Weekly Project: Hottie Hoodie--Be a Walking a Weather Station

Weekly Project: Hottie Hoodie--Be a Walking a Weather Station
Small digital thermometers that can be stuck on a window are great for monitoring outdoor temperatures. They can also be easily adapted to a more mobile lifestyle. In fact, with just a few simple modifications, you can convert any garment into a fashionable weather station.

Whether you wear your own temperature on your sleeve or proudly display the ambient temps around your hot body for others to enjoy, a Hottie Hoodie can quickly tell you what you probably already know, that "it's cold as ice" outside today.

While the temperatures depicted by the Hottie Hoodie might not be 100% accurate due to emissive thermal radiation from dark and light fabric colors, at least you'll never be a foreigner to the weather around you, again.

I like this. very nice! I don't know if it's going to make my days any happier simply because I know the temperature, but it's sure to catch other's attention...

I can see it now, someone is going to forget to take the thermometer off and is going to wash their hoodie..... Genius. _

nice. kinda on the pointless side, but nice.
