Mogan has posted a thread about Aerostitch's Darien Jacket with an inflatable electric vest liner in this section click here. This has got me to thinking about getting a heated vest or jacket liner but I didn't want to hijack his thread as the topic is broader than his title.
In looking at the various options there seem to be pros and cons for each. What are your thoughts about the various options?
Aerostitch inflatable heated vest.
Pro: fills the cavity in your jacket to make the heating more efficient (i.e., fewer drafts coming up from the waist
Con: attachable sleeves aren't heated.
Heated jacket liners (Widder, Gebring, Aerostitch, etc.)
Pros: Heat to your arms as well as core
Cons: They aren't inflatable and can allow drafts to come up from your waist.
