Now HERE is a GREAT idea: Lifesystems’ Thermal Jacket. 51 grams. I bought some at Bogong in Little Bourke St yesterday. Here is a fetching photo of me modelling one. It MAY never catch on as chic apparel but WILL no doubt have a place at fancy dress parties & etc. BUT what a great idea for a day hike or the footie: http://www.lifesystems.co.uk/products/outdoor-survival/thermal-jacket.html I think their ‘Survival Shelters’ are a great idea too. Many more people should be carrying them: also great for demonstrations and parties:http://www.lifesystems.co.uk/products/outdoor-survival/4-person-survival-shelter.html see also http://www.theultralighthiker.com/inflatable-insulated-clothing/
