heater pads.

Hello,

I looked into various personal warming devices as it can get pretty cold in Canberra.

Best bit of advice I got was from a CAS member was freezer gear. There are a couple of cold service workwear providers, I went with Badger and have been happy with my gear. Cold room gear is sold in a variety of operating temperatures and I would recommend looking at the gloves. I got the overalls and balaclava and they have both been excellent. (the balaclava for $20 was a steal imo)

USB Warm Carbon Fiber Heated Pads might be another option, its just the unit that normally goes into the heated vests/jackets. Easy to use, small, light and easily recharged. Try ebay they are about $20 per heating pad you want to run.

ps. Get gear rated about 10 degrees lower than you actually get for your winter nights. Being stationary most of the time doesn't help staying warm, my viewing times and enjoyment went up a lot last winter with proper gear!
