Heated gilets

[TopCat]

I got an electrically heated gilet and it’s lush. Three heat settings. Plug a power bank in and you are warm. We may not have flying cars like the Jetsons but this is fab tech. Under twenty quid on AliExpress. No customs charges were levied.

It’s fab for that. I am warm. The heating is off.

I'm doing a bit of gift shopping at the mo, and this is something I've never heard of but is now on the list. Thanx

When you go out you just put it on a higher setting and forget the coat.

It’s great for COVID times and eating etc outside.

Can you link to Alixpress. I find when it comes to this sort of thing a personal recommendation is worth a hundred reviews!

The link works it just looks shit

Maybe the heat is what gives the gilets jaunes their pep.

I'd melt if I did that - I sweat like a bastard when walking about, and inevitably have to take the coat or hoodie off that I set out in.

Do they do refrigerated ones?

Do they do refrigerated ones?

That would require a condenser and cooling element plus a radiator and plumbing. Might be a bit heavy with a suitable battery added.

Even the vendor graphically admits they can burst into flames.

You could carry that in a trixie trolley that you tow behind you. A refrigerated jacket would be great for the whole year to keep sweating to a minimum.

I think it’s marketing. No CE mark though.

I thought this was going to be about those fancy heated razors

 

[tony.c]

They are on ebay and amazon too.

You can get cooling vests.

Why don't we have flying cars?

flying cars are so yesterday. I recently heard of hotels using drones to ferry people around but this this article I came up with, nearly 4 years old!

Heads Up! Drones Will Fly People Around Dubai This Summer

The egg-shaped drone can carry one passenger and a suitcase up to 30 miles (48 kilometers).

I could see these being a right hit with the toonsers/city dwellers who head to the wilds to stand in smart groups and chat outside the beer tent on their near-mandatory annual trip to a Highland Games - In August!

That's what hill ponies are for:

You bastard.

What a stupid concept. If you're going to have heating in your clothes it should be in the innermost, not outermost, layer. I suppose that people who use these also go to bed with an electric blanket on top of the duvet, and install radiators on the outside of their house.

He probably has a pair of heated driving gloves that plug into a car cigarette lighter too.
