IWARM FREEVER WINTER HEATED JACKET

Forget about a cold neck or lower back: turn on the heat and adjust the heat when needed!

The first thing that catches your eye is the unremarkable appearance of the jacket. It looks very minimalistic, maybe even too minimalistic. Completely devoid of bright decor. The lining is without fur. It is also not on the collar and along the edge of the hood, as is customary for classic parkas. Instead, the manufacturer focused on quality, technology, silhouette and uniqueness of execution.

The IWARM Freever SF model is a men's winter jacket with heating. This is indicated by a small manual on the lining of the product and a barely noticeable button on the outside. In all other respects, the jacket is no different from a regular winter parka without fur, which the outerwear market offers a great variety of. But we know that "the devil is in the details". In this model, an inconspicuous component detail, which nevertheless greatly influences the essence of the product, is the heating system.

To generate and retain heat in the jacket, the manufacturer used adjustable heating technology. The carbon fiber heating element is located on the back, from the neck to the waist. By increasing or decreasing the heat level with the touch of a button, the user can quickly adapt to changing conditions.

The system is powered by a regular Power Bank, which is not included in the product package and is purchased separately. The battery capacity must be at least 5,000 mAh. Carbon fibers heat up in seconds and can work as long as your power bank is capable of.

The jacket's heating element is connected to the charger via a USB cable hidden in the inside pocket of the product. Heating is turned on using a button located on the outside of the jacket on the right pocket.

There are 3 modes to choose from: 40°C (white), 46°C (orange) and 53°C (red), as indicated by the LED indicator on the power button. Switching between modes is done by pressing the button once.

The approximate operating time of the heating element from a Power Bank with a capacity of 5000 mA is as follows:

• 40°C mode - from 5 to 7 hours;


• 46°C mode - from 4 to 6 hours;


• 53°C mode - from 2 to 4 hours.

The materials used provide maximum durability, flexibility, as well as tear and abrasion resistance. The jacket can be machine washed in the "Automatic" mode in the "Gentle wash" mode at a temperature of 30 ° C, following the recommendations for the care of the product.

Other features of the heated jacket.

UPPER MATERIAL.

The upper material is a wind and moisture-resistant membrane. This is a special type of fabric with a special structure that provides the necessary level of waterproofness and vapor permeability. In our jacket, they are, respectively, 10,000 mm and 10,000 grams per m2. What do these characteristics mean?

• Water permeability of 10,000 mm is good protection against heavy rain and wet snow (only the extreme level of 10,000 - 20,000 mm is higher).


• Vapor permeability of 10,000 g/m2 is an average value. That is, the jacket is well suited for long walks at an average pace. No matter how long you walk, moisture evaporates quickly, you do not sweat and you are comfortable. For comparison, items with a vapor permeability rate of 15,000 g/m2 and higher are designed for long-term high-intensity loads, such as: running, skiing, snowboarding.

INSULATION MATERIAL.

Hollowfiber is used as a filler. This is a non-woven material consisting of hollow polyester fibers twisted in the form of a spiral spring. It is the hollowness of the fibers that provides better thermal insulation, and the spiral configuration allows the product to retain its shape and easily restore it. In practice, this means that the insulation is less compacted. Therefore, things made of Hollofiber, even after long-term use, still hold their shape well. The insulation is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, does not absorb moisture and odors, and does not support combustion.

Like any other insulation, Hollowfiber has a certain temperature range. However, when choosing outerwear for a particular weather, the amount of insulation used is more important. This indicator is expressed in grams per 1 m2. In our jacket, its density is 240 g / m2. This means that you have in front of you definitely winter clothing that can be worn at temperatures up to - 25 ° C.

STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS.

The IWARM Freever SF heated jacket is equipped with a tightening elastic band on the waist and internal elastic cuffs on the sleeves. Together, these design elements prevent cold from penetrating from the outside and retain heat inside the product. The hood is non-removable, but has ties that allow you to adjust the volume. The jacket has "a million pockets": there are only 6 on the outside! Two of them are on the chest, they are slit with a zipper, and 4 large patch pockets on the sides, these are closed with buttons. For freedom of hands and convenience of wearing the jacket indoors (for example, in shopping and entertainment centers), straps are provided inside the product - they allow you to throw the jacket on yourself like a backpack.

The jacket is designed in such a way as not only to produce heat, but also to retain it for a long time. Therefore, it has a wind and moisture-proof membrane, high-density insulation, a non-removable hood, cuffs and a drawstring at the waist. Good thermal insulation and effective adjustable heating technology will allow you to wear a minimum of layers of clothing under the jacket and feel comfortable in severe frost and windy weather with precipitation (the main thing is not to forget the power bank)
