Heated Clothing to Keep You Toasty This Winter

As we head into winter's most blustery and frigid time of year, many of us are sick of being indoors so much, but snow, winds, and sub-freezing temps work to keep us from enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Luckily for us, we live in an era of heated clothing — an option that wasn't available even a few years ago. From head to toe and literally everywhere in between, here are Cheapism's picks for heated layers and outerwear that can get you out into the elements while staying toasty and comfortable this winter season.

Note that this vest doesn't come with its own power bank, but there are plenty available on Amazon, including this one which is reasonably priced and gets good reviews.
