Many people love to enjoy winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and cycling. However, enjoying outdoor activities for a long time may lower the body temperature leading to the hypothermia. This disease occurs when the body temperature goes down lower than 35 degrees because the body loses heat faster than it produces heat. According to the figure from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 13,400 hypothermia-associated deaths occurred in the United States from 2003 to 2013.
Therefore, it is important to make sure to keep body temperature while enjoying sports. However, some people still avoid wearing thick clothes because it makes body movement heavier and logged. They do not want to be bothered from moving while playing sports.
There is a smart vest to help enjoy winter sports healthy. A Vestronic is a perfect winter vest that heat technology is applied. Frankly speaking, heating vest itself is no longer a special jacket because it is easy to find in many outdoor clothing brands. Nevertheless, Vestronic is definitely competitive for its special technology.
Vestronic is a USB-rechargeable heating vest. However, a special exothermic filling was added for 24-hour heating even if the battery has run out. This special filling helps maintain the heat by reacting to the solar energy during the daytime, and to the far-infrared radiation during the night time or indoors. This makes us feel 5-7 degrees warmer than wearing ordinary goose down jacket.
This heat-lasting Vestronic enables us enjoy outdoor activities with no regard to weather. Putting on just a single vest makes us feel lighter and more comfortable to move than wearing thick and layered clothes.
Ryu, a CEO of Vestronic, was firstly running a helmet business and most of his clients were delivery men. He noticed that they usually drive the motorbike even in winter and decided to develop a special warm and light jacket for those delivery riders. The innovative heating vest came out for such reason.
“Vestronic is just a start. Not only heating, I am also planning to develop cooling vest for the summer. The next big thing is IoT(Internet of Things)-combined smart vest. I wish to control the temperature of the clothes using mobile application. If this is possible, clothes may even help relax our body and more.” said Ryu.
