HEAT Layer System

Modular 3-layer gloves

The Heat Company is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of warming products and gloves for outdoor use. Since its founding in 1994 in Altenmarkt im Pongau, Austria, the company has been developing hand warmers, foot warmers, insole warmers, body warmers and modular glove systems that perform reliably under extreme conditions. Originally developed for German and Austrian special forces, the products are now sought after by photographers, hunters, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find a wide selection of warmers and gloves from The Heat Company.

Warmers – up to 24 hours of reliable heat

The warming range from The Heat Company includes hand warmers with up to 12 or even 24 hours of heat duration, foot warmers for up to 8 hours, self-adhesive insole warmers, body warmers with 12 hours of output, back warmers with 18 hours and multi warmers with up to 20 hours of heat release. All warmers are based on an exothermic reaction using 100 % natural ingredients: iron powder, activated carbon, salt, water and vermiculite. Simply open the packaging, expose to air – and the warmth starts reliably. For emergencies, The Heat Company also offers an emergency kit with rescue blanket.

Technology · Born in the Alps
100 % natural ingredients – activated by air

The Heat Company’s warming technology relies on a purely natural, air-activated exothermic reaction. Iron powder reacts with oxygen upon exposure to air under controlled conditions – supported by activated carbon, salt, water and vermiculite. The result: even, long-lasting warmth without electricity, without batteries, without chemical additives. Originally developed for military use in extreme cold, this technology now proves its worth on mountain tours, during hunting, skiing and outdoor photography.

Gloves – the HEAT Layer System

The HEAT Layer System is a modular 3-layer glove concept that adapts flexibly to any temperature and activity. The first layer (Liner) forms the base: Merino Liner for natural warmth, Polartec Liner for maximum insulation, Wind Pro Liner for wind protection, Tactility Liner for fine dexterity or Durable Liner Pro for rugged use. The Shell layer goes on top as weather-resistant protection. The Polar Hood completes the system for extreme cold. All liners feature touchscreen-compatible fingertips. The flagship HEAT 3 Smart is a flip-top mitten that converts from mitten to finger glove in seconds.

From the military to the mountains – the story of The Heat Company

Founder Herwig Holzer started in 1994 with the idea of developing reliable warming products for special forces. What began as a niche product for the military soon conquered the outdoor world. Today, The Heat Company exports to over 40 countries – with an export rate of 85 %. The headquarters in the Salzburg region, surrounded by the Austrian Alps, shapes the product philosophy: everything The Heat Company develops must perform under alpine extreme conditions. The products enjoy an outstanding reputation particularly among nature photographers, as hand warmers and flip-top mittens enable precise work in cold temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions – The Heat Company

How do The Heat Company warmers work?
The warmers are based on an air-activated exothermic reaction. As soon as the packaging is opened, the iron powder inside reacts with the oxygen in the air – supported by activated carbon, salt, water and vermiculite.
