Heated Jacket - Bunnings
« on: July 09, 2015, 10:16:10 PM »
In Bunnings tonight and spied some heated jackets in the tool shop.

Now for $199 they are probably not really suitable for wearing on a bike especially with a 18Volt lithium battery in your pocket.. however next to them were heated hoodies without batteries just a 12Volt cigarette lighter plug and a USB port in your pocket. Ideal for wearing under you bike jacket, and only $99. Good buy in my opinion.

I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Skidooo (Karl) here on ours and other LD forums has been wearing one for nearly 12 months with positive feedback......you pay another $30 for the 12volt lead to bike power the Jacket  :like

Karl wears this instead of his winter liner on all his cooler LD rides....

Bought a hoodie . . . . $99 . . . Fits OK . . . Bought the lead to plug into a cigarette lighter socket . . . Only $19 . . Wore it home from Bunnings in 4wd and I could feel the warmth fairly Quickly. I have the option of buying an AEG 12 volt battery an charger later if I feel the need to have it battery powered rather then the bike power . . I'm thinking of cutting off the hood part of the jacket . . Looks like that could be done without a great deal of effort or damage to the main part of the hoodie . .
