Makita offers the 18V LXT Heated Vest (DCV202ZL) to keep the cold from affecting professionals wherever heat is needed. In addition to powering the expanding line-up of 18V cordless tools and accessories, Makita 18V batteries can help keep users warm in cold, harsh jobsite conditions.
“When comparing previous heated vests, enhanced comfort takes center stage for our 18-volt LXT Heated Vest,” said Benjamin Alvarado, product manager, drilling, fastening and expansion, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “Featuring a plush fleece lining and 4 adjustable heat zones, this vest will be your best friend while enduring the cold.”
The DCV202ZL utilizes Makita 18V LXT batteries that can provide heat for up to 35 hours using one fully charged 6.0Ah LXT battery on low setting (battery not included). Users can also keep their portable electronic devices charged-up with the on-board 2.4-amp USB power port.
The Heated Vest has three color-coded heat settings (high-red/medium-white/low-blue) for heating control to adjust to changing weather conditions. It has four pockets including left chest, side pockets (left and right) and a back pocket at the waist.
The battery holder features an integrated belt clip that holds a Makita 18V battery on a user’s waist belt (battery not included). The upgraded interior fleece lining features warmth retention during power off. The outer shell is made of polyester, while the sides are made of stretchable polyurethane. The Heated Vest is machine washable and dryable when you remove the battery holder and battery (battery not included).
