Milwaukee 2026 Heated Gear: HEXON Heat Technology Brings Faster, Smarter Warmth

Milwaukee M12 Men’s Heated Hoodie

Just like the women’s version, the men’s heated hoodie provides fast, consistent warmth with two heat zones across the chest and back, three adjustable heat levels, and a rugged design that’s built to last. Powered by Milwaukee’s new HEXON Heat Technology™, it stays warmer for longer, heats up faster than ever, and delivers greater coverage throughout the garment for true comfort in harsh conditions. Whether you’re working outside in freezing temperatures or tackling projects in drafty indoor spaces, the hoodie adapts to your environment and delivers effective warmth without compromising mobility.

Constructed from a ground-up developed cotton and polyester fleece blend with a warm jersey lining, this hoodie balances durability with comfort, making it suitable as either a mid-layer or exterior layer. A three-panel hood with hidden drawcords keeps cords tucked safely away on the job, while a full-zip design to the chin provides extra protection against wind. The hidden battery pass-thru pocket allows placement in the front or back depending on preference, while two large hand pockets and a zippered pass-thru pocket add practical storage. Designed with a standard fit that provides a clean look without being too tight or too loose, it also gives users the option to size up for a more relaxed fit. Washer- and dryer-safe construction ensures the hoodie is as easy to care for as it is to wear.

The M12 Heated Hoodie delivers up to eight hours of run-time on low, four on medium, and two on high, powered by any M12 REDLITHIUM battery. It is offered as a complete kit with an M12 CP2.0 battery, a lithium-ion charger, and a power source packaged together in a case, but is also available as a bare tool for users who already have the M12 platform. This year Milwaukee expanded the color range as well, making the hoodie available in five options—classic black, sleek grey, deep navy, bold red, and crisp blue. Fully compatible with all M12 batteries and the Heated Gear Power Source with App Control, this hoodie is one of the most versatile, job-ready pieces in the 2026 lineup.

Milwaukee Heated Winter Gloves Kit
(M700B-21)

Cold hands slow down precision work, and Milwaukee solves that problem with heated winter gloves powered by REDLITHIUM USB batteries. Designed with HEXON Heat Technology, these gloves place heating elements across the back of the hands and fingers to provide even warmth where it’s needed most without sacrificing dexterity. Optimized insulation adds extra warmth on the back of the hand while reducing bulk in the palms, giving users the ability to grip tools and materials securely. Built from durable GRIDIRON ripstop fabric with reinforced palms and thumbs, the gloves are tough enough for harsh jobsite conditions while still delivering comfort throughout long shifts.

The exterior shell is wind and water resistant to protect against extreme cold, and adjustable extended cuffs help keep heat inside while blocking out the elements. Inside, the optimized lining efficiently transfers heat across the coverage zones for maximum performance. Each glove features a low-profile battery pocket positioned on the back of the wrist, allowing for a full range of motion while keeping the power source secure. Heat settings are controlled with an easy-access LED controller on the cuff, offering high, medium, and low modes to match changing environments.

For usability, Milwaukee integrates SMARTSWIPE touchscreen compatibility into the index fingers and thumbs, so phones and tablets can be operated without removing the gloves. Entry assist tabs make pulling them on and off easier, pairing clips keep them together when not in use, and a built-in terry cloth wipe adds practicality in the field. With durable construction, jobsite-ready reinforcements, and thoughtful design touches, these gloves are more than just heated—they’re purpose-built for the trades.

The dedicated power system provides up to eight hours of run-time, with approximately two hours on high, four on medium, and eight on low. The kit includes one pair of heated winter gloves, two 2.0Ah heated glove batteries, and two USB-C cords for convenient recharging. With the fastest heat-up time of under two minutes and forty times more coverage than previous heated gloves, the Milwaukee Heated Winter Gloves Kit is built to handle extreme cold while keeping your hands functional and protected all day long.

Milwaukee Heated Work Glove Liners Kit
(M701B-21)

For those who prefer layering, Milwaukee’s Heated Work Glove Liners provide discreet, flexible warmth without bulk. These slim liners are designed to be worn underneath cut-resistant or insulated work gloves, allowing users to pair best-in-class heat technology with the gloves they already rely on. Powered by HEXON Heat Technology, the liners place heating elements across the back of the hands and fingers to deliver even coverage while maintaining high dexterity. Unlike traditional insulated gloves that often feel stiff and reduce grip, the glove liners use a two-way stretch fabric for improved mobility, comfort, and adaptability on the job.

The low-profile design makes these liners a versatile solution for any work environment, while optimized construction ensures efficient heat transfer and layering comfort. A battery pocket is positioned on the back of the wrist, keeping the power source out of the way while allowing a full range of motion. Heat settings are controlled with an LED controller built directly into the cuff, making it simple to switch between high, medium, and low output depending on the conditions. Entry assist tabs make putting them on and taking them off quick and easy, while extended adjustable cuffs help retain heat and pairing clips keep them together when not in use.

Inside, durable carbon nanotube heating elements ensure consistent performance, with the fastest heat-up time of less than two minutes and forty times greater coverage than earlier heated glove designs. The optimized interior lining improves heat transfer, making sure warmth spreads evenly across all coverage zones. Like Milwaukee’s heated winter gloves, the liners are machine washable and built for repeated daily use.

With a dedicated compact power source, the liners deliver up to eight hours of run-time on low, four on medium, and two on high. This makes them ideal for electricians, linemen, mechanics, or anyone needing reliable warmth throughout the workday while still requiring the protection of specialized outer gloves. By combining jobsite-ready durability with low-profile comfort, the Milwaukee Heated Work Glove Liners Kit provides a smart, versatile solution for working through harsh winters without losing dexterity or protection.

Milwaukee M12 Women’s Heated AXIS Vest

For those who prefer layering, the M12 Women’s Heated AXIS Vest provides lightweight protection with serious durability. The AXIS ripstop polyester fabric resists tearing, while a wind and water resistant DWR finish keeps the elements out. Inside, low-bulk insulation and HEXON heating elements deliver quick, even warmth across the chest and back. With multiple zippered pockets, an adjustable waist, and the ability to wear as a mid-layer or stand-alone vest, it’s a versatile option for anyone moving between indoors and outdoors during the workday.

This vest is sold as a complete kit that includes an M12 REDLITHIUM CP2.0 battery, charger, and power source stored neatly in its case, but it is also available as a bare tool for those who already own compatible batteries. Milwaukee is offering the AXIS Vest in two color options: black and grey, so users can choose the look that works best while still getting all the performance of HEXON Heat Technology.

Milwaukee M12 Heated TOUGHSHELL Jacket

The TOUGHSHELL Jacket is built to outlast the elements, delivering rugged durability and long-lasting warmth with Milwaukee’s HEXON Heat Technology. It heats up fast, covers more area, and holds warmth longer thanks to triple the insulation of older models. With three heat zones across the chest, back, and pockets, independent controls, and a hidden pass-thru battery pocket, it offers customizable comfort on any jobsite. Made from stretch polyester with a water-repellent finish, five pockets, and washer-safe construction, it’s tough, flexible, and practical. Available as a kit with battery, charger, and case or as a bare tool, the TOUGHSHELL comes in red or grey and delivers up to twelve hours of run-time with full M12 battery compatibility.
