Makita’s winter warmers

28 November 2023

Makita has introduced two new heated base layers to its range of job site apparel.

Powered either by Makita’s 18V LXT battery or the 12Vmax CXT battery, professionals can stay warm when working in cold, harsh job site conditions with the new DCX200 and DCX201 heated base layer shirts.

With four dedicated heat zones (front waist, both forearms and back) for optimum heat distribution and three heat settings to adjust to changing weather conditions, the garments can provide continuous heat for up to 33 hours when used on the low setting with a BL1860B 6Ah LXT battery.

Both base layers are made from elasticated fabric to allow unrestricted movement, are machine washable and have a simple on/off switch that is easily accessible at the front. The DCX200 is a simple pullover style shirt with a round neck, while the slip-on DCX201 has a half zip with a stand-up collar. 

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, commented: “Our heated base layers are perfect for anyone who works in cold conditions – whether outdoors or indoors. The four heat zones cover the front waist, top centre of the back and both forearms, providing effective and welcome warmth that will enable users to more comfortably carry out their work, all year round.” 

The unisex garments are available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL.
