Geez... I'd be afraid to even handle firewood in in a $10k+ snowsuit! My first three cars probably didn't cost that much... combined.
I was in the local hardware store yesterday, and saw they had an entire aisle of shelving loaded with wired heated jackets by Milwaukee. What made me laugh was that they had all the heating elements around the core, whereas in our local temperatures (only rarely below 0°F), I've NEVER had an issue keeping my core warm. A few appropriate layers, or even old-skool flannel and wool, always does that job well enough down into single digits and lower.
What gets cold on me is always toes and fingers, way before and way more often, than anything else. Steel cap boots don't help, whether just in my imagination or for real, my toes seem to freeze while out splitting wood old our "cold" and snowy days in logger boots.
They need to put that Lithium Ion heater tech into some thin but durable glove liners and socks, and move that stupid jacket inventory to a place that might actually benefit from it, like Chicken Coop AK!
