    heated undies...

    Folks, this is a bit off topic, but I think you may be able to help!

    My folks - well into their 70's - are quite into astronomy. This involves nights outdoors and they seriously feel the cold. I thought that heated vests / leggings aimed at the bike market would be a help... lightweight and not bulky.

    If you reckon I might be right, do you have any contacts in the UK that would provide them? It's difficult researching from the other side of the world!

    Cheers,


    Steve

    Hi Graham, the ones I've been reading about run on batteries... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Venture-Batt...71a7b2&vxp=mtr for example.
