Tldr: I need a new heated vest/jacket (and accessories). Got any recommendation?
My Milwaukee electric hoodie recently died. I liked it for the warmth under my jacket, but I never loved it because it didn’t get that hot. Just kind of warmish. I can always swap batteries.
I live in a climate that often drops to sub zero (F) temps, and I’m often outside for multiple hours. I have a nice parka and a puffy jacket. But electric heat feels so great beneath.
I want some new heated gear. Primarily a hoodie or vest, but a good jacket, gloves, socks, etc., could be nice too.
Ideas?
You are a heater; a really good one. Better clothes will help you store and distribute that heat. If you aren’t wearing a wool base layer, it will be the single greatest change you can make.
Merino wool is comfier than regular wool btw
Yeah it really is. But there are even synthetics that are sufficient here. I’m just saying a base layer is very helpful.
It’s not better clothes, it’s more layers that does it. I live in CO and get so hot into the winter that I have to open the layers. I am not a big person.
