Are these new? I've looked at tons of ridgid stuff and never saw that they made heated jackets??? I'd definitely buy this if they had a medium in stock.

FYI - works off rigid batteries, so you need a battery (At least one if not more) and charger in order for this to work.

If these are any good this is a solid price considering what the Milwaukee version costs.

Thanks OP, I've been waiting for this go go back on sale for a few months . It was $79 at one point , but I hesitated and have been kicking myself, ever since. Just an FYI, a review on youtube stated that these run a bit big. Hopefully, I chose the right size....

Seems like a lot of these are getting returned because they arent "like the old ones" which apparently were more insulated and able to keep up the warmth. Can check the reviews on homedepot.com.

I have a milwaukee jacket and love it... 12v 2ah battery lasts a good % of the day.

HD jackets for ridgid [homedepot.com]

EDIT: And not trying to poo poo the deal, it's a good price looking at the HD price on their site! I have loads of RIDGID tools, plenty of batteries.

Can't see carrying around a big Ridgid battery for heat. Reviews show that pretty much any battery with the correct adaptor works. The smaller Milwaukee battery looked the best.

true, looking at the jacket that one of the purchasers bought makes it look like a windbreaker rather than a thick coat in the product pictures.

I disagree. Home Depot has more images: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGI.../310036377 or check out the full review with fitting on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6xOXYSKbpo It looks like most other soft shell jackets, I have two and a decent one will usually run $30 to $50, but this one comes with the liner that is heated, the liner is not removable is the down side. Without the heating element it would be a fine fall jacket on its own. I don't have any cordless Ridgid stuff but I do have DeWalt and it works with Milwaukee and DeWalt batteries. I have bought plenty of blemish items from this company and often it looks like brand new so I am not sure what they call blemish. Of course your experience may be different.

Probably would have gotten one if small or medium was available.

NO LSA

Not surprising on an article of clothing, but Ridgid appeal is 90% LSA to me so items without it are way less tempting

Seller's Ridgid "blemished" tools are usually LSA ELIGIBLE, whereas refurb/used are not. But this item even new from HD is just 2 year warranty

I was really interested in these until I thought about carrying a 4AH battery in my pocket. Would make a sweet sidelines jacket for colder weather sports.
