Cozy and Therapeutic
Heated wearables are a wonderful invention, and essential to battling the chill in the colder months. In fact, the best heated gloves and heated scarves have been proven to alleviate the symptoms of long-term conditions such as arthritis. That’s not to mention their practicality for anyone who loves the great outdoors and sports ranging from skiing to motorcycling. Combine these with a matching heated jacket, heated socks and heated pants – and you never have to be afraid of the harshest of winters ever again!
Heating methods include batteries, a blast in the microwave or even a pouch that when shaken, starts a chemical reaction, warming the surrounding area which, while sounding scary, is actually a bit fun as well as incredibly practical.
With so many variations of heated neck warmers out there, which ones are worth it?
