Material of Smart Shell
Elastic Microfiber
Elastic microfiber with water-resistant and breathable membrane ensures the highest level of dryness.
Goat Leather (Palm Side)
Heat company opted for high-quality goatskin, since it is one of the most robust types of leather, yet is very soft and is most comfortable to wear.
Leather as a natural product is unbeatable! No modern high-tech material offers comparable durability and warmth while offering technical advantages over alternative materials. One gram of leather has about 300m2 of inner surface. The microscopically fine fibers are intensely interconnected. It has a high tensile and flexible strength, is aging and temperature resistant with proper care, and can hold up to 30% water without being wet. Leather can also absorb moisture from the inside and release it to the outside making it is highly breathable. No artificial leather or substitute can achieve these benefits even closely. Leather is ideal for gloves, as it offers clear advantages and unprecedented comfort.
Heat Company HEAT3 Gloves are certified and checked for contaminants and toxins and comply with the REACH agreement, which is the European Union Chemicals Regulation.
PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation
The Heat Company uses only PrimaLoft® Gold insulation, which is the best of the best! It’s as warm as down, warm without bulk, highly breathable, lightweight, provides superior softness and moisture management, is highly water-resistant, fast drying, and maintains 95% heat retention even in wet condition.
Caring for Leather
Keep the leather looking great by using beeswax and jojoba oil specially designed to maintain the high quality of your HEAT3 leather gloves. Taking care of the leather nourishes the gloves, keeping them soft and supple while refreshing its natural color. Existing and/or minor scratches you may get on the leather will become significantly reduced.
