... is this jacket any good for keeping your Kolon warm?


*sigh*]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Nobody is gonna suffer frostbites on his back or chest, this thing is likely to make the wearer sweat while his toes freeze away.
Heated garments could have some (limited) utility if they provide warmth to hands, feet or ears from which the body in extreme conditions drains blood to concentrate it on vital organs.
To protect your back traditional clothing( maybe with modern fibers) are perfectly efficient.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/
It's not a miracle auto-survival tool, but it could definitely help if the heat lasted long enough.

Not to mention it's pretty attractive, for that kind of gear.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/
Just ask Ra's al Gul: "Warm your chest, your hands will take care of themselves."]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Sorry fellas but you don't know what you're saying.
Don't need to ask anyone, coz twent, haem , some years ago , when I workrd for the ski patrol on the italian Alps I got all the experience I need working (occasionally) with temperature as low as -41 ¤C.
Like all my collegues I had to supplement our standard issued uniform with personal pro goves and socks ( and shades of course) because if the gore-tex suit we were issued was even too warm ( we wore only a T-shirt and long johns under it, with a sweater in the backback) our hands and feet would freeze while our back were sweating.
Even if for ...some years I have worked in totally different fields , I still renew my ski instructor lincence every 3 years, and for as long as I can remember I have seen people sporting heated ski boots , and gloves, but no company ever put electrical resistances in jackets because it makes no sense whatsoever.
Besides the reasons I explained before, If you wear anything, even just a T-shirt under the jacket, it would isolate you from the heat generated by the resistances in the jacket making it just a waste of energy.
And if you want to isolate your chest from outside temperatures silk/cotton or hi tech underwear that achieve the result without electrical components have existed since my infancy.

The idea that if you keep your body warm your extremities will take care of themself is pure B.S., and keep in mind that 70% of body heat dispersion happens through your head, so if your theory would be right a simple hat would keep your feet from freezing.
I suggest you go to Antartica and experiment this theory on yourself.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/

I laugh at people spending $500+ on jacket's with recco chips just to hang it on the back of a café chair. My $100 none-gore tex outer shell has served me well for a few years now.

Instead of hauling a battery pack and a heater, why not just put on an extra layer of wool?]]>Feb 3rd 2009 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/Feb 3rd 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/kolons-heated-sport-life-saver-iii-makes-a-trip-to-yellowknife/
