UNIQLO unveils Heattech line designed for optimal comfort

UNIQLO developed the new HEATTECH Extra Warm line in response to customer demand for HEATTECH apparel designed for extra warmth, even in extreme cold.

HEATTECH Extra Warm is made from a special HEATTECH fabric that features a different knit construction and a napped inner surface, creating a layer with air pockets.

This special fabric makes HEATTECH Extra Warm up to 1.5 times warmer than regular HEATTECH (calculated using clo figures, which measure clothing insulation. Refers to the warmth of HEATTECH Extra Warm compared with regular HEATTECH innerwear. Men's 1.4 times, and women's 1.6, on average). (Test method is ISO9920).

Blending Camellia Oil into the Fabric, for a Softer Fabric Texture

Camellia oil has been blended into the fabric of women's HEATTECH innerwear to produce an even softer fabric texture.

Superb Range of Colors and Patterns, Featuring Collaborative Prints

UNIQLO is offering a terrific range of fresh designs for its HEATTECH lines for women this season. Sales for new lines created in collaboration with print designer Celia Birtwell, textiles brand SOU·SOU, fashion designer Orla Kiely and design firm EK JAM FACTORY BY ELEY KISHIMOTO will begin in stages from September. Designs include new, original textile patterns designed specifically for HEATTECH.

These colorful prints are set to offer a great contrast to the traditionally more subdued winter styles. UNIQLO has also added fun prints to its kids' HEATTECH lineup, designed to brighten up gray winter days. The new lineup for kids includes designs co-created with girls' favorites, such as homeware and textiles label GreenGate and Hello Kitty designer Sanrio, with Pokémon cartoon prints for the boys.

HEATTECH Technology

UNIQLO's efforts to continually enhance the performance of the HEATTECH line are driven by customer feedback from around the world. Not only has UNIQLO been able to improve the performance of HEATTECH's core functions to develop fabric that is warmer, thinner, and lighter, it has also successfully added several new features, including quick dry, anti-odor, and odor control. UNIQLO is committed to continuing its quest to create garments that offer even greater comfort.
