Wearer and environment
Define outdoor, work, lifestyle or specialist use; expected weather; layering; movement; and the duration of heat required.
Heated apparel manufacturing
Custom heated jackets, vests and workwear: OEM/ODM manufacturing.
THERMOVEX supports brands developing heated jackets, heated vests and heated workwear with carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene heating materials, area heating, controls and garment integration.

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
Use these six inputs to define a custom heated clothing project and select a prototype configuration.
Heating-zone strategy
Specify chest, back, waist and pocket heating zones. Each selected panel provides area heating; panel size, placement and output are matched to garment construction and available power.
Battery and controls
Specify supply voltage, battery capacity, connectors and temperature settings. Confirm heating speed and runtime on the selected garment, battery and setting under defined ambient conditions.
Garment construction
Coordinate shell, lining, insulation, seams, heater attachment, lead routing, removable parts and care instructions.
Brand customisation
Configure fabric, colour, trims, labels, packaging, controller appearance and instructions for the intended retail channel.
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 heated garment concept to approved production sample
Every stage resolves a different technical and commercial risk before the product moves toward volume manufacturing.
- 01
Product brief
Align the user, channel, target market, reference design, price position and commercial volume.
- 02
Thermal architecture
Define heating zones, module construction, temperature control, battery interface and garment stack.
- 03
Prototype and fit
Review pattern integration, comfort, heat distribution, controller usability and care construction.
- 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?
Washable heated garment designs can support repeated washing, including machine washing where validated for the selected configuration. Disconnect and remove the battery before washing. The approved care label defines the wash cycle, treatment of other removable electronics and drying method; reconnect power only when fully dry.
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.
