"This looks like a pretty normal Columbia jacket, right? You might even have one that looks just like it. Still, I bet your jacket doesn’t have a built-in battery pack that powers its handy-dandy self-heating feature. Rechargable via USB, the jacket was designed by a former Intel engineer and has a heat-conductive carbon fiber mesh running through it. That battery pack we mentioned earlier is good for five hours."

if they can heat up then we'd need less thick jackets

"whats up?"
"oh nothing i'm recharging my jacket"
"hey dude you really should stop being on computer all the time, you're getting really weird!"

I have a gaming PC and all gaming consoles and it definately doens't get you laid!
