YackisbackSup NS, so I was wondering if anyone had any ingenious ways of preventing their phone from falling victim to cold temperatures, other than by keeping it in your jacket. I'm sure just about everyone has experienced pulling their phone out of their jacket on the lift, putting it back in your jacket, only to have it die. So my question is, does anyone have any methods they use to keep their phone at a warmer temp? I've used a bulky glove and that seemed to work, just looking for something sleeker.
OldNJadedUse your “prison pocket”...?
snowpocalypseI tape it to my ball sack. Stays nice and warm. Bonus points when its on vibrate.
chammond86@Yackisback: I would take a look at the Lifepocket we just launched here at Helly Hansen.
We designed the Lifepocket with Primaloft (Who worked with NASA on the tech) and the Canadian Alpine team to preserve cell phone battery life. The pocket has aerogel on the outside to protect from cold and a laminate on the inside to protect from sweat, the pocket essentially is a mobile phone convection oven. It draws and stores heat from you and protects the liquid in the cell phone’s battery from freezing, even working up to negative 28-degrees with or without a phone case.

VinnieFIt's amazing the money and resources put into such trivial and useless things like being able to instagram all day at the ski hill without your battery dying.
IsitWinterYet17Put your phone in a sock in your inner breast pocket. Works for all but the coldest days. Gonna try lining some fabric with a space blanket. Will report back with how well it works. Also consider if your phone is just on standby and not being used, its internal temperature will be lower than if you're running apps and playing music. Phones shut down to protect the battery when they are exposed to low temperatures.

Turd__AuthorityIt's pretty much every phone man. The batteries can't operate well at low temps. If you slip it in a sock or phone case made for keeping warm, and then run music or GPS and put in breast pocket, it will never die on you. I've been fine in down to -5F air temps with my case I made- could probably go a bit lower but I doubt I'll ever want to ski colder than that. The key is definitely to have stuff running on the phone so it generates a little bit of heat and then the case insulates and helps trap some of that heat. If you're not running anything, your phone will get cold and die even with a case.
BiffbarfIt's complete bro-science, but my experience has been samsung's battery does wayyyyy better than apple's in a cold ski jacket pocket
SkiBronJamesI bet when you fall your battery falls out tho
