Blazewear Heated Clothing

We are following the progress of our local young boxer Louis Norman who on the 24th Feb will be fighting for the British Masters title. Louis is a committed young profesional that we featured on our website following his third professional fight. He is destined for big things and is unbeaten in his professional career.

See the picture below of Louis wearing our G6 heated vest and you can also click the link below to see a short video of Louis sparring with WBA International Super Bantamweight champion Rendall Munroe.

We have been trying to tell people for a long time just how good our gloves are but then we would say that wouldn't we so to back this up we sent a pair of our inner gloves and Powermax heated gloves to the Indpendent to be reviewed in their Science and Technology Section of the paper.

See here the pictures and review by Alex Masters of the Indpendent.

The count down is now on to the opening of the first blazewear heated clothing store which is due to open on Saturday 17th November 2012. We will be opening on limited days to allow the general public to come in and see us and try some of our heated products and to understand why so many people are amazed when they realise how good the products are and how effective the heating is.

We offer a 10% discount to all customers who make a purchase from us on our opening day and we are also giving a free gift as well. If you don't want to treat yourself then make it a special xmas for a friend or loved one by treating them to a wonderful heated product.

Don't get cold this winter and join the heated clothing reveloution along with a number of professional and amatuer sports people that are now wearing our clothes. We continue to develop the range and already have plans for some new additions for next winter.

We asked our customers recently to tell us about their heated clothes and how they use them and some of the early replies that we got that we liked are here. For everyone that replied to us with a picture or a video, we send them a new blazewear product free of charge. We receive this from Heide J Cox in East Yorkshire.

"My Powermax Sports gloves have remained invaluable since my trip to Tignes last year when I left my first feedback about them. I am a monoskier with Raynauds and as well as skiing abroad as many times as possible per season, I ski indoors at the UK snowdomes as much as possible.

Everywhere I ski, I am always asked about my magical gloves and I have attached a picture of me racing at Hemel Hempstead in July proudly sporting my Powermax gloves with their rechargeable LiPo batteries. Without them, my fingers are downright useless, which is not at all helpful! They will be going with me to Austria and France in the New Year for sure."

We are always looking to improve and set the highest possible standards so it's always great to meet people who are striving for excellence in their own field and this is certainly the case with a young local boxer that is striving for greatness in his own sport. Pictured below is Louis "2Sweet" Norman who is aspiring to be British Champion and who has his sights on even greater things. Pictures are of Louis wearing his new G6 heated vest as he has been converted to the benefits of heated clothing particularly when he starts his training at 5.30am each morning.

Louis has been boxing since he was 3 years old and has had 39 amateur fights. He's been in 8 midlands finals, won the midlands aba twice in 2010 and 2011 and has represented the midlands in 2011, winning the CYP national title in 2011. He's unbeaten in his last 8 amateur fights and this year turned professional winning his first 2 fights.

To give an idea of the dedication required to get to the top, Louis starts training by getting up each day at 5.30am to do a 4 mile run, before going to the Pro Gym at Sumercotes in Alfreton (derby) until 12 O'clock. He normally does a 2.2mile hill run on arrival before doing  15 x 3 minute rounds including pads, bags, and sparring. Louis spars with Light heavyweight commonwealth champion Ovill Mckenzie, former English champion Scott Haywood, Dale miles who is fighting for the British title soon and former world champion Rendall Munroe. At the end of the sessions Louis does core work and sit ups using medicine balls finishing at 6.30pm. The session is followed by another run and then the evening work begins at the local amateur boxing club at Shepshed in Leicestershire. The training is done 5 days a week and then on the Saturday Louis will do a 7.5 mile run at 8am in the morning followed by conditioning work at Shepshed aba.  Sunday is a day of rest! If Louis is preparing for a fight, it means 10 weeks of training camp.

We will be following and supporting Louis throughout his career and posting periodic updates to track his progress to see how hard work, sacrifice and dedication are rewarded. Please let us know of someone you know that is working hard to make their dreams happen as this is always of grat interest particularly in this year of great Olympic triumphs.

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.

We are hoping that 2012 will be a big year for blazewear as well as for talented up and coming UK band Everybody Looks Famous who are big fans of our heated clothing. The band have recently played at Wembley Arena and and at the Utrasound Festival and have a number of dates lined up for this year as well as a new single to be released this month.

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.
