Noticed some heated gloves in a "Scotts of Stow" mini catalogue in some
magazine the other day. I don't think it says much on the website from a
quick look but I think it said they heat up to 40 degrees C and run off 1

I converted my Extremitties to do something simillar, see attached picture

The size of the battery is a bit of a drawback though!

I'm worried that you went to all the effort of setting that up just to
amuse us lot!!

And do they work? Isn't there a major risk of battery acid spilling and
eating your rucksack?

What worries me is that some poor sod will buy a pair of these gloves
thinking hat they will be of some use!

I lead lined the sack!

One unforeseen problem is that the mitts are so hot the heat is transmitting
through my ice axes and causing them to prematurely melt out. Must invest in
some victorian style hickory shafted tools!

so the lead will act as an electrode to generate a current. Current
will then pass through your body to complete the circuit and keep your
whole body warm then. Great idea! Better patent it quickly before
somebody else does.

I was given a pair of heated gloves the year before last. I used them
once. I don't recommend them.

I wasn't planning on buying any but what's wrong with them?

They take a size D battery - heavy! The battery sits in a pocket on
the back of the wrist - uncomfortable! They are switched on and off
by taking out the battery - fiddley! A Duracel battery lasts for
about 6 hours - expensive! The heating element is positioned in the
centre of the palm - poor design! They don't warm the fingers -
unsolved problem!

However... It does make a good discussion in the pub - free pint!

Ah, so they may not be as good for archery as I'd hoped then?
Bother.
