UNIQLO LAB HEATTECH

Heat-generating clothing. HEATTECH. Lightweight high-tech fabric actually creates heat to warm you up and keep you warm.

Warms automatically. Stays warm. Surprising technology.

Staying warm through a cold winter is actually not all that difficult. Layer clothing to make a heavy outfit, or wear something made of a thick material. Since clothing was first created, people have gotten through the coldness of winter with either of these methods. How can you overcome the cold of winter without relying on thick clothing? That dilemma has been resolved with groundbreaking technology—HEATTECH from UNIQLO. Its fibers absorb moisture that the body emits, and the fabric itself generates heat. Just wearing it automatically warms you—a surprising innovation in technology wear. Moreover, the layer of air in between the fibers does not allow the warmth generated to escape, so that you can continue to feel warm as long as you are wearing it.

Thin, lightweight and comfortable— qualities resulting from tireless research WITH the human body.

HEATTECH is not merely warm clothing. HEATTECH stretches and shrinks to fit your body. That is something you will feel once you try it on—unparalleled comfort, uninhibited movement. The days when you had to wear layer upon layer of restrictive clothing to feel warm are over.
