Does anyone use the new heated clothing made popular by motorcycle rides as a base layer or top layer for cold weather bow hunting? I am trying to cut down on the bulk of cold weather clothing but am concerned about freezing my marbles off in doing so.
I spend many hours perched in tree stands during cold season ( +10 to –15 ) and I don’t care for heated box blinds. My shooting skills depreciate immensely when bundled up like an Eskimo waiting to club a seal. I thought maybe some of the heated clothing would be an option but I know very little about it.
I've used the heated socks before, but since i bought a new set of boots, I've not needed them. I generaly use the heat pads from walmart/cabellas on super cold days... 20 or below. they work well, and are fairly cheap.

I'm not sure what your base layer thermals are but I swear by military grade polypropylene thermals. They're not very thick but extremely warm. You can get them at any military surplus store or like website for about a total of $50.
