The winter season has started early this year, with record breaking cold temperatures that are unusually intense this early in the season.  As consumers scurry to stay warm without running up their heating bill, many are turning to electric blankets, or even heated clothing, particularly if they are going to be outdoors for an extended period of time.  Heated clothing is the newest trend for enjoying the outdoors during extreme temperatures.

Heated clothing operates using a rechargeable battery, and is available in neckwraps, jackets, vests, gloves, socks, and hand warmers.  These items are not cheap, but sure beat the alternative of freezing or being unable to enjoy your favorite activities because of the cold.  Heated clothing makes perfect gifts for the fishermen, hunters, skiers, or any outdoor enthusiasts on your shopping list.  Learn more about heated clothing.

The heated electric blankets come with various settings for your comfort, and most have an automatic shut off so that you are free to fall asleep in your toasty, warm blanket.  Users have reported experiencing lower utility bills up to $40 in some cases from using their electric blanket rather than running the heat.  There’s nothing cozier than wrapping up in a warm blanket and curling up with a good book.  A great example is the Sunbeam Electric Heated Microplush Throw Blanket that offers a soft, comfortable and extremely warm blanket!!
