It is difficult to accurately measure how warm our heated clothing gets
there are a lot of variables to consider! For instance, ambient temperature, body
temperature, the brand of the battery you choose, and even your gender.
We can't do much about the last one, but we've compiled this handy guide to help you
get the most out of your heated clobber.
The Big Challenge
Don't take our word for it: here's a test you can perform at home.
First use our heated gloves on warm hands. Then remove the gloves, run your hands under the
cold tap until they feel positively freezing, dry them, and try the gloves again. Big
difference? We think so.
1. Run your hands under cold water
2. Remove hands when very cold
Ambient Temperature
You may not notice much of an effect if you test your heated item in your
cosy living room, but you'll certainly feel the difference if you flick on the heat
while standing at the bus stop on a cold morning, or while walking the dog in nippy
weather.
Body Temperature
If you've been outside for a while, your body temperature will drop, and
blood circulation to your extremities will slow down, making your fingers and toes very
sensitive to the cold. The heat generated by our heated gloves, for example, will be
immediately noticeable, and will seem much hotter than it would if you had just come from
somewhere warm. If you've just left the house, the clothing might not seem very hot, but
as you get used to the colder environment and your body temperature begins to drop, the
heat will help maintain a comfortable temperature.
Battery Brand
We at Warmawear have worked hard to balance the length of the battery life with
the level of warmth generated, ensuring that you get the best possible performance for the
best value.
In our tests, we have found Energizer Lithium batteries unbeatable for combined warmth and
longevity.
In addition to this, we recommend you turn your clothing on and off in bursts, to keep you
warm while maximising your battery life. This is easily achieved thanks to the convenient
on/off switch located on all of our products.
