Hünenberg, Switzerland – 26 November, 2024 – Inspired by its enduring passion for pushing boundaries, Odlo has fully redesigned its I-Thermic X-Warm collection to deliver a new level of comfort in cold-weather conditions.
The Swiss-based performance apparel brand has proudly collaborated with Clim8® to launch a range of apparel that seamlessly integrates smart heating technology to provide intelligent thermoregulation right at the wearer’s fingertips.
Start Warm. Stay Warm.
Purposefully designed for athletes that love getting out there during winter, the I-Thermic X-Warm 2.0 collection includes a seamless base layer set and outdoor jacket that intelligently warm areas of the body most sensitive to cold. Powered by a battery and a Bluetooth module, the integrated Clim8® heating system uses responsive sensors woven into the fabric in key thermal zones to maintain the desired body temperature.
Customised to the wearer’s exact preferences via a smartphone or by manually double-tapping the conveniently positioned control module. The system adapts in real time to the set profile, temperature and activity level. It also intelligently integrates user feedback to improve the experience over time and features body detection to automatically activate when the garment is put on.
Previously only available as a base layer, this redesign builds on its predecessor with a more streamlined fit, longer battery life and enhanced app integration, as well as expansion into a jacket style. On the practicality front, the garments are completely washable (once the battery is removed).
“The I-Thermic X-Warm combines Odlo’s renowned craftsmanship with integrated smart heating technology to deliver customisable warmth wherever and whenever it’s needed the most,” said Dan Pattison, Product Manager, Odlo. “We’re thrilled to heighten the outdoor experience with this collaborative innovation.”
The pieces are ideal for a wide spectrum of start-and-stop winter experiences – from the ski lift to lunch on the patio to après-ski – or as the perfect layer for additional warmth during long periods in cold temps.
