In hall A6 at booth 403, the company will be showcasing several models from its Solaris line of heated ski gloves. In the ThermoTec textile heating system, which is based on Interactive Wear's new iThermX technology platform, the heat supply is governed by a microcontroller and monitored by sensors.
Energy is only supplied when the temperature drops below a pre-set limit at portions of the wearer's hand that are sensitive to the cold. Using special, highly flexible heating elements, heat is generated selectively within the glove without restricting movement.
Two low-profile, lightweight rechargeable lithium ion batteries supply each system with power. Thanks to the small size and low weight of the iThermX technology components, the developers succeeded in designing an extremely efficient, powerful and exceptionally lightweight heated glove with ThermoTec.
