Before you consider that the Warmor by BERING is quite a lot of money for a softshell underlayer: the WARMOR is a heated undercoat that will effortlessly pilot you through the coldest time of year. And a little beyond that.
So there are two parts in this description: let’s postpone the technical side for a while because we can be brief when it comes to the cut and thread. Like the Warmor itself: short. With the intention to fit rather snugly around the body, in order for the generated heat to have full effect. The Warmor is softshell, lined and optimised for a healthy climate control. Pleasant, light, soft yet still plenty of ‘jacket’ to be taken seriously on the coatrack. With a central zipper and two slash pockets, you can wear the Warmor without a problem all day long.
The Warmor comes with a battery and 4 heating settings because both the chest and the lower back hide the B-Warm system effectively creating heat through electrical conduction. You don’t see it and you don’t feel it, until you push the 7.4V battery. This is small and does not bother you in any way. If you go for the highest setting – 100% - then you get about two hours to completely melt away. It doesn’t have to be much longer because at 100%, the B-Warm system generates quite a lot of energy. Especially the conduction at the chest area delivers a noticeable higher body temperature. There are two more steps between the extremes so the options are plenty, depending on circumstances and your personal preference.
If the battery is completely drained at last, then you can charge it with the USB-cable (or the supplied adapter) in three hours’ time.
It’s a practical success. An additional compartment in the left pocket contains the cable connection for the battery. Operating the temperature setting is with a pushbutton on the left chest side. Every setting (25 – 50 – 75 – 100%) coincides with a colour that (subtly) indicated which temperatures to expect.
We wore the Warmor by BERING indoors for a while and the effect was quite impressive. We suspect that polar bears need to devour quite a number of seals to generate the same temperatures.
