Surprising Ways to Stay Warm and Safe

Valerie Paxton, Allegra Medical

My friends tease me about my cold hands and feet. I mean, they are sooooo cold! I’ve tried all kinds of things to warm up (even moving from Nebraska to Arizona) but I just seem to run a few degrees south of normal. Yeah, ‘boo hoo’, I know, it’s 70 degrees here in January and I’m complaining.

But no matter where you are in the world, kicking back in your recliner at home or rippin’ gnar pow on your shred sled in Snow Mass, there are products you may have never imagined, designed to keep you warm and safe in the cold.

Check these out:
