Warming vest keeps the chill out

Adjust your level of warmth with the turn of a dial

— February 07, 2012

Workers in cold, rugged environments will appreciate the warmth and comfort of the N-Ferno 6900 warming vest from Ergodyne. Its streamlined profile uses NobleTek insulation to keep the heat in, without the extra bulk.

The vest’s warming system uses flexible, airtight but breathable chambers filled with a 4.5-mm layer of argon gas. This layer has the same thermal conductivity as 14 mm of synthetic or natural fibres traditionally used in thermal wear. Most notable, however, is the user’s ability to adjust his or her level of warmth with the turn of a dial.

The machine-washable vest is 100 percent non-toxic, non-flammable and a great way to stay warm and productive on the job.
