Heated Clothing

Innovative Sports heated clothing is the most advanced personal climate control system ever created. For the first time ever, we have created a heated clothing system that uses all cloth washable internals to heat the full surface area of the chest and back. The Lithium battery for this jacket is only the size of a deck of cards and is shaped with a curve to fit comfortably against your body.

Our clothing heats up to a maximum of 140 F, where as similar products like The Northface Met-5 heat only in the front and reach a max temp of 104 F. We use a single battery the same size as each of the two in the Met-5 to heat twice the surface area. How is this possible? Simple… We are the best. You cannot find a comparable product anywhere.

Utilized as a zip in lining by Div 1A college football programs across the country, this clothing is the answer portable heating. Made of Schoeller's WB-400 fabric, this softshell clothing is lightweight and almost completely waterproof, and can keep even the most susceptible to cold comfy and warm in frigid conditions. Why put up with being cold anymore when you don’t have to? Wear it under camo on hunt, or hit the slopes one time in this clothing and you will never want to go back.

Heated Clothing Applications For Defense: The applications for a heated jacket in the military are numerous.  The Army, including Infantry, Special Forces, Future Force Warrior, and the Navy Seals all have portable heating needs that are easily met by the LSHIS (Lithium Specific Heated Internal System).  Innovative Sports fits the LSHIS system to custom military designs that span almost the entire armed forces vein.  The dynamic capabilities of the LSHIS system has created the finest tactical grade outerwear solutions found anywhere.  Commercial versions of these designs are available through the Innovative Sports Heated Clothing online store. These designs are capable of integrating multiple electronic devices such as GPS navigation; which can be lifesaving assets in remote locations.   In the Military, any soldier who performs tactical maneuvers in cold conditions, or who sits in a stationary position for long periods of time can receive great benefit from this type of wearable technology.  In addition, Federal Law Enforcement, and local police and EMT personnel, can also utilize this technology under the blanket of Homeland Security funding sources.

  HOW IT WORKS


Energy, or heat, diffuses from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In other words, because the human body is warmer in most cases than the air around it, body heat diffuses into the air when a garment does not hold that heat in. Baseball players, and more importantly, the pitchers "warming up" before the game, try to retain this body heat by wearing jackets in between innings.

Taking this idea a step further, when a pitcher leaves an ordinary jacket on a bench or dugout, the garment cools back down to the same temperature around it. And, when the pitcher puts it back on, the jacket actually cools the body initially until it is eventually warmed to the body's temperature through diffusion. (One can liken this effect to that of bed sheets which are the same temperature as the air in a room but still send an initial chill through your body when you get into an unoccupied bed at night.)

The colder the weather and the colder the jacket, the longer this heating process will take. Eventually, when a temperature equilibrium is reached between your arm and the jacket sleeve, the temperature will remain only semi-constant. At no time during this process does a normal jacket offer any heating. A jacket only provides insulation, and if worn for only a short period of time (such as in a short half inning) it actually will produce more of a cooling effect.
