Electrically heated clothing is a terrible idea. Comfortable for three years, then one day it just kills you. There's a reason that every power cable says things like "do not crush", but who's going to rigorously avoid putting their body weight on their shirt?


My heated gloves are battery powered. Something like 3.7V and 1300 mAh or something. Unlikely to kill anyone ever.


We somehow don't manage not to die with heating pads so I think it'll be fine.
