwaukee came through – and then some. The new models include a black jacket and the new High Visibility model. New features include woven fleece into the lining of the jacket to make them naturally warmer – even before adding the M12-generated heat source. The front icon has also been changed to include a hand icon that provides separately zoned heat to the pockets. This is independent from the core heating zones. In this way, the pockets and core can be independently set to high or low heat.

Milwaukee Realtree AP Camo M12 Heated Jacket Review

by Clint DeBoer

We reviewed the Milwaukee M12 Heated Jacket earlier this year and found it to be an exceptionally warm, extremely durable and comfortable jacket that withstood a lot of our outdoor testing. The jacket can be purchased as a kit, or as a separate SKU for those who already have a set of M12 batteries and a charger. While we loved the jacket, we thought it would be nice to see Milwaukee offer it in something other than their trademark Red color. Now they do. And it’s camo!
