Actively heated or cooled garments or footwear

A garment with active temperature control, comprising:

• a plurality of separate heating or cooling elements disposed in different portions of the garment;
• one or more batteries;
• one or more power receivers;
• one or more sensors;
• and
• circuitry configured to control delivery of power to the heating or cooling elements to heat or cool the different portions of the garment associated with the heating or cooling elements and configured to wirelessly communicate with a remote electronic device, the circuitry configured to independently control operation of each of the heating or cooling elements based at least in part on user provided input on the remote electronic device that the circuitry wirelessly receives from the remote electronic device, wherein the one or more sensors are located in one or more portions of the garment and configured to sense one or more parameters chosen from a body temperature, an ambient temperature, a humidity, an oxygen level and a heart rate, the one or more sensors configured to communicate sensed parameter information to the circuitry, the circuitry configured to automatically control the operation of the one or more heating or cooling elements based at least in part on the sensed parameter information.
