Makita has released its latest heated jacket, helping to protect wearers against the elements. Powered by the reliable 18V LXT battery, this new warm and stylish jacket is a must-have for cold, harsh jobsite environments, or for outdoor leisure in the cold winter months.

The latest DCJ205 heated jacket is here to offer maximum comfort and durability. Thanks to the five heating zones, users benefit from continuous warmth in the chest and back areas while also having control over the three heat level settings. The powerful 18V LXT battery offers even longer continuous runtimes, with a fully charged battery lasting seven hours on the highest setting, 11 hours on medium, and 29 hours on low - when powered by the BL1850B 5.0Ah battery. Customers can use existing batteries or purchase one with the DCJ205 as a kit.

The jacket’s olive coloured, polyester outer lining makes it waterproof and windproof, while the inner fleece lining helps keep the user warm and comfortable even with the power off. Additionally, it's fully washable and dryable, so cleaning is therefore easy and hassle-free without worry of damaging its heating capabilities.

vIt's also equipped with a two-way zip, offering more flexibility when wearing a tool belt, benefits from the inclusion of six pockets and is available in a range of sizes, from M to 2XL.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita, said: ‘We're very excited to be releasing our new LXT heated jacket. We understand the harsh conditions that our customers are faced with during the colder months, and have designed this product with comfort, durability and style in mind. Even without the aid of our LXT battery, this jacket is an excellent product that'll prove invaluable both on site as well as in other outdoors environments.”
