(Actually, they're not. In retrospect, almost all of my coats are kinda spendy - all the more reason to maximize the value from them)

Actually I think this would be great for meeting someone when you know you'll have to shake their hand - I basically have to anticipate it and sit with my hand inconspicuously under the back of my knee until it gets warm enough that people won't think I'm undead when they feel it...

I guess the gist of my commentary jab was that this particular product seems gimmicky, rather than practical. By the way, where are you that it gets that cold regularly?

I'm in Western Canada... there are usually a few days to a week that cold every winter. -20 to -25 is normal, -28 is an ordinary "cold" day in december/january.
...below -30, the air stings exposed skin, and you can run across smooth ice on skates and not even slide, because you no longer get a thin liquid layer when you put weight on the ice.

Taking a true-cost approach, I'll ignore subsidies, though that certainly cuts the time in half for early buyers.
Pulling $180 per month out of my butt as an estimate for conventional power, I come up with about 32 years to pay off the difference. Which... is actually pretty good aside from the pile of Li-ion and silicon waste left at end-of-life.
