Our brilliant heated Ardeo gilet was featured on the Frost Free Fashion clothing feature today on the This Morning program as the program makers were looking for something innovative and different as the weather has suddenly turned very cold over most of Europe and with snow forecast.
You can see the video here on the ITV website site 3 minutes 10 seconds into the video.

The winter special of the Gadget Show screened Monday Dec 19th features our Powermax heated gloves so watch out for these as they have performed very well in the tests on the program. The Powermax gloves have been very popular this year particularly for the cycling and para gliding markets and in recent tests in Norway came out as the best value for money when tested against a number of other brands.

Recently we had the results back from our distributor in Norway of exstensive tests carried out in Norway for our Powermax gloves. The magazine article is in Norwegian but the feedback was as follows.
Attached is the test results in the pdf file, this is in Norwegian, but as you look at the picture, we noticed the gloves with the "best value" competitors was twice as expensive as it was not a fair competition,
Remember that this is a test that is extremely complete, the gloves are tested against gloves that cost twice as much, there are 8 people who have used the gloves every day for 2 months. So I think we should be very happy, you'll probably to get many requests from retailers who want to sell the gloves.
As with any independent tests, the results are totally impartial and we are very happy with the tests. All of our gloves are powered by the same high quality heating elements and in the price range that we sell, represent great value for money.
A special thank you to our distributors Isfritt in Norway for their help in submitting the gloves for the testing.

We ask our customers to tell us how blazewear beneifts them and we are always on the look out for interesting applications so at this time of year we were thrilled to receive this one.
Hello,
I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my Blazewear gilet and heated insoles; at this time of year I work as an elf for Santa (yes, really!) giving sleigh rides and handling reindeer on display which involves standing around for long periods of time outdoors in the cold. We also do lots of evening jobs and as we travel to various locations we have plenty of early morning starts when everything is frozen! I feel the cold very easily (even having an electric blanket on during the summer!) and I wear fleeces when most people are in t-shirts, so one of my on-going issues has been to find a way to keep warm safely for long periods of time, that still allows me to move around quickly when working with animals.
Because I have to wear an elf costume I do not have room for too many layers, nor can I wear a warm jacket as it doesn't look the part, so I normally dread this time of year because its such a struggle to stay warm. I used to have microwaveable heat pads that I'd heat up and stuff down my jacket, but they didn't last very long and as I had no way of fixing them in place they'd slip out, which was not an ideal situation when we were in the middle of a parade, or as I was leading a reindeer.
I bought an extra battery and car charger for the gilet and I am so pleased with it - on one evening job it started raining; 4 hours later I was still warm and cosy. The heated insoles are fantastic too even when standing round for hours on cold surfaces, and both items are easy to turn on/off even when wearing gloves. Wearing something that keeps me warm without any hassle means I can concentrate on doing my job and I'm free to use both hands instead of having one permanently clutched round a hot water bottle. Also, we have to arrive at some events already dressed in our costumes, so being able to turn the gilet and insoles on when I arrive is brilliant (the heat pads started losing heat straight out the microwave; when driving to an event away from home sometimes they'd already be cold before we'd even arrived at the location!) The fact that I can wear the gilet and insoles as part of my outfit takes away the worry of hunting round for an extra layer to put on mid-way through a job when I start feeling the cold - now its just a case of pressing a button and seconds later I can feel the heat.
The rest of the year we train horses for carriage driving, which can also be quite a chilly job with long periods outdoors in all weathers, sat on a high carriage with the wind blowing straight at you, so I shall be using my Blazewear clothes year-round. They'e had the toughest trial period during our Christmas work, and they've performed so well that I have no concerns whatsoever about keeping warm the rest of the year. Our photographer has taken some pictures of me wearing the gilet whilst out on an elf job, which I will be putting up on our Facebook page soon along with a recommendation as I'm so pleased with it! Another thing that impressed me is the speed of delivery - everything I've ordered has arrived sooner than expected, so I have no hesitation in recommending both your product and your customer service. So a huge thank you for producing such a wonderful heated gilet and insoles that actually do keep my feet warm - Blazewear has now been endorsed by Santa's elves!
Many thanks,

It's always nice to get positive feedback from our customers and here is a really nice one that we received today.
Hi There I got my waistcoat the day after I ordered it, and it is smashing. Congratulations on very good product, and an excellent service. I think you have very good products, and a great service - which is why between my dad, my husband, and myself, we now own three jackets and two waistcoats purchased over several years !!!

Well its that time of year again winter is upon us and I must admit I was thinking way back in July this year that I must get some gear sorted for winter as the last two winters have been very cold here .(cumbria)
I am employed full time as a Red squirrel conservation ranger and spend most of my time out in the woods monitoring red squirrel populations and controlling grey squirrels .I set up feeding areas within woodlands to monitor the squirrels and the best way to see what is going on is to sit and wait .
Now in winter this can be a very long cold wait , last year I was sat out in one woodland and it was minus 15 , needless to say I was up and down trying to keep warm. Also the last two years I have suffered quite badly with chilblains on my toes ,fingers and ears so I needed to do something to combat this and keep myself warmer this winter .
So a couple of weeks ago I decided I needed to search the Internet to see what was out there .I came across the Blazewear website and was interested with what they had to offer ,so I sent an enquiry email to ask about their products.
Next day I received an email from blazewear who said they would like to send me some of the gloves ,insoles and one of the garments they do for me to try and see what I thought of the products , a big thank you email returned and 48 hrs later a courier arrived with a package for me . In the package was a deluxe men's gilet in khaki green , Activa sports gloves ,heated insoles and a number of chargers and batteries . So the batteries all went on charge and I had a closer look at the items , I must say was very impressed with quality of the items ,seem to be very well made .
Well this Morning was the morning early start as usual and I was heading off to a woodland to sit and monitor the area and you guessed it there was a touch of frost brilliant I thought to myself I can now try out the blazeware gear . Arrived at the woodland and it seemed to be even colder so I got all my gear sorted and headed off to sit in wait .
Insoles were placed in my Muck boots and the garter and batteries attached around my leg .The wire from the insoles plugged in and switched on .I liked the fact that you can switch the battery on and off with a little button on the battery and do not need to unplug the wire .The wire from the insoles just about reached the top of my muck boots which was good as I could secure the garter at this height and would be able to reach in and switch on and off if needed .Maybe an idea for the wire from the insoles to be to be a bit longer ? or perhaps sell an extension wire so user could then have the garter secured further up leg if desired ? Not a criticism just a thought , however if I was wearing my Leather hunting boots then the wire from the insole would be more than long enough .
Within 10 minutes I could feel the benefit of the insoles feet were nice and warm and comfortable just the job because there is nowt worse than cold toes, takes your concentration away in my opinion .Also when I went for a walk about I never noticed the garter was there and comfort was not affected in anyway .
Deluxe Gilet placed on top of my sweatshirt then my Jack pyke woodland camo jacket on top . I had been sent the high capacity battery along so to compare along with the standard battery and I was using the high capacity battery today .The battery and controller fit in pockets inside the garment near the bottom ,the controller is a nice feature with on/off,low,med,high settings, I started by setting to high to warm up the gilet as quick as possible .Within minutes I could feel the warmth on my back and down the sides of my front /chest area so I set the controller to medium .The giblet reminded me of my electric blanket with that nice warm feeling (I live in an old house with an open fire and a woodburner for sources of heating and believe me I need an electric blanket )Two hours later I was still sat there nice and warm and watching red squirrels darting about .Decided to go and have a walk about for half an hour so switched the gilet off to conserve battery power plus to be honest I was warm enough .
Activa sports gloves now I must admit I am not a great lover of wearing gloves always find they get in the way in my job but needs must and when you are sitting waiting and watching you defiantly need gloves on as you can soon take them off when you need too , but somehow my finger tips always seem to get/stay cold .The gloves are well padded with thinsulate ,nice feature of pocket with see through window so you can see the battery on /off switch and the green light so you know the gloves are switched on .Within 10 mins of switching on I could feel the warmth coming through and my hands were cold when I put the gloves on ,once warm my hands stayed warm for the two hours I sat there, brilliant I have now got something that will keep my fingers warm and when I need to use my trigger finger I will be able to feel it on the trigger which always helps !
Well I must say my first outing with the Blazewear items was a success I am very impressed with the performance of all the items I tested , ok the weather is sure to get much colder but I am more than happy that the products will perform very well and will be advising you of my findings when we have the real cold weather , the snow, minus 10 etc etc .
Some of you may be thinking you are getting soft in your old age , well firstly less of the old I am 43 years young and my view is if there is technology out there to make use of that works then use it and Blazewear certainly ticks all the boxes for me .So if you are a Hunter ,Shooter and want to feel warmer and more comfortable this winter whilst you are out in the woods I highly recommend you visit www.blazewear.com

We were recently invited to test out our new Powermax gloves in some of the most extreme conditions to see how well they would perform. Eddie Colfox runs paragliding tours each Autumn in the Himalayas and he invited us to allow him to test out our gloves on a recent trip. You can view Eddie’s website at http://www.himalayanskysafaris.com/
Here is what Eddie has to say about the gloves –
I can reliably say that the Blazewear gloves have been fantastic. The charge has lasted long enough, the batteries seem to cope with the cold and my fingers were almost warm despite being held above my head for a couple of hours at about 5000m where it was below freezing in a 35kph wind. The gloves are wonderful for paragliding as not only do your fingers stay warm, you only have to press the on switch, you don't have to fiddle around changing into mitts which is a scary time as it takes a couple of minutes and it hard to grab hold of the controls whilst changing gloves without losing them which is expensive. The alternative is suffering a collapse which is scary!! Not only do you keep warm hands you can still operate the camera, and fiddle adjust instruments. This is hard to do in big mitts.
I definitely think they are good at the job and great value for money.
Have a look at our Powermax gloves which are our best to date and have been designed based on much feedback that we have received from our valued customers.
