I was going through boxes upon boxes of old photographs the other day and I saw this really goofy photo of me and my old man hunting back in Minnesota. It was so funny. We had really silly outfits. Not because we wanted to look silly but just because we had to wear tons of layers of clothes just to keep warm. I remember I couldn’t even move. My old man and I were laughing so hard we almost fell down and couldn’t get up. Literally!

Thank God I discovered the glorious world of Heated Jackets! Yeah, I know it sounds redundant. Heated Jackets. I mean, what are jackets supposed to do but keep us heated, right? But seriously, these heated jackets are the best thing to happen to outdoorsmen like me.

These heated jackets, the ones from VentureHeat in particular, use some kind of advanced (and very thin, might I add) micro alloys to keep the jacket heated for long periods of time. And by long, I do mean very long. I wore my heated jacket out on camping trip one time. And from night till dawn till I woke up, the warmth was still there inside my sleek heated jacket.

But I think the best thing about my heated jacket is how really lightweight it is. Before, I used to wear tons and tons of layers and we all know how useful our arms get during hunting when you’re wearing six jackets, two sweaters, and something wooly and itchy just for laughs. Not so much when you wear heated jackets though.  Basically, if you have a heated jacket, then you’re good to go.

And they’re also quite durable. It started raining and the wind was really howling at some point during our trip, but my heated jacket was still ok. I still have a couple of tests in mind, but I guess those tests are for another trip and another blog post altogether.

I can’t wait to go camping, hunting, skiing, jogging, anything!

I just wish my old man was still here. I wonder how he’d like this heated jacket thing. He’d probably love it as much as I do.
