Hot Stuff

When it comes to keeping warm, SnowShack goes well beyond the basics. Aptly named Hot Buns" are a thoughtful gift for skiers, boarders, stadium sitters, sailors, fishermen, hunters, or anyone who sits in a cold wet place. Versatile neoprene wrap (dry suit material) covers the seat and rear thigh, protecting against cold and moisture in all conditions. Hot Buns strap on with a webbed strap, held in place by a Velcro closure and can roll up into a belt around the waist when not in use. Best of all, SnowShack carries a junior size version of Hot Buns, great for kids who sit in the snow a lot!

Have anyone on your gift list that complains of cold feet? SnowShack suggests the ultimate Hotronic solution. High-end Hotronic Power Plus Foot Warmers are easy to use heatable insoles, powered by a battery pack. Simply trim the insoles to size, charge the battery pack, and insert the insoles in virtually all types of footwear, from ski boots to bicycle shoes, fishing waders to hunting boots, to general outdoor and winter boots. Even State Troopers on duty at the Patriots snowy triumph over the Steelers used Hotronic Foot Warmers!

Heat radiates throughout the element located in the insole and is controlled by an easy to adjust, temperature-setting dial. The new Hotronic Foot Warmer heats up to 13 hours on a single charge and an LED indicates whether the power is on or off. The perfect gift to banish the problem of icy cold feet forever!

Cool Gifts to Warm Kids

Grandma and Grandpa, or great Aunt Nellie, want to buy something useful for the kids but they theyre worried that it wont fit or will be outdated. Send them directly to SnowShack.com for the SnowShack solution. Kids two-piece Suku Suku suits from Phenix are just one example of the innovative kids sized high tech snow wear found at SnowShack.

The Phenix adjustable Suku Suku mini suits grow along with the kids, simply pull the drawstrings at the back of the jacket to adjust the sleeve length and pull the drawstrings on either side of the waist to adjust the length of the bib pants up to 8 inches! The ski and snowboard jacket and pants are designed for two full seasons worth of growth and make the perfect gift for growing kids. Suku Suku suits, sized 0-4, 2-6, 4-8, and 6-10, also offer the superior water resistance, windproofing, and breathability that are the hallmark of Phenix fabric.

Try Wristie" snowcuffs for a neat stocking stuffer and put an end to the pesky buildup of snow between kids gloves and sleeves. Wristies start above the wrist and cover the lower part of the hand with a thumbhole to hold them on, forming a barrier between jacket sleeves and gloves to keep out cold and snow. They also help keep kids hands warm when dexterity counts - while adjusting goggles, boots or buckles on the hill!

Celebrate the season by helping your little ones enjoy the snow without cold wet hands. Wrap up a pair of L-Bow Mittens for kids from one to six, an over-the-elbow waterproof mitten, designed to be worn over children's winter clothing, keeping their hands and wrists warm and dry while they play in the snow. The ability to keep water out comes from L-Bow Mittens internal bladder system, comprised of a plastic barrier located between the taslon shell and the insulation that surrounds the child's hand.
