Winter may soon be over for the majority of us here in the UK but if you're rather wealthy and afraid of the cold at the same time, this new stylish parka from Columbia may still be of interest to you. The $900 Electro Amp Parka is in fact a heated jacket from Columbia.

Built from carbon fiber strands designed to feel like fabric while they conduct heat from the jacket's battery pack, this piece of kit hits enough geeky keywords to turn me on. A single charge via USB of course, will give you up to five hours of heat while you're skiing in the Alps.
