I was so excited after I tried Sheer Shield's mobile warming technology at McU Sports that I had to tell you about it. These are battery-powered jackets, vests and gloves that heat up instantly with the push of a button.

There are many times I have been fly fishing in the winter, when the day had to be cut short because I was getting cold. I often love attending outdoor events like BSU games but especially events where you are outside and sedentary, not really moving to get warm that heated gear becomes a game changer... pun intended.

Here in the Treasure Valley and beyond, we're blessed with so many opportunities for adventure outdoors that having the right gear really means you can spend more time doing the things you love, trying new things and making memories.

Let's talk about the wives out there that would be much more into joining outdoor adventures or events with heated gear? Or that husband that wants his loved one to join but also wants to limit the complaining of being cold ... heated gear can help couples spend even more time together.

​And to be honest, there are some days I don't start my car in the morning and I am so cold that a heated jacket would be amazing, especially with how fast they heat up. If you're thinking holiday shopping (and aren't we all?!?), this is truly a gift that keeps giving.

McU Sports has a wide arrange of outdoor sports equipment and apparel and the staff is generous with their expertise and advice. Whether you're shopping for yourself or for holiday presents, pop in their downtown location at 822 W. Jefferson St. and tell them I sent you!
