I have a Zebra Onsie that I like to wear around the house. It's a most excellent item of clothing but has one failing feature: the long frontal zip is very cold against the bare skin when you first put it on. Heated Onsie Zipper solves this pernicious omission.
It's a simple device that involves
the embedding of tiny heating elements into each of the zipper's teeth. The elements are all connected together by fine, ultra flexible wires running along the length of the zipper fabric.
Of course there also needs to be a detachable alarm clock connected system for activating the heated zipper, prior to actually donning the Onesie first thing in the morning.
This takes the form of a small USB stick, which also contains some rechargeable batteries. The USB is charged and reprogrammed the night before, then plugged into a discrete dongle receiver on the Onesie.
My Zebra Onesie has a tail, so that's a good place for it. At the appointed hour and minute, the USB dongle delivers enough energy to heat up the teeth of the zipper, so that they are now nice and warm and ready for wearing against the bare skin.
Happy days, and happy new year to all those who crave their icy zippers to have heated teeth.

I like the fact that this is in fashion:pants:closing as
if a onesie is a pair of trousers with a really high
waistband, a hood and a couple of sleeves. |

You might try applying a hair dryer to the zipper
before putting on this article of clothing. |
|
| |
You can do that. My Onsie will require none of those
shenanigans, as the zipper will be preheated and ready for
me! |
|
| |
The visual scares me and I've no idea what you look
like. But anyone in a Zebra Onsie frightens me. With
a tail, especially. That is anyone over the age of five,
which I think you are. Scary. |

Bliss - get someone to click on the link as you view through slightly parted fingers - the horror! the horror! |

Why not just put a shielding flap on the inside of the zip, as done on
higher-quality sleeping bags ? Simple, yet very effective. |
|
| |
I am at peace with the zebra onesie, though I wouldn't wear it myself.
I used to think shielding flaps were a crime against symmetry: you
would know they were there even if no-one else did and eventually
you'd be destroyed by the heebie-jeebies. I now realise that
consistency would require the same issue to be applied to the fact
that zip teeth themselves are not at the same level on both sides. I'm
rather glad I didn't think of that until now. |

Steam powered. It must be steam powered. |
|
| |
Freakish and frightening, just as I thought. |
|
| |
Actually, if each zip nodule was hollowed out and filled with an appropriate working fluid, the compression of zipping-up would provide a morsel of heat. |
|
| |
I suspect my son would appreciate this idea. |
