How does a Hotsuits® Heated Wetsuit work?
Basically, our heated wetsuits/rash vests use mini portable waterproof heaters strategically placed in pockets (situated across the lower back and under the arms) these heaters work by means of chemical reaction and are totally safe, affordable and completely reusable.
How do I recharge/re-use the heaters?
Place the heater/s in the protective pouch supplied. Boil in saucepan for 15 minutes until the contents is completely melted. Allow the pack/s to cool before “Re-Activation”.
How long do the heaters work for?
Our wetsuits/rash vests have been designed to accommodate up to four heaters. Its is up to you whether you choose maximum warmth by activating all four heaters simultaneously or save two for later in the session. Once activated each individual heater will last approximately 30-45 minutes in cold water conditions. Additional heaters can be kept on the beach on hand and can easily replace expired heaters for those who wish to extend their time in the water.
How does a Hotsuits® Heated Wetsuit differ from that of a conventional wetsuit?
Our specially designed rash vests and wetsuits heat the user (body) by means of using an external heat source which can provide a safe measurable constant heat as opposed to the convention wetsuit which main purpose is to trap water close to the user (body) and utilize heat provided by the body.
Are the heaters heavy or bulky?
Each heater only weighs 160 grams which means the total weight of four heaters is 640 grams which you can barely notice. They are only 12cm long x 8cm wide and 1.2 cm thick. They are actually recessed into the wetsuit which lowers the profile of them even more. |
