Japanese winters are cold, and can be especially harsh for foreigners experiencing them for the first time. However, with UNIQLO’s HEATTECH, you can rest assured that you’ll stay warm even in the coldest weather! In this article, we’ll introduce the charms of HEATTECH, how to choose the right one for you, and recommend some ideal situations for wearing it.



What is HEATTECH?

HEATTECH is a high-performance innerwear developed independently by UNIQLO. It’s thin and light, yet warm, making it an indispensable item for combating the winter cold. It’s loved not only in Japan but around the world.

The Secret to HEATTECH’s Warmth

The secret to HEATTECH’s warmth lies in its fabric. Special fibers absorb perspiration and generate heat, which is then trapped to maintain warmth. It also has anti-static and moisturizing properties, making it useful for combating the dryness of winter.

Types of HEATTECH

HEATTECH comes in three varieties: regular HEATTECH, WARM, and EXTRA WARM.

  • HEATTECH: Thin and ideal for everyday use.
  • WARM: Approximately 1.5 times warmer than regular HEATTECH.
  • EXTRA WARM: Even warmer than WARM, perfect for combating the coldest winter weather.

How to Choose HEATTECH

  • Choose according to the temperature: Select the appropriate warmth level of HEATTECH based on the temperature and situation.
  • Choose based on material: Select the material based on your preference, such as texture and functionality.
  • Choose based on size: Since it’s worn as an inner layer, choose a size that fits snugly against your body.

Recommended Situations for Wearing HEATTECH

  • Going out on cold days: Wearing it under your coat will keep you warm.
  • Traveling: HEATTECH is a reliable companion when you want to pack light.
  • Sports: It quickly dries even if you sweat, protecting your body from getting cold.
  • Office: Since it’s thin, it won’t make you look bulky even if you wear it under a suit.

Conclusion

HEATTECH is an essential item for comfortably surviving Japanese winters. Find the perfect HEATTECH for you and stay warm throughout the winter!
