Heated Outerwear

The majority of heated wear is designed for winter sports enthusiasts, such as downhill skiing, diving, motorcycle riding, and snowmobiling. Also, outdoor personnel, such as carpenters or construction workers can use battery-powered heated clothing or wear that uses stored heat or chemical reactions. Normal clothing retains body heat keeping a person warm, but when garments get damp from the sweat of rain, they can lose their heat-insulating qualities during rest periods when the body produces less heat. Prepare yourself for cold-weather conditions by choosing our comfortable heated socks, pants, coats, jackets, vests, and gloves by some of the most reputable manufacturers in the industry.

Electrically-heated wear uses 5, 7, or 12-volt Li-ion or Li-Polymer power banks. Portable 5-volt batteries are most popular because, besides heating, it allows for charging personal electronics. 12-volts systems are designed for snowmobile riders and motorists that use their ATVs in winter. Such heated wear can be plugged into the vehicle’s electrical system. If the weather becomes warmer, you can detach the controller and battery to use the garment as regular wear. Clothing that uses stored heat technology employs plastic packages with the gel that can be heated in a microwave oven before going outside. These packages go into special pouches and can retain their heat up to two hours.
