You can now buy battery-operated heated pants

As someone who's pretty much in a constant state of freezing - no matter how many layers I pile on - I'm always on the lookout for anything that might work against my tragically poor blood circulation.

And in preparation for the plummeting temperatures, I've already invested in an electric blanket and microwaveable teddy bear, But they're both items that never leave the comfort of my home for obvious reasons.

This location is one of the absolute coldest places on the planet:

So, if you, like me, are searching for a more practical product, something that you can take with you when you're out and about, then look no further because online retailer Action Heat has the perfect solution.

Action Heat's battery-operated heated pants come with a heating system that includes three built-in heating panels on the knee, thigh, and backside.

Complete with three temperature settings, the product is now selling at a discounted price of $99.

Reviews of the product are widely positive, with one buyer dubbing it "the best invention ever".

They added: "My husband bought these for me because I have a bad knee that bothers me when I get cold.....the bonus was that it also worked on my lower back!!!! I wear these anytime there is a chill in the air and they keep me warm......LOVE THEM!!"

Another agreed: "These are nice. They last about 4 hours on low. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the heating part is below the knee. And my husband is 6 feet tall. It would be nice if it was a bout 4” higher."

A different customer added: "I really like that you can use any standard portable power USB capable. The focus of heat is concentrated on the knees, which really helps. I have only had them a month, so stay tuned."
