Electrically-Heated Pants

Yes, they exist. Unfortunately, they look like this:

I actually think they look kind of groovy, for a casual pant.

Those aren't too unfashionable for a pair of snowboarding pants. For a pair of casual pants though, that's questionable.

You guys don't do any walking, ever, do you?!

Not since I learned how to levitate.

This confirms an old suspicion of mine: snowboarding = golfing for hipsters.

Well, that would explain why I don't ride as well when I'm not feeling chic.

I'd still rather wear these than the crap that madison avenue foists upon the gullible masses.

Burton is a great company. More overpriced than bottled tap water, but still great gear for riding. Of course, that point is overlooked - that these are snowboarding pants. That is what they are supposed to look like.

Really all i want is heated socks.

There's all sorts of heated clothing out there. Socks have been around for years, check most big outdoor supply stores. Motorcyclists have full outfits available, with power cords that daisy-chain and hook up to a 12v adapter installed on the bike. Better yet, you can get most of the cycle stuff as undershirts or pants, so you can wear whatever's comfortable.

Of course, you'll have to carry around a backpack with a 12v source in it, but c'mon, you want heated clothes, you gotta work for it.

Gerbing, for one. And my backback has two wheels, handlebars, a 12V battery, and its own recharging system!
