Mechanix Wear, a provider of high-performance hand protection, announced today an official partnership with clim8, a global innovator of intelligent thermal technologies for wearables. Through the new collaboration, Mechanix Wear becomes the exclusive workwear glove licensee of clim8 technologies in the U.S. for 2021, which will allow the company to launch the first work glove in the U.S. with an intelligent, self-regulating and activating heating system tailored to each unique individual’s optimum comfort levels.
The partnership between Mechanix Wear and clim8 will enable the companies to develop products that thermo-regulate the hands of anyone affected by cold weather. clim8’s intelligent technology allows users to control their heating comfort through the clim8 app, creating a unique thermal profile that automates the gloves to their ideal body temperature. The companies will release a limited-edition run of their first intelligent thermal gloves for industrial workers and brand loyalists just in time for winter. Following the limited run, Mechanix Wear and clim8 will announce the product’s full availability later this year.
clim8, the French based company, provides advanced heating technologies for optimal and personalized thermal comfort for wearables. Its science proofed technologies use smart devices and sensors that are seamlessly woven into garments to create unique intelligent thermo-regulating experiences for users—using advanced algorithms to automatically react and respond based on the user’s desired activity and comfort level.
