I managed last winter to refresh the whole undercarriage of my audi, rebuilt gearbox, diff, painted anything that unbolted, all without anything more than a few good layers, and the occasional fan heater for painting parts... And it was pretty cold this time last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossberg Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I did some training with a guy from Finland. He used one of the heated jackets so he could train for longer. When we trained with him there was snow on the ground and he was quite snug. My friend then bought one as we does a lot of training/supervision with others that can involve a lot of standing around in all kinds of weather and he thinks it's great. The hand warmers are also quite good. They use lighter fuel and can last for hours. Zippo do them but if you want some of these try "Peacock " warmers as they are easier to light. Just stick them in your pockets but put them in their felt holder or they can be quite hot to touch. Obviously this all depends on what you are doing. Dressing for the weather is always best but these additional warmers can make things easier. I never enjoy having cold fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 A few of the guys at work have the Milwaukee heated jackets - and rave about them! I agree they should be working harder 😉 - but a lot of the job involves waiting around on freezing, wet locations waiting for the next take. I have a DeWalt heated jacket (which came free with a load of tools I imported from the US) - but it's a bit too small for me. Works really well though. If any of you would like a lightly used 2XL Dewalt Jacket for free - and you're close enough to visit / forum relay - it's yours! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I have some padded overalls made for working in freezers - they work really well. Bit less well after being soaked in ATF though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Rattler Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Not going metal detecting now as weather is carp but did get to Formby beach with the new pup ( Otis ) and the jacket was great it doesn't get you really warm but takes the chill out so better that having a load of layers on and a big coat and still being cold i just had a T- shirt on and the jacket and was just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news... with current weather how water proof is it? 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
