Each Garment in the line is created uniquely for an individual out of sustainable materials and co-creative design methods to construct apparel that we value.

The Smarterwear Heated Jacket is a personal heating device with a lightweight lining. The lining itself uses an Arduino lilypad to detect the user's body temperature, heating when needed and automatically shutting down when the user is warm. This makes the Smarterwear Heated Jacket ideal for outdoor exercise in cold weather, individuals with poor circulation, when running errands in downtown Vancouver to eliminate the need for constantly removing your jacket when the environment's or user's body heat fluctuates.
