What to check before you gift heated gear

Five questions that save a return.

Pink and blue gift boxes tied with ribbon on a soft knit blanket
  • Is the battery in the box?Not always: Milwaukee's M300B-20 is the vest alone; the -21 kit adds both.
  • Is there a wall charger?ORORO ships a cable but no charger; add a 15 W (5V/3A) USB-C one.
  • Can it be washed?Labels differ: ORORO no dryer, Fieldsheer low tumble, Milwaukee dryer safe.
  • Which size?Fit comes up for four of our five vests: check the chart, keep the receipt.
  • Any recall?Look it up on cpsc.gov: Fieldsheer (25-423) and 32 Degrees socks were recalled; CPSC warned about Melinora blankets.
