Ventilated jacket cxt/lxt size 2XL polyester 100% UPF50+ DFJ416A2XL

Thermal Comfort in Challenging Working Conditions

Working in full sun or in enclosed spaces where temperatures rise sharply requires not only durability but also active cooling. The ventilated jacket DFJ416A2XL is a game-changing solution for protection against overheating. Instead of relying solely on natural ventilation, the device generates airflow directly under the clothing, enabling faster body cooling and maintaining performance even during extreme heat. The key to this is a brushless DC motor (BLDC), which not only operates quietly but, above all, consumes energy significantly more efficiently than traditional brushed motors. As a result, the jacket is lightweight—weighing only 0.47 kg—so that installers or construction workers do not feel its weight on their shoulders even throughout the entire day.

Power Supply Flexibility and Precise Airflow Control

One of the greatest advantages of this model is its versatility in terms of power supply. The jacket is designed to be compatible with popular Li-ion batteries from the CXT and LXT series. This means that if you already have a set of Makita tools on the construction site or in the workshop, you do not need to purchase dedicated batteries for clothing—simply connect the same 12 V, 14.4 V, or 18 V battery. The user has full control over comfort thanks to four airflow power levels. There is no need to choose between "cool" and "hot"; the airflow intensity can be precisely adjusted to current atmospheric conditions and work intensity.

Thanks to the BLDC brushless motor, the jacket offers four levels of airflow regulation: from 1.5 m³/min at the lowest setting up to 2.2 m³/min at maximum power. Such flexibility directly translates into the device's operating time. When using an 18 V battery with a capacity of 6.0 Ah:

• At the lowest speed (airflow 1.5 m³/min), the device operates for approximately 33 hours.
• At medium settings (approx. 1.7–2.1 m³/min), this time is 24.5 hours or slightly less.
• Even at maximum airflow (2.2 m³/min), the jacket ensures continuous operation for 13.5 hours, allowing the user to complete an entire shift without needing to replace the battery.

Protection Against Radiation and Material Durability

The jacket not only cools but also protects against harmful solar radiation. It is made from 100% polyester fabric certified with UPF50+ protection. This means it blocks over 98% of UV radiation and reflects IR (infrared) radiation, further reducing material heating from the outside. This is crucial for individuals working for extended periods outdoors—skin remains safe even during hours of sun exposure. The construction has been designed with durability in mind; the polyester material is resistant to abrasion and easy to clean after returning from the construction site or renovation work. Size 2XL ensures adequate freedom of movement and allows the jacket to be worn over thicker layers of workwear on cooler days or as an outer layer in summer. This is equipment designed for real fieldwork, not just for catalog presentation.
