Heated Gillet

[Irish_Steve]

No, not a new player but my Xmas pressie. I suffer quite badly from the cold and last night was the first time I got to try out the vest and I have to say it’s a game changer!

No more wearing layers of clothing for me so now watching the footy I’m just bored instead of freezing and bored lol

I really do feel jealous of those young folk who can just rock up in a t-shirt!

[bigwheel]

Now of an age that these types of threads could be my favourite on here…straight to google ! :).

[BlackSheep]

Ha ha - loving the replies on here!

I got one from Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/LHNK-Heated-Vest-Women-BLXXL/dp/B099HZGQN5/ref=sr_1_7?crid=15CMRFOKD5MW&keywords=lhnk+heated+jacket&qid=1642761660&sprefix=lhnk%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-7

However, be aware that you will need a power bank for that one but as I already had one, I didn't see much point in buying one of the more expensive ones. And also, if it was duff, it wouldn't have been too great a loss financially.

Can't wait for the next home game lol

[Pretty Boy]

I'm buying one of those.

I had a t shirt, jumper, fleece and jacket on last night and I was still freezing. I was never bad with the cold but really starting to notice it over the last 18 months or so.

[Jones28]

Thought this was a new signing - I suppose it is in a way.

[wookie70]

My wife got one of these for walking the dog. Worked brilliantly but the connect to the power bank failed after a few months. I could probably fix it but she will get a better one next year. I think you can get gloves too that are heated. I do lots of photography and your hands get frozen sitting for hours. Zippo hand warmers in each pocket provide some much needed defrosting of the digits.

I'm fine top half is there anything for keeping my knees warm ... too many football knocks taking it's toll...

Tartan blanket should do it.

[Skol]

I need one of those. The one linked is only the big sizes rhoufh

[stuart-farquhar]

As someone who couldn't make it to extra time because of feeling so cold I might try that. Heated seats, obviously at a price, would interest me. Some stadia even have heaters in places. Again sounds good. Getting older certainly doesn't come by itself eh!

[Scorrie]

Hope it disnae go the same way as Eric’s heated bunnet in Still Game!

[Carheenlea]

I’ve got a Carhartt Bartlett jacket - best winter investment I’ve made. All I had underneath was a t shirt and sweatshirt and didn’t feel the cold at all. Other than my feet that is - need thicker socks.

[jeffers]

Liking this thread. If anyone has found a pair of socks that actually keep your feet warm I’d love a recommendation. Bought a pair of heat holders but tbh they aren’t that great. Was considering alpaca socks.

Got a Geographical Norway jacket - warm as but as porous as paper when wet… :(

Not useful outside, but if you still get cold feet at home, I highly recommend a pair of microwaveable slippers. They. Are. Amazing. There, I admitted that online. But it's true, my feet get cold and stay cold. Putting extra socks on does nothing. It wouldn't help if you put a woolly hat on a frozen pizza either. But with microwaveable slippers...you can get heat back into your tootsies.

Probably the best thing I've ever read on here. :top marks

Here's one for £25 (it's a woman in the picture but says it's for men and women) plus 2 power banks for £12.

Look up feet warmers on Amazon. They are really good. Last about 8hrs, I had them on my feet hands and under my hat last night 😂

All true really. I can even tell you that the discontunied 'Slippies' are the best and most others are pale imitations. I'd love to say the come in camoflage with WW2 stencil type stuff written on them to make them 'macho'. But they don't. I care a little bit. But not enough not to flag these furry lil bad boys up to the max!

[heidtheba]

I'm going to continue shooting myself in the (warm) foot by saying that if you microwave a curry beforehand, your slippies will smell of curry.

Which is better than the reverse case...

I wonder if you ever go to the microwave and find a pair you have previously heated up, I often find a cold cup of tea hiding in the microwave lol

One man's Gillet is another man's Waistcoat.
Miss the old days of the old north stand when the feet were getting cold the stamping of feet and the singing Hibees Hibees used to do the trick.

[McSwanky]

Gillet. The best a man can get.

[gegs70]

Maybe hibs should sell them in the club shop and get a partner ship with them 😉

I have 1…best purchase and best invention ever.

[Dublin07]

Can’t tell you how excited I was after reading this yesterday. Ordered one and it’s arriving today. Christ I am getting old 🤣🤣. Having said that after having covid recently Thursday was the coldest I have ever been at a game for years!

[lord bunberry]

When did a body warmer become a gillet?

We are going to be a fire risk if we all turn up next home game with them heating us up

Hibs won't need undersoil heating anymore, we can just all lie on the grass five mins before KO

How to spot a heated gillet fan on the way to the match. 👀

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Have had the hand-warmers that I use when walking, at a few games (like a big T bag that heats up), but not graduated to heated clothing as yet - something to look forward to.

[LunasBoots]

Long johns and a pair of thermal socks on top of another layer of socks does me,bottom half always gets me, saw a couple fans in shorts the other night lol
