How do I get the best results from my ActiVHeat garment?
A. The closer the garment is to your skin, the more heat you will feel. Further, it is recommended you wear an outer layer of clothing to further trap the heat around your body. The ActiVHeat system will provide heat on the chest areas and upper back for up to 5 hours of continuous use. You will get the best from your ActiVHeat garment by switching the Controller as described below. Normally you would switch your ActiVHeat garment to HIGH (Red) approximately 5 minutes before going outside. Depending on the external temperature and how physically active you are, you should then be able to switch the garment down to a lower heat level or to OFF after approx. 15 – 20 minutes, as the heat generated from your muscles will be sufficient to keep you warm. If you become inactive, or the temperature drops or you feel cold, switch the garment on to HIGH immediately until you either start moving again or you reach a comfortable temperature, when you may be able to switch down the heat level.
