Winter in Wisconsin often became quite brisk.  -40 F (or C) was not 
unusual.  As long as the wind is not blowing it is not too bad in the 
sun.  When we were ice fishing at night we would keep spare batteries for 
our tip ups in our t-shirt pockets next to our skin.  About every 30 
minutes or so we would exchange the batteries to warm the cold ones and 
allow the lights on our tip ups to work properly.  I normally stayed warm 
by cutting new holes ;)  From experience therefore I believe your 
suggestion to be a good one.
