transporting clarinets in winter

A week or so ago I read some posts about keeping your clarinet warm between home and rehearsal hall and someone said that it would be nice if someone invented something to keep the clarinet warm. Then it dawned on me...someone has!!! It's called a Heated Ski Boot Bag. Before posting the information on BBoards, I asked a friend who owns one how hot they get. She said there are 3 heat settings. Without being able to exactly measure the temperature, I would imagine the lowest temp could be safe. You plug it into what used to be called the "cigarette lighter" in your car. They're very roomy inside and certainly should be able to hold a clarinet case...or two. Any thoughts on whether or not this would be safe to use with your clarinet? On weekends it could double for your skiing adventures.

If you are trudging between the dorm and a studio many blocks away through deep snow when this will take some time, I suppose this is a practical solution.

However

In normal situations where you go from house to car and car to destination, I don't feel that a heat source is necessary.

But I have to admit the boot warmer sounds pretty cool.
