| Has anyone purchased any of the ActionHeat battery heated clothing? Does it hold up? Worth the money?
Please share any of your go to winter items that you love. I'm cold and shopping for items so I won't be while out getting my ponies ready also it is probably good to discuss all the warm clothing we can before next year when the BFA moves to the Lazy E and we must huddle for warm and brave the cold!

Location: Montgomery TX | We do not have the ActionHeat brand - we have Milwaukee brand heated jackets and thermocell heated insoles. We are on our 3rd season with the jackets and my husband has had his thermocells maybe 6-7 seasons and all products are still going strong. We love them - especially in the duck blinds! |

| Yay! Glad for this post. I live by hand warmers. I also had a pair of heated socks with rechargeable batteries -- I don't think they were a popular brand. And I loved them!! BUT they only lasted one winter. Would like to find a set that's worth it and will last? |

Location: Where I am happiest | Living in cold cold winter country the biggest go to must haves are my flannel lined jeans, 100% Moreno wool socks, and my silk wild rag scarfs. Of course my good elk skin gloves. These are the warmest items on the planet and still allow you to move and work. I couldn't go through winter without them. |

Do you have links where to order? I'm an ordering kinda person. Mainly because I hate shopping if it involves anywhere other than the local feed/tack store.
I look at stuff online sometimes and I'm not sure of the quality of the items. I want reasonably priced quality items. I'm always cold and I've considered buying some spyder vests or coats, even though I think they are outrageously priced, just because I know they keep me warm! I have one vest from them that was a gift and it's very warm, but not normally something I would not buy for myself.

| I work on a farm and have to feed in all temperatures so warmth is a must! I wear Carhartt overalls, whatever hoodies underneath, carhartt toboggans, hunting socks, and usually whatever long sleeve and yoga pants/long John's underneath. I also wear gloves meant for AI breeding/nitrogen tanks or hunting gloves when it's warmer. Carhartt and Schmidt is worth the money as well as hunting layers like Field and Stream. I look for deals on EBay and Goodwill!! |

Location: Kansas | Ski bib coveralls. Wear sweats or longjohns under them and you have a lot of flexibility. I used to wear the full coveralls from Army-Navy surplus but with bibs you can wear a coat and if you get too warm take it off.

I get my Moreno wool socks and flannel lined jeans at the western store here. I know Cabelas carry them both also. I'm not a fan of my bib overalls because I feel so bound up, heavy and restricted in them. My flannel lined jeans keep me very warm and I can still move and not wearing 50 lbs of cloths. Lol My wild rags I get here. Let me tell you there is NOTHING warmer then silk . Plus they look good and come in alot of super fun colors and patterns. These are the highest quality to be had. I have some that are 10 years old and are still in great shape. https://wildragsbylois.com/ |

Location: Illinois | Under Armour ColdGear products are my best friend. I have a few long sleeve shirts and long underwear/tights. It's enough so I don't need bibs to ride, so it's less bulky. Also the shirts are nice under sweatshirts. If I get hot & take my coat off I'm still plenty warm. Otherwise Carhartt coat & bibs. My everyday boots are warm enough with thicker socks and I use thin hunters gloves. I hate gloves and these I tolerate, plus they have the texting fingers so I can navigate my music or use my phone. Usually no hat as my head gets hot |

They are soft and pliable and I can still use my fingers. Great for working or riding.

Location: Illinois | I hate gloves. I use hunting gloves, they're not thick. Easy to use your hands for things. Couple examples below. I always wear lighter weight gloves & they've always been warm enough for me
