Default Heater got turned on

Well it has been a cool (most Texans would say cold) week here in south east Texas and I finally turned the heater on. The reason for the heater being on is the top is off and the morning temps have been in the low to mid 40s. I must say that I am very happy with the heater as driving in to work the only part of me that is cold with the lite jacket I wear is the tops of my ears.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to keep them warm without looking foolish?

I had to use the heater on the way to work (top down still) and it managed to keep me quite toasty with my thin hoody. Though a word of advice, I never use the AC during the summer (since the top is always down) so when the heater kicked on I received a face full of dust and other crap...

I drove my Jeep to class the other night and while it was only 60* I had no doors and the heater was half blasting and still gave me a burning sensation.

I want something I saw on a Hyperlite boat for my JK. They have tubes that come out of the heater vents and extend about 4 feet. Thatd be nice. Just stick one goin up the left pant leg and your whole body would be warm.

I've been rockin' the Under Armor beanie all week! Top is still off the Jeep, but it is a little chilly going to work in the mornings!

I've cranked the heater once, last winter, to keep my wife warm, and it was kicking enough heat to make me want to flip over and bake my other side.

I think the good heater is a Jeep trademark. My old TJ and the ol' ladies XJ have damn good heaters as well.

You know, Jeeps in WWII did not come with heaters!
