Gering's Releases New Core Heat Transfer System^TM Battery Operated Heated Gloves With Thermostat Control

Core Heat Transfer Systems^TM is cutting edge technology to keep warmer for anyone involved in cold weather recreation or work

Union, Washington, June 8th, 2007-If you’ve ever felt the numbing paralysis of cold fingers in winter, then you know the value of a warm pair of gloves. Gerbing’s, the leader in electrically heated outerwear, has engineered an innovative system for heated gloves. Whether biking, snowmobiling, riding an ATV, or enjoying outdoors recreation like hunting, fishing or golf, Gerbing’s new gloves keep hands warm allowing them a full range of physiological movement.

The heated gloves are part of the company’s new Core Heat Transfer System. Through a series of technological advances, the Core Heat Transfer System provides consistent heat transference to occur throughout the gloves.

The new system heats the entire length of each finger as well as the back of the hand. Each glove is powered by a 7.4v lithium battery pack that is housed in a zippered pocket on the cuff. The battery incorporates a 4-level push-button thermostat that allows you to regulate the temperature. On the highest setting the gloves will provide up to 135 of heat output for a minimum of three hours; the lowest setting provides 85 of heat output for up to 12 hours.

For most people, it is either the hands or the feet that suffer the most in cold weather,” said Jeff Gerbing, CEO of Gerbing’s. “Our goal with designing these gloves was to offer a lightweight, very pliable glove that would keep you warm but still allow you the dexterity of your fingers.”

Gerbing’s Core Heat series of heated products are designed to prevent the body’s physiological response of vasoconstriction that occurs when colder temperatures are detected and the nervous system restricts blood flow to the extremities. The Core Heat Transfer System allows you to maintain blood flow and a constant level of thermal comfort preventing vasoconstriction.

Core Heat gloves incorporate a unique patent pending microwire heating matrix. This system is the most efficient and durable technology ever developed. They are powered by small, microprocessor-managed lithium battery packs that are rechargeable for up to 500 cycles. This patent pending technology was originally developed for the US Military to help keep soldiers warm in the most extreme cold weather conditions.

“The gloves are engineered to provide incredible heat output surrounding your hands with warmth,” Gerbing explained. “They will not only keep you from getting cold but will also keep your hands toasty warm allowing them to function as they would on a warm summer day.”

Other features include an Aqua-Tex waterproof/breathable membrane to help keep you dry along with 150grams of Thinsulate to insulate the heating elements without extra bulk. The Core Heat battery operated gloves come in Mossy Oak camouflage and black nylon with smoke gray accents. Both include an adjustable wrist enclosure and a zip-cinch cuff. New versions will include the new Winter Fleece style and the Core Heat Sport. Pricing for a pair of Core Heat gloves begin at $149 (MSRP), and comes with a lifetime warranty on the electrically heating components in the gloves. Currently, snow and camouflage-hunting versions are available.

For over 30 years, Gerbing’s Heated Clothing has been manufacturing electrically heated clothing powered by a 12-volt DC power source. Predominantly, they have made products targeted to the motorcycle industry with heated jackets, liners, pants, gloves and socks. Riders simply plug in to their bike’s electrical system and enjoy soothing warmth from head to toe allowing them to stay warm, making for a safer and more comfortable ride.
