Geezer is still uncertain if it’s better to look good than feel good, but he hopes that that is not the case, because while feeling good is still within reach, looking good is, well, not the kind of thing Geezer would put money on. Which brings us, not entirely smoothly, to this useful presentation of 12 very cool fleece jackets from the February issue of Outside magazine. Christopher Solomon tells us that fleece is back at the forefront of
performance and style. To prove his point, he directs us to Polartec’s new Hardface technology, which uses a surface polymer to create a fabric that combines the best
aspects of soft shells (weather and abrasion resistance, trim look)
with high warmth-to-weight
ratio and good breathability. Other innovations, he writes, include body-mapping
construction that puts more fleece where you need it and less where you
don’t, knitting techniques that mimic styles like corduroy and
herringbone, and mix-and-match combinations that pair the fuzz with
other fabrics. Check out the goods at Outside.

Where is the information?
Have you ever tried Grabber Warmers? They are great, low cost, and Very effective! I have always had cold hands and feet and started using their hand warmers young. Grabber Hand Warmers are only about $.60-$1.00 and last all day! Also, in addition to handwarmers they also carry Foot, Toe and Adhesive Body Warmers that last 24 hours. The Adhesive Warmers are my #1 Favorite! Yep, I’d say that if you cannot move to the south when the winter rolls around or pay the huge heating bills that come with cranking up the heat, then Grabber Warmers are the smart answer!
