Self-Warming Jackets

Posted by michael on from the virtually-zero-electrocution-risk dept.

jeffy124 writes: "Those of you in the frigid north who find their coats unfulfilling of their duties may be interested in a self-warming jacket. By using steel microfibres woven into the fabric plus a lithium battery, heat is actually generated to as much as 114 degrees fahrenheit. The jackets, sadly, come with a nasty price -- US$500. Among those interested in purchasing are skiers (including some Olympians), and the Military."

    Wow. I would have just said "fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou" lacking as I do any imagination, like most slashdoters...

    This is terrific, though. Did you write it yourself? Is it copyrighted? Can I borrow some of it?

    You don't need electric heating to be warm on a bike. Just get a decent quality bike jacket that was made this decade.

    Hein Gericke do some reasonable ones at reasonable prices. They breathe, do keep you warm at 90 on the motorway in winter, and are completely waterproof. I use one and ride daily in the UK, renowned for it's warm sunny weather, in all seasons.

    Heated jackets are popular because the rest of you are all PFFs.
