Winter warmth: Milwaukee Hexon heat technology for construction workers 

Written By Sarah Poirier

Thanks to Milwaukee’s Hexon heat technology, cold weather doesn’t have to slow workers down. Designed to combat freezing temperatures, this innovative heating system is embedded in Milwaukee’s heated work gear, providing steady warmth during long hours outdoors. Using carbon fiber heating elements and rechargeable REDLITHIUM™ battery packs, this gear delivers warmth where it’s needed most, ensuring that trades workers can focus on the task at hand without the distraction of cold weather. 

Milwaukee Hexon heat technology  

Thanks to advanced carbon fiber heating elements, Milwaukee’s Hexon heat technology distributes heat evenly across the body. This ensures maximum coverage and consistent warmth, even in biting cold. Paired with the brand’s reliable REDLITHIUM™ battery packs, workers can enjoy customizable heat levels with one-touch LED controls. Hexon technology is integrated into high-quality workwear, making each piece durable, water-resistant, and windproof—perfect for battling harsh outdoor conditions.  

Whether framing a house, clearing snow, or operating machinery, this gear offers comfort and functionality. Milwaukee’s heated gear helps keep productivity high and morale even higher by reducing the risk of cold-related issues like stiffness or numb fingers.
