Following on from another thread on heated underwear (for diving). I came across a site in the US that sells a range of heated products. They do not mention using them for diving, but they are designed for wet outdoor use naturally.

The heated lite vest lasts between 4-10 hours on one charge! (Heats upper chest and lower back). It looks to me like @ 0 degrees it will heat up to 46 degrees (32/115 fahrenheit for the old school)
The vest price is good @ $99 including the battery and charger! I didn't buy yet so, don't know how much it will cost to send to the UK, but they do ship worldwide. You can also buy extra batteries. And there is a lifetime warranty on the heating element.
You can also add a heated jacket, trousers, gloves and socks

And you can hand wash the stuff.
Here you go:

So Who's going to buy and give us a report?
