Heated gilets

[Voley]

I bought one with the battery pack. Looks quite handy anyhow - you can charge your phone off it etc. That'll be useful for the campervan.

I was on a right rant above…..about cooling vests on a thread about heated vests

I must have been drunk

I sometimes uncover a post of mine from a few years ago - Zero recollection, strident opinion, posted late at night - and come to similar conclusions.

Just got mine. Stuck it on full power and went for a quick walk round the village. Too hot! Had to turn it down and, eventually, off completely. Bloody marvellous.

The toasty heated bit around the neck is particularly good. We're up on Dartmoor this weekend so I'll give it a proper go then.

Was really good on Dartmoor. I had a thermal vest underneath, the heated bodywarmer and a light waterproof jacket over it in case it rained.

Only had it on low when I was walking but whacked it right up when I was sat on top of a windy Tor and it was toasty.The battery was just running out at about 3pm after using it most of the day.

Very pleased.

I've seen them worn in Germany, France, Spain and Portugal.

How so

Wfh today with no heating on. Toasty warm for the cost of charging the battery up.

How so

gilet just makes me think rugby bloke from the home counties.

I'm gonna start wfh in January. Think I'm gonna get one of these.

Do love my long hot water bottle, though.

Yep. Can quite happily wfh with mine on. I don't use it that often but it still does the trick when needed.

Does that have the charger with it? Good value if it is.

I didn't mind paying extra for the charging pack as it comes in handy for keeping my phone topped up when we're camping.

Any of the ruddy-cheeked inheritance tax refuseniks gone full A2-fuelled heated gilet at the gates of Downing Street yet?

 

[Voley]

I prefer the term bodywarmer.

Gilet sounds like a pretentious pronunciation of Gillette razor.

 

[Voley]

GILET! Le meilleur produit pour homme!!

ah yes, bodywarmer. I was forgetting them. too naff and 80s so they've been reimagined as 'gilets', to be worn by city trader wankers and retirees in Sevenoaks. no offence to anyone on this thread of course. what's wrong with another jumper!
