After 60+ New England Winters, These Are the 8 Items My Grandparents Will Never Stop Using-From $30

"After living through years of bone-chilling New England winters, my 76-year-old grandparents have become experts at staying warm in freezing temperatures. While they typically try to escape the Northeast for the sunshine once winter rolls around, they still have plenty of tips for braving the cold. So when I asked them for their must-have gear for ski trips, snowy getaways, and other chilly vacations, they didn't hesitate."

"They each have several pieces from the brand, but my grandmother particularly loves this Ororo heated fleece vest. She says it's ideal for layering under other jackets when it's extremely cold, or for wearing on its own on milder days. The vest features four heat zones targeting the neck, pockets, and expanded back area, and three heat settings: high, medium, and low. The battery recharges quickly and provides hours of consistent warmth, and it includes a Built-in USB-A port for on-the-go charging."

"If you purchase one thing from this list, make it these rechargeable hand warmers, which my grandparents say are non-negotiable for cold-weather outings. Classic hand warmers don't last long, are environmentally harmful, and take a long time to warm up, but these rechargeable hand warmers stay warm longer and can be reused. The compact size is pocket-friendly and can slip into gloves as well."

Layering with a heated fleece vest provides targeted, adjustable warmth via multiple heat zones and rechargeable batteries for hours of consistent heat. Rechargeable magnetic hand warmers offer reusable, long-lasting pocket-sized warmth that fits in gloves and reduces single-use waste. Merino wool thermal base layers deliver breathable insulation next to skin for sustained core warmth. Slip-on snow boots and insulated outerwear from reputable brands with quality insulation and waterproofing protect feet and block wind. Portable power and battery recharge options extend heated gear use during travel and outdoor activities.
