To combat extreme weather conditions, Milwaukee introduced the M12 Heated Axis Layering System. The new layering system is part of Milwaukee's Heated Gear line and is designed to withstand the heaviest rain and snow conditions. Using the M12 Heated Axis Jacket as the primary source of heat, users can complete the system by adding an outer shell—either the Hydrobreak Rain Shell or Gridirion Work Shell.
The Hydrobreak Rain Shell provides 100% waterproof jobsite protection. With ripstop polyester for tear and abrasion resistance, polyurethane laminate providing 10K mm waterproofness, and an inner printed pattern for comfort and breathability, the Hydrobreak Rain Shell is jobsite durable and built for rain. Velcro enclosures on the front zipper, pockets and cuffs provide additional protection from rain, while a drop-tail extended back and standing collar with an adjustable hood ensures users all-day protection from the elements.
Additionally, users can combine the Gridiron Work Shell with the M12 Heated Axis Jacket to survive extreme cold on the jobsite. With 3X the durability and 25% less bulk, the Gridiron Work Shell offers 60G insulation throughout the body and 40G insulation throughout the sleeves. When pairing the Axis with the shell, all components of the M12 Heated Axis Layering system are optimized with pass-thru access to heat controls on both shells, offering 3X faster heat with 3 heat settings. The Hydrobreak Rain Shell can also be worn as a standalone shell apart from the M12 Heated Axis Layering System.
Milwaukee Heated Gear is powered by M12 Rredlithium Battery Technology and distributes heat across core body areas. Durable carbon fiber heating elements woven in between rugged exterior materials and thermal insulating liners generate and maintain heat to reduce the need for bulky layers. Three heat settings (high, medium, low) allow the user to select the right amount of warmth for all weather conditions. All M12 heated jackets, vests, hoodies and hand warmers are fully machine washable and dryable for extended use.
