Heated pants
Believe it or not, heated clothes are a thing!
A simple search online will help you find gear like vests, pants, socks and even foldable chairs with heating mechanisms built in. They often have a button that allows you to choose a low, medium or high heat level, and choose which area of your clothing you want heated. Some might even take things further and connect to an app.
These heated items usually plug into a separate power bank, much like the ones you use to charge your smartphone on the go. Since the power bank is removable, the clothes can still be thrown in the wash. Not all of these heated items come with a battery pack, so you may need to purchase one separately if you don’t have any spares at home. Consider opting for a smaller pack since you will be wearing it, and heavier chargers will add bulk and weight to your clothes. If you’re planning to pack your heated clothes on a trip, use the TSA app to check where you need to pack your power bank.
