Heat retention for winter operation

FuelWear, based in Toronto, Canada, has launched the Flame Base Layer.

This shirt is battery operated but can be washed. Moreover, the shirt also feels when it needs more heat and when to reduce the heat, so that users do not have to take off clothes when participating in outdoor activities in winter.

For example, during a skiing session, you may sweat while working on steep slopes, but when you wait for the cable car, your body temperature may be lowered immediately. This shirt will solve that problem.

Winter Flame Base Layer Vest

Material is made from bamboo, very soft, able to absorb moisture and odor. The red panels on the front and back of the shirt are the pieces of heat.

Developers estimate that the technology of the Flame Base Layer can increase 10 degrees Celsius of body temperature within 3 hours and that smaller amounts can give longer warming times.

The Flame Base Layer project is funded by the community. The initial target of the project was CAD 20,000 (€ 14,168), but it outperformed the company with CAD 52,000 (approximately € 37,000).

The shirt can be pre-ordered at CAD 150 (about 106 euros), saving a lot of money compared to the retail price of CAD 250 (around € 177).

The title has been changed.
