To stay warm, it's your extremities you need to look after, extra pair of socks, consider gloves even rubber & a hat, yes I know wearing a hat indoors, but there's a lot of heat loss there.

Bought the BIL a heated Gilet for his birthday. He used it last weekend going to the football match and said it was ace.

Make your mind up. You said above that they wouldn't let you have that one.

It may be. That depends on your solar setup, and which supplier you are with.
Having a system installed since FIT was phased out, with a good sized battery, and being with Octopus, their agile tariff is the best for me, and will most likely be the best for anybody in a similar situation.
For most of the year, I am likely to export quite a bit, while importing very little.

Yes, as I thought, blanket statement which you've now qualified. At least I'm therefore happy that the standard variable rate is best for me and I haven't missed something. Being fortunate enough to be on (a very early) FIT scheme, I get paid for each unit whether I export it or not.

It wasn't meant to be a blanket statement. I was referring to Jowwy and myself. Apologies for not being clearer.
And yes, if you are on the FIT scheme, there is no real benefit for you in switching tariffs.

As @chris-suffolk says try a Galibier. I have the Pro. When I cycle in this my core is warm and to my initial surprise my feet and hands are also warm. I presume this is a result of the body not needing to protect the core.
I don't wear the Galibier in the house.
ive explained this up thread before, im not explaining it again……..

I have one of these:
'ORORO Men's Fleece Heated Vest With Battery Pack Heated Gilet '
My wife has one as well.
3 heat settings low/med/ high. Only ever need low indoors. Up to 10 hours on low. Bloody brilliant !

There is no need to explain. It is very simple. Either they did let you go on it, or you aren't on it.
It may have taken some persuasion on your part, but that doesn't mean they didn't allow it.
