Heated Jacket Recommendations?

I'm thinking I need a battery powered heated jacket to be in the woods this year but there are so many I'd like input before I order one. I know I don't want one of the "puffer" style, I think I'd prefer a fleece but I'm open to suggestions. Intended application would be for hunting so two features I think are mandatory would be camo and quiet. If you have one would you buy it again? Why or why not? Thanks
 
Following.
After yesterday I decided my old diabetic self needs a bit more in the way of lightweight luxury...
 
I do not have or ever used a heated jacket. I do use a heated jacket liner while participating in other outdoor sports and prefer the liner to a jacket. That way I can change the jacket and the liner works well with any jacket I select. Just a thought.
 
I have one sold by Milwaukee which of course uses their batteries in an inside pocket. I like it and would buy again.
 
Volt and dewbu both are good. Go with vest as it will keep core warm and leave arms with free range of motion. Volt has heated collar a great feature! Buy an extra battery or two you'll be glad you did! I have a Milwaukee heated hoodie and it works well but these are less expensive options!
 
Friend that is a Game Warden uses a DeWalt Vest. He's quite happy with it.
 
I have the Milwaukee nylon jacket. I like it, work gave them out one year, takes the batteries we already use for the tools.

Look at HD, they are having sales on lots of the Milwaukee line right now.
 
Cheap lithium ion battery chargers can cause fires so I’d stick with a brand like Dewalt or Milwaukee or Makita that have a number of safeguards in both the battery charger and even a safety circuit board built into the battery itself.

Milwakee has been the most common with guys in the trades, but any of those three would be a good choice.
