Heating Technology for Clothing

[exclusives88]

I've been researching alibaba, dhgate and called a couple of manufacturers to find heating technology for clothing. I am trying to implement a product that will need this technology.

So far, I've found this company: http://www.exo2theheatinside.com/markets/custom-application.html . However, the battery pack might be too bulky. I need the product to be as thin/light as possible as it will not be applied to a heavy jacket.

I'm also open for different fabric technology that will store your body heat. Something very similar to Columbia Omni - Heat Reflective material. http://www.columbia.com/technology-omniheatreflective/

Does anyone know of any other materials of manufacturers? I will make a progress thread soon after I can find a company that can supply this technology.

If you could transform a sodium-acetate heat pack into an easy-to-use and custom fit into your clothing application you could potentially have a heat source without needing electricity and bulky batteries.

You boil the pack to recharge it. Maybe you could devise a way to heat it up with electrical current instead of boiling, then throw it into the clothing. Flex the disc to reactivate when it is time, to start the reaction and get the heat.

Keep in mind that you're making an impression on two distinct industries: technology and fashion.
Techies will be like, "is this applicable?" Fashionistas will be asking "will I wear this?"

@Ninjakid There are no fashionable clothing that has heat technology. Maybe there is a reason but I'm willing to test the product with a prototype.
