My Quest to Survive Quarantine—in Heated Clothes
Heated clothes is exactly what it sounds like: battery or electricity-powered garments with warming elements woven throughout. Heated clothes looks like routine clothes, conserve for their power buttons, which glow red when on full-blast. “Heated clothes as we know it was invented in the mid-’70s in Washington by a fellow by the name of Gordon Gerbing,” states Justin Silverman, the co-founder of the Warming Store. “Pretty much every motorcyclist has actually heard of heated equipment,” states Andria Yu, a motorcycle coach and the communications director for the Motorcycle Industry Council. Rather, they run another heated clothing brand called Gordon’s Family Clothing and have actually made a point to emphasize that Gerbing is no longer a family service.
