I'll second the milwaukee m12. I've owned mine (hooded sweatshirt style) for several years and never used it. I tried it for the 1st time the other day and was impressed. I would estimate the battery lasted 2.5 hours or so on medium. I'm sure others are good too.
The only complaint I have is they put the pocket that holds the battery way too far towards the back. You need to be a contortionist to reach it.

Not the socks, it is the boots. You need a thick layer on your sole of the boot to keep cold from a metal stand movig up into your foot.
They are Day Wolf brand. I only had them a year, but so far I love them. No matter what I tried from high end boots to overboots I couldn't keep my feet warm. These have been the ticket. I think the key is they don't get so hot that your feet sweat. They have 3 heat settings and are a easy to charge.

I've got a battery heated jacket, kidney pads, and socks. I love them. I'm not in a cold area (zone 7a) but they really help my archery hunting. When I enter the woods in the afternoon, it can be quite hot. I don't want to work up a sweat walking and climbing to my stand. Once the sun goes down, the temperature can drop quite a bit during our October bow season. So, I would either roast in the afternoon or freeze after sunset. I have arthritis, and it is easy to get stuck in a tree after sitting for a long period and stiffen up with a temperature drop.
I now dress very light. Some days I wear shorts and a tee-shirt under my coveralls. I typically only use the jacket or kidney belt at this time of year, not both. I no longer get sweated up walking in. When things begin to chill off, I turn on the battery. I can't recall brand, but I know I got a replacement battery from Cabelas. I think it is 7.5v clothing.
I also use it under heavy coveralls in the winter. It works fine for me, but our winters are not like up north. When I was a kid in PA, we used hand warmers that ran on cigarette lighter fluid. Nothing kept me warm enough up there. The battery driven clothing is quite convienent.
Thanks,
Jack

https://pnumaoutdoors.com/collections/heated-core/products/iconx-heated-core-vest. got one of these and just tried it out this weekend. Felt like I was sitting in my heated seat in a car. Instant heat. No added bulk so I can imagine I'll wear this on most days... It says to wear next to skin, but to keep it clean, I wear a merino t shirt underneath. It says you can't use it in ozone bag (likely because there is elastic in it).

I second the Pnuma Iconx vest, love it for all the cold Wisconsin can dole out. Get a fit that is nice and tight so the heat stays right on you. Only issue is that the batteries always sell out fast, so order extras when buying.
