THE COLD DOESN'T TAKE OVER THE BODY ALL AT ONCE.
IT STARTS WITH THE FINGERS, THE TOES, THE LOWER BACK.
THAT'S WHERE WE PUT THE WARMTH.
How does it work?
When it's cold, the body constricts the blood vessels in the skin and extremities to protect its core temperature. This is vasoconstriction. The fingers are the first to cool down.
Our clothing integrates carbon fibre filaments, mounted in flexible pads between two layers of fabric. Current from the battery flows through them and they heat up through the Joule effect. The filament is flat: heat spreads over the whole area, with no burning line.

Who is it for and when?
The body doesn't tell the difference between a trail run and a hike. It does tell the difference between -5 °C in the dry and 3 °C in the rain.
-
01
Damp cold
0 TO 8 °C
-
Rain or fog. Moisture speeds up heat loss, especially when you stop, as sweat cools on the skin. Autumn trail running, cycling, hiking. -
02
Dry cold
0 TO -10 °C
-
Fingers and toes cool down first, then concentration. Skiing, ski touring, dawn outings. -
03
EXTREME COLD
BELOW -10 °C
-
The body keeps its heat for the core and leaves the extremities aside. Gloves, socks and jacket together. -
04
Cold-sensitive hands

FAQ
The questions our customer service team gets asked most often.
What temperature does each level reach?
What temperature does each level reach?
35 °C on low, 45 °C on medium, 55 °C on high. Low is often enough when you're moving; high is for when you're stationary.
Why carbon fibre?
Why carbon fibre?
It's flexible and spreads the heat. A thin metal wire heats along a narrow line and is felt more.
How long does it take to charge?
How long does it take to charge?
4 to 5 h for the jacket battery. 6 to 7 h for the other batteries.
Can the garment be washed?
Can the garment be washed?
Yes, machine wash at 30 °C with the battery removed. No tumble dryer, no wringing.
Put it into practice
Heated jackets, gloves, socks and base layers.
