2. There are a number of companies making self stabilising heating materials, such as from EXO2 and some Russian sources. These use a carbon loaded material which increases in resistance dramatically with temperature. If you do this sort of thing, this is what you need. You need about 100W of heating to be worthwhile, otherwise buy an Aerogel undersuit: safer, cheaper and very cosy.

Wow, Alex you continue to surprise us with invaluable info

Where is this mysterious Aerogel undersuit can be seen on photos ?
Hear some "ranting" about it about half a year ago, when i've ordered my Thinsulate 400 undersuit.How much does it cost ?

So far All i've found about aerogel was this info:
