Surfing + Hammocking = Warm?

Thought this little gizmo would be of interest to a few.

The Quiksilver Cypher PS+ Heated Vest:



Here is a link to a write-up about it. Details are pretty sketchy, but I figure surfers don't care too much about weight and all that. It is a 'thin' neoprene vest with little pockets to insert this fancy-dancy heater thing-a-ma-jig. 2 hours of 129F "far-infrared heat technology", or a lower setting of 116F. It goes right over the kidneys and I bet would feel really good during those pre-dawn hours when the temps drop hard.

Anyway, stumbled across it today and thought I'd share with those that are less than warm sleepers. Have fun!

Is that where your kidneys are? I never knew.

It's like a high-tech kangri pot.

That's them. Higher up than you thought, aren't they?
