The Heat Company is an Austrian specialist for high-quality warming products, gloves and heating systems that has been developing innovative solutions since 1994 for people who are active outdoors even in the most extreme temperatures. The company was founded by Herwig Holzer in the mountains of Altenmarkt im Pongau and has developed from there into a leading supplier of cold protection products in Europe. The philosophy of The Heat Company is simple and effective: no one should have to give up outdoor activities, sports or work because of the cold.
The comprehensive range includes self-heating heat pads for hands, feet and body, innovative heated insoles with up to 8 hours of warmth, the revolutionary multi-layer glove system for different temperature ranges, and heated Heat 3 Smart gloves with electric heating. All products are designed for maximum performance with minimum size and weight – perfect for hunters, anglers, winter sports enthusiasts, mountaineers, photographers, outdoor workers and everyone who doesn't want to freeze in the cold.
The quality of the products speaks for itself: The Heat Company is the official supplier to Swiss-Ski (Swiss National Ski Team) and the Austrian Ski Team. If professional athletes trust these products in competitions, you can be sure they will work reliably even under the most extreme conditions. At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find the complete range of this proven Austrian brand – immediately available from Swiss stock.
Over 30 Years of Experience in Developing Warming Products
Since its founding in 1994, The Heat Company has continuously worked on improving its products. What began with simple hand warmers has developed into a comprehensive system of warming solutions that is now among the best in Europe. Decades of experience flow into every product: from selecting materials to developing heating elements to constructing gloves – everything is optimized for maximum warming performance and user-friendliness.
The company works closely with professional athletes, mountain guides, hunters and outdoor professionals to test and further develop products under real extreme conditions. This practice-oriented development guarantees that the products deliver exactly what they promise – even at minus 20 degrees or colder, in snow, wind and moisture.
Revolutionary Multi-Layer Glove System
One of The Heat Company's most innovative developments is the multi-layer glove system (layering system). This concept is based on the insight that there is no universal "one" glove for all temperatures and activities. Instead, the system combines different glove layers that can be flexibly combined depending on conditions and activity:
Inner gloves (Liners) – The first layer lies directly on the skin and provides basic insulation and moisture transport. The Heat Company offers various liners made from different materials: Merino Liner for natural thermal insulation and odor neutrality, Polartec Liner for high breathability and stretch comfort, Wind Pro Liner with windproof membrane for windy conditions, and Tactility Liner for maximum tactile sensitivity in delicate work.
Outer gloves (Shell) – The outer layer protects against wind, water and mechanical stress. These gloves are robustly constructed, often made of leather or reinforced softshell material, and can be combined with various inner gloves. Depending on temperature and activity, you choose the appropriate combination.
Heated gloves – For extreme cold conditions, The Heat Company offers the Heat 3 Smart gloves with integrated electric heating. These high-tech gloves feature powerful lithium batteries and heat the fingers and back of the hand specifically. The temperature can be regulated in several levels, and the heating duration is 3 to 8 hours depending on the setting. Perfect for longer stays in extreme cold.
This modular system allows you to cover a temperature range from plus 10 degrees to minus 30 degrees with just a few pairs of gloves. You invest intelligently in a flexible system instead of many individual gloves.
Self-Heating Heat Pads – Instant Warmth Without Electricity
The Heat Pads from The Heat Company are self-heating disposable warming elements that generate heat through a safe chemical reaction. As soon as the airtight packaging is opened, the iron powder in the pad reacts with atmospheric oxygen – this oxidation process reliably generates warmth over many hours. The temperature is consistently at a comfortable 45-57°C, depending on the product and environmental conditions.
Heat Hand Warmers – Compact warming pads for hands that provide constant warmth for 12 hours. Ideal for hunters on stands, anglers, photographers or simply for long winter walks. The hand warmers fit in jacket pockets, trouser pockets or can be placed in gloves. For even longer warming duration, there are Hand Warmers XL that provide warmth for up to 24 hours – perfect for multi-day outdoor adventures or emergency equipment.
Heat Toe Warmers – Warming pads specially developed for cold feet that warm for 8 hours. They are placed on the sole of the foot in the shoe (non-adhesive) or in the adhesive version stuck directly onto the sock. Toe warmers are particularly popular with hunters who wait motionless for hours on stands, ice fishermen, spectators at winter sports events or simply anyone prone to cold feet.
Heat Insole Warmers – These specially shaped warming pads are adapted to the foot shape and offer even warmth across the entire sole. Available in two sizes (S for shoe size 36-40, L for 41-46) and in both adhesive and non-adhesive versions. The adhesive version adheres reliably to the sock and doesn't slip, while the non-adhesive version can be positioned flexibly.
Heat Body Warmers – Larger warming pads for back, abdomen, shoulders or other body areas. These pads deliver 12 hours of warmth and are excellent for people with back pain, tension or simply for heat therapy in cold weather. Particularly popular with outdoor workers who must work outside all day.
Heat Back Warmers – Warming pads specially developed for the back area with Velcro fastening (warming belt) that provide constant warmth for 18 hours. The flexible belt holds the warming pad securely on the lower back and allows full freedom of movement. Ideal for back pain, tension or simply for comfortable warmth in cold weather.
Heat Multi Warmers – Versatile warming pads that can be used for different body areas. With 20 hours of warming duration, they are particularly long-lasting and can be used flexibly – on the body, in gloves, in shoes or wherever warmth is needed.
All Heat Pads are individually packaged, have a long shelf life (several years) and are easy to use: unpack, shake briefly, and within a few minutes the warmth develops. After use, the cooled pads can be disposed of with normal household waste – they contain no harmful chemicals.
Heated Insoles – Electric Foot Warmth for Maximum Comfort
The Heat 3 Heated Insoles are an innovative alternative to disposable toe warmers. These rechargeable heated insoles have integrated heating elements and are powered by powerful lithium batteries. The batteries are carried in a small pocket on the shaft of the shoe or boot and are connected to the insoles via a flexible cable.
The heated insoles offer multiple temperature levels that can be controlled via remote control or smartphone app. The heating duration varies between 4 and 12 hours depending on the setting. The insoles are waterproof, can be cut to fit different shoe sizes, and are washable. After the day, the batteries are simply charged via USB – ready for the next use.
Heated insoles are the perfect solution for everyone who regularly struggles with cold feet and is looking for a reusable, more environmentally friendly alternative to disposable warmers. The investment pays for itself after just a few winters compared to buying disposable warmers.
High-Quality Materials and Thoughtful Construction
The Heat Company uses exclusively high-quality materials developed for extreme conditions:
Polartec – These American high-performance fleece fabrics offer excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, high breathability and excellent moisture wicking. Polartec Power Stretch Pro combines warmth with stretch for perfect freedom of movement. Polartec Wind Pro is additionally windproof without compromising breathability.
Merino Wool – Natural wool from merino sheep is naturally thermoregulating, odor-inhibiting and non-itchy. Merino liners feel comfortable on the skin, wick moisture away and still warm even when damp – an important property for perspiration during activity.
Leather – High-quality goat or cowhide leather for outer layers offers excellent abrasion resistance, grip and natural weather protection. Leather adapts to the hand shape over time and gets better with each use.
Softshell Materials – Modern softshell fabrics combine wind protection, water repellency, breathability and stretch in one material. Ideal for active outdoor activities where freedom of movement is important.
All gloves are carefully manufactured, with reinforced seams at heavily stressed points, ergonomic cut for natural hand shape and thoughtful details such as touchscreen compatibility on index finger and thumb, pull-off aids, wrist cuffs for sealing and attachment loops.
Versatile Areas of Application
The Heat Company products are used in numerous areas:
Hunting – Hunters often spend hours motionless on stands in icy temperatures. Heat pads for hands and feet as well as warm gloves are indispensable here. Many hunting gloves also offer touchscreen compatibility for GPS devices and flip-top fingertips for precise aiming.
Fishing – When ice fishing or winter fishing, cold hands and feet are the biggest enemy. Heat pads and waterproof, insulated gloves enable hours of fishing even in sub-zero temperatures. The Tactility Liner offers enough fingertip sensitivity for bait work and knot tying.
Winter Sports – Skiers, snowboarders, cross-country skiers and ice skaters benefit from warmth without restriction of freedom of movement. The products are light enough for sports but offer sufficient warmth for lift rides and breaks. Swiss-Ski trusts this brand for good reason.
Mountaineering and High-Altitude Tours – On high mountain tours, warm hands are vital. The multi-layer system allows adaptation to changing conditions during the ascent. Wind Pro Liners protect against cold summit winds, while Merino Liners wick moisture during ascent.
Photography – Photographers know the problem: in cold weather, fingers quickly lose feeling and dexterity. Special photographer gloves with flip-top fingertips enable camera work with warm hands. Heat pads in jacket pockets warm hands between shots.
Outdoor Work – Construction workers, forestry workers, farmers, rescue services and everyone who must work outside need gloves that both warm and protect and offer grip. Durable Liner Pro with leather palms offer exactly this combination.
Everyday Life and Leisure – Even in everyday life – when walking the dog, waiting at the bus stop, shopping at the Christmas market or shoveling snow – The Heat Company products ensure warm hands and feet.
Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility
The Heat Company takes its responsibility for the environment and sustainability seriously. The multi-layer gloves are designed for longevity – high-quality materials and careful workmanship ensure the gloves last many seasons. Many liners are washable and retain their shape and function even after frequent washing.
The heated products (Smart gloves and heated insoles) are reusable and reduce waste in the long term compared to disposable warmers. The batteries are replaceable, so the products can still be used after years.
For Heat Pads, The Heat Company is continuously working on more environmentally friendly solutions. The materials used are non-toxic and can be disposed of with normal household waste. The company is also researching biodegradable packaging and more sustainable production methods.
