Stay warm this winter with heated clothing! From gloves to gilets, socks to sweaters and hats to jackets, there is a whole range of garments out there to keep you sizzling hot!


Chemical packages which react when exposed to air or when twisted, or packets of gel which store heat after being heated in the microwave, can keep you warm for several hours when placed in a pouch inside clothing, depending on the size of the packet, thickness of insulation, and the outdoor temperature.


The most eff ective method of heating is electrical. Clothing fi tted out with heating elements and powered by rechargeable batteries can stay warm for up to fi ve hours - and some have variable heat settings as well as an on/off switch.


If on a motorbike, some clothing can be wired into the cigarette lighter or straight into the bike’s battery, and other items can even be plugged directly into the mains – for example gloves that connect to a computer’s USB port!


An alternative way to keep warm is thermal clothing, which does not produce heat itself, but prevents body heat from escaping by warming the layer of air between the skin and the clothing. New synthetic materials such as polypropylene provide excellent insulation, reduce moisture and are so lightweight that they can be worn discreetly as underwear under normal clothing.
