For the best snowball fights ever

A vest that keeps your hands warm without mittens?

If there is one thing Canadians know, it's frozen fingers. With winter temperatures routinely dipping below the -30 C mark, digits devoid of feeling are a regular occurrence.

That's why the Canadian military has created a vest capable of keeping a person's fingers toasty in temperatures lower than -25 C without the need for mittens or gloves.

...

According to Mr. Frim, the military has tested prototypes of the vest in a cold chamber. Military personnel have spent as long as three hours wearing the vest in temperatures up to -25 C.

During their time in the cold chamber, soldiers were asked to take apart and reassemble their rifles. The soldiers were able to do so with no noticeable effects from the cold.

For once, we're leading in an area where we should always lead. BZ to DRDC!
