Ororo announced its first heated base layer collection, featuring heated lightweight tops and bottoms for men and women. Powered by Ororo’s Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-certified rechargeable batteries, the new collection is designed for everyday wear and versatility to keep customers toasty when it’s needed most, perfect for wearing on their own or when layering with additional outerwear pieces.
“Warmth starts with your first layer, and when prepping to be active outdoors in cold weather, feeling bulky with a limited range of motion is the last thing you want,” said Ororo design director Adrienne Klein. “Ororo’s heated base layer collection makes layering easy with fitted silhouettes that may even replace your favorite quarter-zip or leggings. The heating elements in these pieces provide an extra layer of warmth that allows you to layer less, providing additional freedom of movement and comfort for all-day wear. Three heating settings also allow you to warm yourself up as you need it or turn off the heating once you get moving and no longer need the additional heating. Whether you are going for a chilly morning run and choose to wear these pieces alone or are layering up for a day of hiking, skiing or snowboarding, the base layer collection was designed to move with you.”
The men’s and women’s quarter-zip heated base layer top features lightweight, soft brushed stretch fabric that feels smooth against the skin and ergonomic raglan sleeves that allow for a natural range of motion. The quarter-zip mockneck long-sleeve fits close to the body without adding bulk, making it an ideal base layer or can be worn on its own during cooler days. Two heating zones on the upper back and lower back deliver up to 17.5 hours of warmth.
Ororo’s heated base layer bottoms for men and women feature the same stretchy, lightweight fabric used in the quarter-zip top, with ergonomic paneling that follows the body’s natural shape and movement for a sleek fit. Flatlock seam construction reduces friction and chafing, making this an ideal layer to wear on its own or as a base layer with additional outerwear layers on top. A wide, high-rise waistband creates a secure and supportive fit that is comfortable throughout the day for extended wear. Three heating zones target the left and right knees and the lower back, providing up to 7.5 hours of heating, with a discreet battery pocket located on the lower left hip.
