How it Works
When colder outside temperatures are detected, the nervous system restricts
blood flow to the extremities to maintain the body's core temperatures. The
toes and the fingers quickly become uncomfortably cold.
Other factors besides just cold weather or wind chill aggravate the situation
even more. Poorly fitting clothing, physical activity levels, individual
physiology, and improper selection, use, and care of your clothing are all
additional factors that increase the negative effects of the cold. Also, the
presence of moisture increases thermal transfer significantly. This causes heat
to escape more rapidly and cold to penetrate faster.
Although we all have different tolerance levels for the cold, we all know what it
is like to be warm and comfortable. Gerbing's Heated Clothing works with the
body's natural ability to generate heat. Adjusting the intensity of the heat
allows the user to stay warm and comfortable in a wider range of temperatures
without tapping into the resources the body needs to maintain its other health
dependent functions. Our products allow you to concentrate heat to specific
areas of the body such as just your hands, feet or your entire core, helping to
offset the effects of being cold.
You know how it feels when
you put on warm clothes right
out of the dryer? Cozy, right? All
of us, even those who live in the
warmest climates, face the cold
at one time or another. It may
be an early morning spring
frost, a blustery fall afternoon or
a bone-chilling winter evening
after the sun goes down.
Gerbing's Heated Clothing
products will prevent you from
suffering in these environments
and help you better enjoy them
regardless of your outdoor
activity by providing that "just
out of the dryer feeling." |

Thermal factors such as air temperature, radiant temperature, air velocity
and humidity all contribute to our thermal comfort. Stubbornly, Mother
Nature refuses us the ability to control these thermal factors. However,
personal factors such as the type of clothing we wear and the activity
levels we perform are two elements of thermal comfort we can control.
