Anyone familiar with these heated vests being sold by Cabelas?  The technology appears to be better than the old heated socks operated on D cell batteries.  They also have jackets, socks, gloves, kidney heaters, and handwarmers.  The stuff is rather expensive, but I decided to try a vest and see how I like it.  They're not going to start delivery til mid-September.   
This might be just the ticket for those really cold days on the ice.

The hand warmer from that series looks pretty nifty. I wouldn't need the vest. I have a bunch of double cheeseburgers wrapped around my mid section.

The new heated clothing is gaining popularity among people that are exposed to cold weather for long periods at a time. I talked to a guy who uses the vest, he swears by it, he has had one for a couple years now ! Testing shows that if the trunk of the body is warmed, the extremities don't lose heat as fast and stay warmer longer.

If your gonna spend that much might as well get milwakees heated coat! It gets too warm on high for me

The Milwaukee heated coat is just unreal. 

When I saw it I laughed initially - but then the vendor said put it on.  I run warm anyway, but this thing had me cooking on medium!  Really cool technology, but a coat was too much for a guy like me.  I could get some real use out of a vest, though.

Eat more cheeseburgers and add insulation to your body!

I did that but the Doc didn't like it.  The Wife & the Doc have me eating so many salads to make up it that I'm surprised I don't have a rabbit's tail growing out of my ass.

No wonder you're cold... you need more seal blubber like the Eskimo!
