With winter now actually here the temperatures outside are dropping and that means it can be hard to keep warm. But the Columbia Circuit Breaker jacket could help wearer’s get hot under the collar or just about anywhere else. This jacket uses the same Omni Heat thermal reflective technology that we reported on last week with Columbia’s Gathering Storm gloves.
Basically the technology reflects body heat back on the wearer, but the jacket goes a step further by including rechargeable battery powered heat coils. These are strategically-located at key body zones to help battle the cold, and afterward the jacket can be plugged into a standard outlet or recharged via a USB port. Out in the wilds the jacket can even light up to show others that it is doing its thing.
