To battle the cold in the barn where I spend most of my time, I made an electric coat this year. While the electronic mechanism is working great, I am having second thoughts about the material I used and would appreciate some advice. I had two poly/ fleece jackets that I picked up fairly cheaply at Walmart. I took the "base" jacket and sewed the wire onto the outside of it. Then, the final jacket is put on. The final jacket is also poly-fleece and serves to help retain the heat generated by the wiring.
The problem I'm having is sweating. It's not much, but very annoying. I have to turn everything off and then up cold from the small amount of sweat that was produced. I have enough wire left over to line another jacket. Instead of fleece this time, what might I use that would be better? I already don't like the tightness of the fleece and would prefer something more lose fitting. Something that wouldn't promote as much sweating and, if it does, dries quickly. I have very thin coaches jackets in the closet that are mostly nylon or poly outside with a very thin white cotton lining. I might use one of those as the next candidate, but welcome any advice. Thank you in advance.
