Today, at Therm-ic, we are recognised as partners, not only in refrigeration, but also in achievements. For nearly 30 years, we have worked to aid skiers, mountaineers, sports enthusiasts, hikers and adventurers in their quest for pleasure or performance. In our opinion, the secret to a successful or enjoyable day in the mountains lies in good body temperature management. It is our position as leader in temperature control that drives us to innovate every day to invent the comfort solutions of tomorrow. 'Boost' technology is the fruit of this expertise, a revolution in the world of heated gloves, designed to ensure unrivalled heating speed and intensity, while remaining very light, reliable and easy to use.
'Boost' technology comes as part of a range of four heated gloves and heated mittens for men and women whose aim is to push back the limits of comfort at temperatures never possible before: -30°C!
To discover the 'Boost' technology and heated gloves that enabled Nims Dai, the star mountaineer, to climb K2 in winter - ""the last unresolved challenge in modern mountaineering""; or the heated mittens that will let you enjoy skiing despite your Raynaud's syndrome, you can find it here!
'BOOST' TECHNOLOGY: TAKING HEATED GLOVES & HAND COMFORT TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL
At Therm-ic, we are inspired by the great sportsmen and mountaineers we work with and equip. That's why progress and innovation are part of our DNA. 'Boost' technology is the fruit of this perpetual quest to reach the highest peaks, an improvement on what we already have, the 'Ultra Heat' technology.
(OPTION) When it's cold, the body automatically implements a thermoregulation mechanism whereby it reserves most of its energy for the most important organs, namely the brain, heart, lungs and, more generally, the entire human trunk. The extremities of the body, such as the feet and especially the hands, are then neglected and receive less blood supply, in order to benefit the vital organs. For us, whether in the performance of the mountaineer or the pleasure of the skier, this thermal comfort is vital. And that's why we've developed Boost technology, capable of taking warm hands to where they've never been before, to the ""Great Cold"", at -30°C.
It took an impressive number of hours - in the mountains testing prototypes, and in the lab perfecting them - for our R&D team and our athletes to achieve this innovative heating system in terms of its power, efficiency and practicality.
.
What makes the 'Boost' heating system a small revolution in the arena of heated gloves?
- A much faster 5.5-hour battery charge, compared to the previous 8 hours. Ideal for those short nights at altitude!
- A significantly increased heating power (x 1.5) to heat faster and more intensely. This is thanks to a new 7.5 W heating element, compared with the previous 5 W.
.
- Still 3 heating levels to adjust the intensity of the heat to best suit the external conditions and therefore prolong battery life.
- An optimised air flow circulation network inside the glove so that the entire hand receives 360° warmth.
- An ultralight battery that is very practical for sports where there is often a problem of weight, and the smallest gram saving can soon become a crucial issue.
- A new pocket designed to accommodate not one but two batteries, to multiply the heating time and extend the system's effectiveness over long periods.

HEATED GLOVES & MITTENS THAT FEATURE 'BOOST' TECHNOLOGY!
WHY DO YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED THESE HEATED GLOVES AND MITTENS? WHY ARE THEY UNIQUE AND REVOLUTIONARY?
The heated gloves and mittens of the 'Boost' range are 'must-haves' for the comfort of your hands thanks to their record heating intensity and ultra-long-life battery with unrivalled charging speed.
Who are they for? : The heated gloves and mittens with 'Boost' technology are aimed at adventurous alpinists, or simply adrenaline addicts in the high mountains; skiers tired of seeing days wasted due to cold hands; athletes with Raynaud's syndrome who have despaired of a long-lasting comfort solution.
What are the common features of these four pairs of heated gloves? :
- An ultra-high-performance heating system – unprecedented until now – which delivers heat faster, at higher intensity and for longer. Lasts for 10 hours if you push the gloves to their maximum potential.
- Longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries.
- The 3 heating levels for adjusting the heat intensity to best suit the cold conditions or exercise, and especially to avoid sweating.
- An optimised air flow circulation network inside the glove so that the entire hand as well as each finger has 360° warmth.
- Their ‘Primaloft Recycled’ insulation for optimal heat conservation.
- Their composition of mostly recycled materials.
- Their membrane, that is both waterproof and breathable because we know the damage moisture can do to hands exposed to the cold.
- Soft reinforcement strategically located under the thumb so you can wipe your ski mask, if needed.

THE BATTERIES
The new 'Boost' technology makes it possible to double the batteries in each glove with two optional kits, developed specifically for these 4 models of heated gloves: the GL3600 and the GL5200.
The 'ULTRA HEAT BOOST GL5200' HEAT BATTERY KIT
Ultra Heat Boost GL5200 Battery Kit
'ULTRA HEAT BOOST GL3600' HEAT BATTERY KIT'
Ultra Heat Boost GL3600 Battery Kit
These batteries are setting the standard with the power and endurance they offer.
- The 5200 mAh batteries offer 10h of heating at level 1, 5h at level 2, and 3h at maximum intensity, level 3.
- The 3600 mAh batteries provide 7:30 of heating at level 1, 3:30 at level 2, and 2h at maximum intensity, level 3.
We hope this article has given a 'Boost' to your incentive to say goodbye to the problem of cold hands!
