LOL @ thinking a heavy coat would be adequate protection on the moon

don't forget the scuba tank. the moon only gets down below -200F on rare occasions and sometimes it could be over 200F, so he wouldn't even need the coat!

I rarely (never) get into scientific arguments here, but the issue isn't the moon's latent temperature, it's the rate of heat dissipation. You need insulation, not a heat source.
Especially since you aren't there to screw around, pop in, get a gander, pop out.
Edit: Of course I'm not saying with certainty how much insulation is necessary (spacesuits have a several layers (goretex and whatnot, but they're designed for prolonged exposure) but you don't need to be packing a heat source (ignorance about what 'cold' is).
The real concern for the scuba+coat setup is a lack of a pressurized environment which would cause your body's fluids to boil.
