The Sanyo Neck/Waist Warmers Keep You Toasty All Winter Long

— September 9, 2010 — Lifestyle
The cold weather is upon us and for those who can't deal, or afford to retreat to a warmer climate, I have a treat for you: the Sanyo Neck/Waist Warmers. I'm sure you've heard about clothing heaters before, but these ones are special.

The Sanyo Neck/Waist Warmers are rechargeable. Sold for $84 and $96 respectively, they will keep you toasty all winter long, without fear of them dying on you in a snowstorm. The only unfortunate thing about this device is that it probably won't be available anywhere else than Japan, but keep you're eyes peeled.
