Heated apparel manufacturing

A heated apparel manufacturer built around the complete thermal system.

THERMOVEX supports brands with custom heated clothing and wearable heating systems—from heater placement and power architecture to garment integration, validation and production transfer.

Engineering context

OEM heated clothing starts with the wearer, not the component list

A successful heated garment balances warmth, freedom of movement, runtime, hand feel, washing, controls and brand presentation. Choosing a heater without defining those interactions creates avoidable risk later in development.

THERMOVEX connects textile-compatible heating materials, custom modules, sensing, controllers and garment construction in one OEM/ODM workflow. Brands can begin with a concept, an existing reference product or a defined technical brief.

Buyer specification guide

Six decisions that shape the right solution

These are the inputs our engineers use to turn a search term or product idea into a testable, production-ready brief.

01

Wearer and environment

Define outdoor, work, lifestyle or specialist use; expected weather; layering; movement; and the duration of heat required.

02

Heating-zone strategy

Select body areas and zone sizes according to perceived comfort, garment construction, insulation and available power.

03

Battery and controls

Align voltage, capacity, connector, temperature levels, controller placement and protection logic with the product experience.

04

Garment construction

Coordinate shell, lining, insulation, seams, heater attachment, lead routing, removable parts and care instructions.

05

Brand customisation

Configure fabric, colour, trims, labels, packaging, controller appearance and instructions for the intended retail channel.

06

Market evidence

Plan finished-product checks and documentation around the sales region, claims, battery route and final bill of materials.

Application fit

Where this engineering path is used

The use case determines the practical voltage, heater geometry, control strategy, construction and evidence plan.

Heated jackets and vests

Multi-zone warmth for outdoor, commuting, lifestyle and technical collections.

Industrial heated workwear

Garments designed around cold, wet or exposed working conditions and the existing PPE system.

Gloves and compact wearables

Small-area heating where routing, dexterity, current and local temperature control are tightly constrained.

Base layers and soft goods

Low-profile heating integrated with stretch, drape, body contact and defined care requirements.

Development route

From search intent to production specification

Every stage resolves a different technical and commercial risk before the product moves toward volume manufacturing.

  1. 01

    Product brief

    Align the user, channel, target market, reference design, price position and commercial volume.

  2. 02

    Thermal architecture

    Define heating zones, module construction, temperature control, battery interface and garment stack.

  3. 03

    Prototype and fit

    Review pattern integration, comfort, heat distribution, controller usability and care construction.

  4. 04

    Validation and production

    Freeze the approved configuration, quality plan, packaging and documentation before manufacturing transfer.

Buyer questions

Practical answers before you send an RFQ

Final specifications, claims and commercial terms are confirmed for the approved product configuration.

What can be customised in an OEM heated garment?

The scope can include garment type, fabrics, insulation, heater geometry, number of zones, voltage, controls, battery interface, trims, colours, labels, packaging and instructions.

Can THERMOVEX manufacture private-label heated apparel?

Private-label and custom OEM/ODM programs can be developed. Final scope, commercial terms and documentation depend on the product design, target market and approved bill of materials.

How is washability handled?

The intended care method is defined early, removable electronics and vulnerable transitions are designed accordingly, and the finished configuration is validated rather than relying on a material-only claim.

What information is needed for a quote?

A useful first brief includes product category, target market, heating zones, temperature or comfort target, preferred power source, materials, estimated annual volume and launch timing.
