Customer Reviews for Milwaukee Men's 3X-Large Black Heated WORKSKIN USB Rechargeable Midweight Base Layer Shirt

I used it twice before I washed it. It heated up nicely and worked as expected. Then I washed it and now heating wire is bunched up near left armpit.

The XL fit like an XL tall. Not much heat generated from the wires.

Bought this shirt thinking that it’d be the perfect thing for those cold hockey mornings. Wrong. Flat out doesn’t do anything. Paid way too much money for basically a long sleeve shirt. The light comes on but you can’t feel any heat at all. On top of that, the battery dies really quickly. Avoid.

Doesn't seem to work, fails to feel like it's heating up enough I barely feel it

Worst heated item I have ever bought. Bought 2 and neither even produces heat while at max.

The shirt its confy and it definitely keeps you warm. The bad. It comes with 1 charger that needs to be plugged in to the shirt to be used. So the second one cannot be charging in the meanwhile. You could get a seco d charger but the only available its a flash light or a usb power bank. I would of prefered that it was compatible with the jacket battery as well. Another problem its a base layer so many times the bottom will get pushed and turn off or change heating tempeture. It should have more than 2 temperature settings. And last complain but none of the competitors have it its lower back heating element to protect the organs there. I work in a freezer so i need 12 hours of battery life

When i bought this, the wiring was slightly skewed to one side, didn’t see it as a big issue, wore it once, then put it through a short cold water gentle machine wash as described in the operation manual, now all wiring is bunched to one side, not planning on using it again as it seems like it could be a fire risk how tightly bunched and twisted the wiring is.

Great quality shirt. Warms you up even without turning it on. I typically wear an XL but size down on these, as they are base layers and are meant to be underneath. Sleeves are a bit long for my liking, but I think they’re meant to be- they have thumb holes in them. Only complaint it that you must use the adapter to charge the battery, so you can’t charge one while using the heat….

it does not heat up very much, battery doesn't last very long. probably better if you wear it under a heavy coat

I thought it would have gotten just a bit warmer. If it’s just the quality and how comfortable it was I would have given it a 5star but I it didn’t last long enough and didn’t warm up enough for my liking

Not worth the price. Completely useless.

I love the Milwaukee 12v jackets for the warmth, but they don’t layer well under motorcycle or other work jackets. So, I thought that I would try this new heated shirt since it is powered by a much smaller battery. The heating elements provide warmth but won’t make it for a full day with both batteries. When the second battery is in use you can’t charge the first. They also recommend wearing it next to the skin so you might need to buy quite a few of them to have enough batteries and not smell like a goat if you need heat all week.

I had less than a week spill on it washed it now went to use it and it wont turn. Just took battery off charger

This thing didn't work at all.

Would give it 5 stars but the power button is in a terrible spot

I purchased this shirt, charged the batteries, plugged it in and it didn’t work, no lights no heat, the batteries are fully charged because I have the usb lithium usb charger and they work in that but not in the shirt. I love my Milwaukee, but this has been a disappointment, and I may as well have just bought the m12 sweatshirt, for just a little more money.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. The chest wires are not evenly distributed in the channels all wires are bunched up on the left side

Didn’t heat very well. Had it on high for about 45 minutes and was only slightly warm. Also, the material wasn’t very stretchy making it hard to actually work in. Expected more from something this pricey.

Got this as a gift. Fully charged the battery, the only thing that seems to warm up well is the cable that connects the battery and the baselayer. What am I doing wrong????

Let's you stay out in the elements alot longer..paired them up with the heated bottoms and socks..It let you enjoy the hunt in a ladderstand 22° with not being cold!!

Battery life WAY TO SHORT... Even in 65 Degrees weather. I would not buy another one ......

Quality good but the battery life and heating very pour milwaukee could have done way better. I own lot of milwaukee tools they impress me not this purchase. I would not recommend at all.

I bout this for use as a layer under my work clothing and am disappointed. The shirt seems to work the same on or off. Worst part is the price here in Kodiak Alaska for something that a good none heated base layer can preform. I do use the Gerbing 12v heated gear for snow machines and on my Indian touring bike and it works great. Shame to see it’s not as good as the tools

This midweight shirt, while expensive, is a better choice than the M12 heated jackets. I work outside or in framed but not insulated homes (low voltage) and this shirt is enough to keep me warm in an unheated house (while working, not sitting around). Outside I pair it with a hoodie or a jacket, and while this thing isn't "hot" (it's not supposed to be), it's much warmer than sweater. Heated clothing works when it's closest to your skin. I have the M12 Hoodie and the Toughshell jacket, and this shirt and the hoodie gets far more use. Plus the small batteries, which I use with several of the Milwaukee flashlights, make this shirt a go to throughout the winter (in South Dakota no less). Don't listen to these bad reviews. They're probably expecting way too much from this thing. It does what it's supposed to do, it does it well, and it's better than your grandmother's knitted sweater. *I say this as someone who thinks Milwaukee's drywall screw gun is crap, and their glo rods will break apart fresh out of the package. Not everything they make is a winner, but you don't have to rag on something because you don't understand what it's supposed to do. It's like being upset the M12 Hackzall doesn't work as well as a M18 FUEL Superzall. It's not supposed to.
