If Doug does a reflectix garment, I'll get him confused with Daryl.
Will a microwave zap aluminized reflectix?
Layers. Gotta layer, not adhere it to the vest.
Have you weighed the cost of electricity from using the microwave every 45 minutes compared to turning the heat up a notch? I can attest that a cloth bag filled with rice that has been microwaved for two minutes is very, very hot, and my wife uses one with good results prior to bed. I really think that the best bang for your buck is a down or fleece garment though.
Yeah, I decided to go with an RBH VBL fleece vest, ordered it last night.
Try slipping an electric heating pad into the vest you have. If you are working on a computer, I expect you also have a source for electricity nearby.
