Anyone use one of these? Seem ideal for day sessions with no bivvy....I do feel the cold badly, and have good winter clothing as well. Tia

I bought my mum one off amazon, £50, there's tonnes the same. And she literally hasn't taken it off for 3 months. Swears by it. I mean to buy myself one.

i love the idea of these ... but wary of the varying quality .... Be good if we could find a reliable source for one

Thanks for the reply, needless to say the cheap ones are apparently rubbish, spoke to a match fishing friend this evening, who has a 'Preston innovations' one, said it's great, 4/5 heat settings, sounds ideal for day sessions.

I brought a cheap one cost about £25. It lasted for 3 years although I didn't have it on constantly, just in the mornings and evenings if it was cold. It had different settings that you could set it to. The only downside was I had to replace the zip.

Surprise me why none of the big tackle brands have jumped on the heated clothing idea. I know a few do sleeping bags. So why not clothing? Maybe they've looked at it and thought it's going nowhere. Or maybe watch this space.. who knows..

Makita (and the other tool companies no doubt) have bought out heated versions I believe for site working etc, I would expect those would be of a good standard of quality.

Preston gillet gets good reviews from the match lads round here too. It was when talking to one last autumn that he told me about the heated seat pad... got me thinking about using it for the foot area in my sleeping bag to keep my feet warm.

Regards the cold feet issue in winter, once I take off my winter jacket to get into the sleeping bag I simply cover the bottom of the sleeping bag with it. Makes a huge difference 👍
