ACES

A.C.E.S.

Advanced Climate Enhancement Suit.

“Heat Suit”



I had a Idea a few years ago.
Why not Keep warm !!
We know a good amount of heat
is lost via the head .
Why not stop it !
I have had various ideas from
Lycra suits with heaters
to water loop heaters.
After 4 years of nit picking at the idea
I decided to make a real one .
I moved to Iowa from LA Southern Cali .
Its Cold here . VERY cold .
little cali guy can't take the cold.
so I made last year a Lycra vest with a embedded 7.2V heaters in it .
It was OK but was a nightmare to wear as it looked like a bomb vest .
So I decided to rethink this time how I kept warm .

And so ACES was born !
