How it Works - EXO² Heated Clothing - No internal wires !


The EXO² StormRider heated vest has an innovative and unique climate control system that has been developed to satisfy the needs of professional motorcyclists. The StormRider is designed to provide you with warmth where and when you need it, whatever the weather.

The technology centres around a core unique polymer based element that heats up when low voltage is passed through it and is powered by either rechargeable batteries, a mains power adaptor or from the accessory socket of a car or motorcycle. By regulating the voltage applied the heating element can be made to heat up to a pre-defined level to create a uniform area of heat with no hot spots. Uniform distribution and dissipation of heat allows the heating element to be located in close proximity of the area to be heated, thus maximising heating and minimising heating response time.

Loading the polymer, at the heart of the heating component, with conductive particles enhances its conductivity properties and results in the element exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) when heated.

PTC is a characteristic many materials exhibit whereby resistance increases with temperature in a non-linear fashion. Once the material reaches the desired temperature, it self regulates. An optional universal controller allows the user to select temperature settings.
How do the heating components work?
When the heating element is at room ambient temperature, numerous conductive "chains" exist within the material. When low voltage is applied, current flows through the device, causing a rise in heat. Once the heat rises, it creates a small expansion, causing the conductive particles to move apart from each other. The resistance of the device increases, the material conducts less current and temperature is regulated.
 
Key Features
Virtually indestructible. The rubber like structure of the heating element makes it flexible enough to be configured into almost any shape. Thus, making it easy to incorporate into most garments and systems.

Unlike wire based systems, the heating component continues to operate even if slit or torn without the possibility of a short circuit.

Operating from a low voltage means that heating systems for light users can be powered by rechargeable batteries. The weight of these battery packs (no heavier than a modern mobile phone) makes the heating system ideal for portable use.
• Intrinsically safe - due to the positive temperature coefficient properties of the polymer.
• Inert. The polymer is resistant to most chemicals making it ideal in extreme environments.
• High energy efficiency - over 98% conversion of electrical energy into heat.
• Competitively priced.
Smart Micro-Climate Management System:
A warm welcome to EXO² flexible, robust and safe heat generating technologies:
Heated Clothing and Heated Motorcycle Clothing:
Welcome to 'FabRoc®'. This polymer based material is lightweight, waterproof, windproof, crushproof and stretchable. It is intrinsically safe through being chemically inert and is fully CE compliant. It serves also as an excellent format for latent heat transfer in Polymers.
Heat: The vest self-regulates to a temperature of 55°C. The optional controller allows you to precisely control the temperature of your own micro-environment, improving comfort, freedom and safety.

Battery Pack Option:
The StormRider vest, with lightweight battery pack option, gives you ultimate flexibility, for up to 3 hours of warmth in the lower back area.

Wireless Hi-Performance Materials:
The heat panels are made of specially treated Fabroc ® conductive polymer. The outer garment layer is made of AirXtream, which is stretchable windproof, waterproof and breathable, ideal for a comfortable fit.


Developed by Keela, AirXtream is a revolutionary fabric that forms the outer layer of the StormRider Bodywarmer and StormWalker jacket vest with a specially developed 3-layer material concept. The outer consists of a pique weave with a durable water resistant treatment laminated onto a waterproof hydrophilic membrane.

This in turn is laminated to the inner liner, which has rapid moisture wicking properties, and has a high percentage of stretch for added comfort while still retaining its durability.
Its weatherproofing means it can be used longer on its own when the weather turns bad and acts as the perfect mid layer in colder conditions, reducing bulk while still helping to retain insulation.
