Is there a type of batting that is super warm, or would you suggest using a double layer of batting (I've never done that before). Or use fleece as the back?
Thank you for your help!

jodi,make a quilted bottom pad with insulbright to put on the stadium bench and make some square, rice filled, channel stitched pads. heat rice pads 3 or 4 min in microwave. once you are at the stadium, put down nsulbrite bottom pad, then the warm rice pads, cover legs with quilt and i think you would have a fighting chance against cold. i fill tube socks with rice and use them at home all the time. good luck. keep us posted. johnnye
