we get the opportunity to listen to a
0:06
lot of feedback from our end users it's
0:08
always out doing product research and
0:10
one thing that we found from our users
0:11
on the heated jackets is that they're
0:13
spending about $200 retail to buy that
0:15
thing now it is a very tough design and
0:17
it can with stand a lot of job site wear
0:18
and tear but when a guy spends 200 bucks
0:20
on a jacket he wants to keep it clean
0:22
and he wants to take care of it he
0:24
thinks of it as an investment and so
0:26
what we strive to do with these hoodies
0:27
we find a way that we could provide our
0:29
users
0:30
that that uh carbon fiber heating
0:32
element that heat technology but give
0:34
them something that's a little bit more
0:35
job site friendly every one of these
0:38
goodies is washer and dryer safe that
0:40
you just be take it out get it as dirty
0:43
as you want come home and wash it with
0:45
your regular laundry and it'll be ready
0:47
to go the next day and you can dry it
0:49
too absolutely
0:50
yep
0:53
uh as we look at this hoodie now the red
0:55
hoodie here is available in red gray
0:58
Yaki the features are going to be freey
1:00
similar again you've got the easy tou
1:02
heat controller on the outside that's
1:04
you control heat to your fore and back
1:06
[Music]
1:08
area when you get inside of here almost
1:11
just a little bit of a different uh
1:12
interior than the jacket this is a
1:14
polyester waffle weave interior lining
1:17
what that allows us to do is hold a lot
1:19
of heat in and still provide a Prett
1:21
thin
1:22
layer for these hoodies they're good in
1:24
two ways in Spring and fall they're
1:27
great as a single layer you can wear it
1:29
in the morning have the heat on once it
1:31
starts to get a little bit warmer during
1:32
the day you can either turn the heat off
1:34
or take it off entirely and you have
1:35
free motion from winter time this serves
1:38
great as a solitary under layer so what
1:40
our users are going to be able to do now
1:42
instead of having to wear four or five
1:44
layers of sweatshirts and underliners
1:46
they can just put this on underneath a a
1:48
dural or like a water weatherproof
1:50
winter jacket keep this under to hold
1:52
all that active heat
1:54
it the battery of
1:57
the is located in the back pocket on the
1:59
interior so if you did want to wear this
2:01
sweatshirt just as itself uh if it's a
2:03
little bit warmer outside won't even
2:05
notice that the battery is there or the
2:07
battery operated
2:08
hoodie we move on to the high visibility
2:11
hoodie this is a little bit different
2:13
now this hoodie these are made out of a
2:14
durable cotton blend this is actually
2:16
entirely polyester what that means is
2:18
it's actually water repellent so you
2:20
whether this is a top layer during any
2:22
sort of weather it's going to keep that
2:23
water
2:24
out you what a with black Ro the area so
2:28
a lot of times when you're on the job a
2:29
lot of things that need to be carried
2:31
around you get grease dirt all sorts of
2:32
stuff on your hands need someplace to
2:34
wipe it and what you can do here is just
2:37
wipe it off on already and just dust
2:38
yourself off so a lot of um you know
2:41
Airlines ramp workers places where they
2:44
demand that their workers keep a
2:46
professional look they don't want to see
2:47
a lot of dir r on the lime green in the
2:49
high B and so this is an opportunity for
2:51
guys to wear this and have it be
2:53
rewearable and something they can take
2:55
along with them from job to job again
2:57
this lo as well
3:00
this be an anti Class 2 certified that's
3:03
good for any job site and even most
3:05
roadside
3:09
construction feature one conect from the
3:11
pocket going to hold any electronic want
3:13
top communication devices that you need
3:16
and finally on every Hood the hood is
3:18
actually designed to go over a hard hat
3:20

3:24
wind out
3:28
is
