Good, Better, Best: Why Layering with Heated Apparel is Superior
More than just a fall fashion trend, layering is a method long-used to stay warm in chillier weather. In late fall and winter months, it’s common for people to step outside in long sleeves, a sweatshirt or sweater, vest, overcoat, hat, scarf, and gloves.
While this certainly sounds like enough layers to brave the cold in, many still find that the fall and winter chill finds its way in. On top of that, multiple layers can make it hard to move around freely.
More Warmth, Fewer Layers
Fortunately, this isn’t the end-all-be-all. With heated clothing, you can actually stay warm regardless of the amount of layers you put on. Thanks to long-lasting batteries and strategically placed heating elements, you won’t need the extra layers.
Challenge the Climate
Whether you’re on a ski trip, hiking, working outdoors, or even sitting in a chilly office, heated clothing eliminates the need for bulky layering. More than that, it supplies its own heat source so you can challenge the climate.
When typical external heat sources aren’t available—such as in a cold workplace, other indoor space with no climate control, or outdoors—heated clothing keeps you warm in an otherwise chilly environment.
Take Control with On-Demand Heat
When you have control of the heat, you have control over your adventure! Heated clothing allows for on-demand heating when you need it. Similar to a heated blanket, you can even get extra heat when you need it by increasing the temperature level—all without being tied to an outlet with a cord. You can move around freely and stay warm.
Your Body Will Thank You
Another great thing about using heated apparel in your seasonal layering is that your body works less to generate its own heat. Without the extra warmth, your body works harder to keep itself warm, potentially leading to effects like quicker fatigue. With the extra warmth, your body can do its thing for longer and in more comfort!
Make the Most of Your Time
In addition to early fatigue, facing the cold can make it hard to focus on your outdoor adventure or work. Heated clothing helps you make the most of your day. With your body working less to stay warm on its own and with less bulk from too many layers, you can spend more time staying warm and focusing on what matters. Think: longer walks with your dog! Your furry friend will love it.
Types of Heated Apparel
Fortunately, heated apparel comes in a variety of styles to suit anyone’s needs, including fan-favorites like fleece. Whether you need a full jacket or hoodie or accessories like socks and gloves, heated apparel can make your outdoor adventures, commute, or outdoor work much more comfortable.
Heated Jacket
Heated Jackets are a great option for those who are outdoors frequently and need the most coverage from the elements. Heated jackets are great for layering over fall and winter apparel. If it’s really cold out, you can even wear it underneath a large parka.
Heated Vest
Like standard vests, heated vests are an ideal layering option for both fall and winter fashions. They’re perfect for throwing on over your favorite fall flannel or wearing underneath your winter coat. Either way, heated vests will keep you warm without restricting your movement and adding bulk.
Heated Hoodie
One of the comfiest options, heated hoodies are great to hang around the house in or wear out and about. Whether you have a roommate who likes to keep the thermostat low, a seriously drafty office, want something comfy to wear on a hike, or want something to wear under your winter overcoat, heated hoodies are a great choice. Not only are they classically cozy, but they have the advanced comfort of built-in heating.
Heated Socks
Those who spend time outdoors in the snow know that there is nothing worse than icy, numb feet. It seems like they’re one of the first parts of our body to really feel the cold. That’s why heated socks are an ingenious addition to your outdoor, or indoor, wear. Heated socks provide comfort and long-lasting warmth for easily-chilled feet.
Heated Gloves and Mittens
Like our feet, our hands are another part of our body that feels the cold most immediately. Even throwing on a pair of fuzzy gloves can take awhile to actually warm up with our body temperature. With heated gloves, you get immediate warmth so your fingers won’t stiffen up with the cold and make it hard to grasp things.
