Makita 18V LXT Heated Jackets
Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets keep you warm on cold starts without bulky layers, running off the same LXT batteries as your drills and saws.
When you're on early doors, up scaff, or stuck on snagging in an unheated shell, a heated jacket stops you stiffening up and losing dexterity. Makita's 18V LXT system means no new chargers to mess about with, and you can swap batteries from your kit to keep the heat going. Pick the right size for layering, then get one ordered and ready for the next cold shift.
What Jobs Are Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets Best At?
- Working on cold, exposed scaffolding where wind cuts through standard softshells and you still need full arm movement for fixing and handling tools.
- First fix in unheated new builds and refurbs, where you are in and out of rooms all day and want warmth without piling on thick layers that snag.
- Early morning call-outs and maintenance work, when you are outside at the van or plant and need heat fast while you set up and load out.
- Long days on site in winter, where staying warm keeps your hands steadier for accurate marking, drilling, and fixings instead of rushing to get moving.
Choosing the Right Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jacket
Sort the right one by thinking about how you work on site: movement first, then heat time, then what you are wearing underneath.
1. Fit and layering
If you wear a hoodie or fleece under your jacket on cold jobs, size with that in mind so it does not pull across the shoulders when you are reaching or lifting. If you are mainly in a tee or base layer, a closer fit holds heat better and feels less bulky in tight spaces.
2. Battery runtime on your LXT platform
If you are on site all day, do not bank on one small battery lasting a full shift on high heat. Plan it like any other Makita kit: take at least one spare LXT battery, and if you already run higher Ah packs, you will get longer between swaps.
3. Jacket type for the environment
If you are mostly indoors in cold shells, a lighter jacket is usually enough and keeps you moving. If you are outside in wind and showers, go for the more weather-focused options and treat the heat as the bonus that keeps your core warm when the weather turns.
Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets FAQs
What are the features of Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets?
They are work jackets with built-in heating powered by Makita's 18V LXT batteries, designed to keep your core warm without restricting movement. Expect practical site details like trade-friendly fits, usable pockets, and simple heat control so you can adjust it as you move between inside and outside work.
Are Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets available with batteries and charger?
Some are sold as body only and some may be in kits, depending on the exact jacket listing. If you already run Makita LXT tools, body only is usually the sensible buy because you can use the same batteries and chargers you have on the van.
Is there a warranty on Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets?
Yes, they come with Makita warranty cover, but the exact terms can vary by product and whether you register it. Check the individual jacket page for the warranty details, and keep your proof of purchase like you would with any Makita UK kit.
Are Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets suitable for professional tradesmen?
Yes, that is the point of them, especially if you are already on the Makita platform. They are made for site use where you need warmth without losing mobility for lifting, fixing, and working overhead, but they are still clothing so treat them like workwear and do not abuse them around sharp edges and hot works.
Do you offer next day delivery on Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets?
Yes, we offer next day delivery on in-stock Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets from our own warehouse. Order in time and you can have it on site for tomorrow's shift instead of trying to tough it out for another week.
Who Uses Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets?
- Sparks, chippies, and fitters who are on the tools all day and want warmth without losing reach, movement, or access to pockets and fixings.
- Groundworkers, landscapers, and civils crews dealing with early starts and open sites, where wind chill does more damage than the actual temperature.
- Facilities and maintenance teams doing call-outs, because you can run the jacket off the same Makita LXT batteries already in the van.
How Makita 18V Lxt Heated Jackets Work for You
They are simple in practice: an 18V LXT battery powers built-in heating zones so you stay warm without stacking thick layers that get in the way.
1. Heat where it matters
The jacket puts warmth into key body areas so your core stays up to temperature, which is what stops you feeling chilled even when you are standing still setting out or waiting on materials.
2. Battery swapping like any other Makita kit
Because it is on the Makita LXT system, you can rotate batteries through the day the same way you do with drills and impacts, rather than being stuck with a built-in cell that dies mid job.
Makita Heated Jacket Accessories That Keep You Warm Longer
The jacket is only as useful as the power you have with you, so plan your batteries and charging like you would for any cordless kit.
1. Spare Makita 18V LXT batteries
This stops the classic winter problem where the heat runs out halfway through the day and you are back to freezing on scaff. Keep a spare battery in the van and swap as soon as you feel it dropping off.
2. Makita 18V LXT charger
If your charger lives in the workshop, you will forget it when you need it most. Having a dedicated charger for the van or site cabin means you can top up while you are on break and keep the jacket running across multi day jobs.
