In addition to powering the expanding
line-up of cordless tools and accessories, Makita
has introduced two new heated base layers to its range of job site apparel.
Powered either with 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, these new garments can
provide continuous heat for up to 33 hours (when used on the low setting with
the BL1860B 6Ah LXT battery – sold separately).
Both base layers are made from
elasticated fabric to allow unrestricted movement, are machine washable and
have a simple switch on/off button that is easily accessible at the front. The
key difference between the two products is the style – the DCX200 is a simple
pullover style shirt with a round neck, while the slip on DCX201 features a
half zip with a stand-up collar.
The new long-sleeved base layers can be
powered by Makita’s 18V LXT or 12Vmax CXT batteries which can be placed in a
battery holder attached to the waist belt.
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 DCX200 and DCX201 heated base
layer shirts are available in a range of sizes, from XS to 3XL and join a
growing line up of heated jackets and vests from the manufacturer that are
ideal for the colder months.
