Description
Heated base layer for women with heated collar and long sleeves
This version of the Heat Layer has 9 heat zones: two panels on the chest, two in the upper arms, a heated collar, two panels on the lower back and two panels on the sides. It also has connections at the sleeve ends for gloves or glove liners.
Heat where you need it. Our Softheat™ carbon-fibre heating panels are positioned exactly where heat is needed for optimal heat transfer. Through extensive testing, we have developed two different panel-placement patterns tailored to the distinct men’s and women’s designs. Given differences in body shape, it is no surprise that the optimal panel placement differs between men and women.
More control over the heat. How much warmth you need depends on several factors, such as outside temperature and which layers you wear underneath or over the garment. Some manufacturers pair an underpowered battery with a basic 3-level button controller to keep costs down, which often leaves users dissatisfied. By using twice as many heating panels and more available power, the Heat Layer delivers a more even warmth where the differences between heat levels are clear and useful. We felt that 3 levels were not sufficient and therefore first moved to 4 levels and later to 6 levels, after identifying clear “sweet spots” between the two highest levels in the original 4-level solution. We have also developed a remote-controlled multi-voltage controller (accepting up to 18 V DC and converting this to a safe heat range for the garment), enabling wireless heat control from 0–100% via a dial.
Only the best is used in the Heat Layer. High-tech, moisture-wicking stretch fabric with different fits for women and men.

High-tech, moisture-wicking stretch fabric. There is simply no better fabric for this type of garment. Like a close-fitting top, the stretch material keeps the garment – and above all the heating panels – close to the body for optimal heat transfer. This high efficiency means less power and heat are required to achieve a comfortable temperature. In addition to the fit, the material is designed for high comfort and effective moisture management. Users often point out that, besides feeling the warmth, the garment fits so well that you hardly notice it is there.
