Highly recommend for anyone who works out doors!! Best thing I've ever bought

I tried one of this things a few months ago and reckoned they'd only be good for supervisors and managers (i.e people who stand in the cold watching others work). They are kind of nifty but I doubt I could wear one for more than 5 minutes if I was actually working or doing anything physical.

I was looking at them, pretty good idea i think, but like Krafty said good for people who stand and watch. Would also be good on a winter camp i reckon!

Haha, yeah was gonna say you couldnt really be working then! Im in a t-shirt with steam coming off my back on cold mornings if im going hard!

Sounds like councils will snap them up.

I'm out on the tools and have it on all day without a drama!!! Sometimes it does get hot, but I just turn the heat off

I know the feeling, I used to wear shorts and short sleeves all year round when I was driving the truck, even working 10pm to 10am and through winter in areas where Satan skated to work each morning being fully covered and physical was just a waste of time. Working was more than enough heater even in temps below 5 degrees. However had they been around 20 years ago when I worked at the council supervising road crews I would have had 3 of the buggers.
