Electric Heat

The times, they are a gettin' colder; and I hate it. I hate winter with as much passion as I do classes such as multivariable calculus where if you miss a day's worth of class, you might as well kiss understanding goodbye. Likewise, these days, you are hopefully watching or listening to the weather reports and dressing accordingly.

The days of the t-shirt and jeans are over and boy they will surely be missed. We now usher in the days of freezing temperatures, seeing your breath, and rain, accompanied with cold wind, with droplets going down your back and sending shivers throughout the body. We've all been there and I hate how it feels, havng to cover up every inch of your body and make sure everything is snug so that a rogue wind doesn't find its way to your ear.

I seem to have found a solution that does not involve Under Armour, but one that can be worn day in and day out, much like a jacket. Actually, it is a jacket, just a very special jacket. Its called the Synergy Electric Jacket Liner and it runs off a regular 12 volt vehicle socket. This means that if you have a car, boat, truck, bike or snow mobile then you can wear this and plug it into your vehicle adapter and be all warm and fuzzy. it has temperature controls so that you can set it to your optimal temperature and not have to worry about turning it on or off.

By using carbon fiber material as the heating element, heat is distributed evenly all over the jacket, reducing cold and hot spots. The carbon fiber element is also flexible and water proof allowing for flexibility of movement that we otherwise don't get from our 4 or 5 layers of clothing.

If you don't want a full jacket, there is also a thinner standalone vest with the same properties as the jacket. Either way, for those of you with a bike, you can now finally ride it in the blistering cold and feel as comfortable as you would feel sitting in front of a warm fireplace. Now if only I can find a bike...
