Heated Clothing

[AC2717]

she has tried the whole layer thing
put it this way:
in thehouse with it being very close to 70 with the heat on, she is in flanel pants, long sleeve shirt with a sweatshirt over it and a blanket and still cold.

She does not generate enough of her own heat due to medications and a medical condition.

It stinks, but since I got her out there, I do not want it to stop

That's me and I don't even have any medications to blame!!!!!!

As noted above, Gerbing is an excellent choice for heated outdoor clothing. Many of my motorcycle friends have it and recommend it.

In general,cold extremities are due reduction in blood circulation.This happened with my feet.I never had cold feet skiing but has really changed in the last 5 years forcing me to use boot heaters.Have her try this trick and see if it helps.I've seen where some people sprinkle cayenne pepper on her hands.It really does seem to put out some heat.Not sure if this is only your body thinking the pepper is hot or if there is an actual heat value.WARNING: Its very easy to forget about the pepper on your hands and then go to wipe your eyes.Use with caution!

My problem is my feet sweat and then tunr to cold, most of the year, worse obviously in the winter cause of the cold. I have tried even medication to stop the sweating.

My wife found this green tea tree extract, I forget the company name, it is only $8 at khols and for now the only place we can find it. It works excellent, everymorning, like deordorant, I spray it on my feet, smells good as well, and it protects me from sweating like crazy from the feet

Wick away socks help. Fortunately it isn't bad enough to cause problems for me.
I guess that is the price you pay with good boots. I ride with $180 Sorrels and even when they sweat I've NEVER been cold.

Tried it all, even wear wicking dress socks and sport socks depending on occaision. depending on the type they either do not work, or the shoes/boots end up getting saturated over time, and you know what comes next

Did not want to be so authoritive on it, just that have been trying and experimenting on things for well over 12 years to see what works and what does not work for me, not to say things do not work for other people

Don't be afraid to use anti perspirant.I've seen more than a few skiers use it before putting on their ski boots.
