The Carhartt X-1 Smart Heated Vest is an artificially intelligent heated vest and a representation of workwear of the future. The design was made possible in partnership with clim8 and it was conceptualized to "outwork fluctuating body temps and built to personalize heat and comfort both on and off the job."
With the ability to monitor and respond to the wearer's body temperature in real-time, the workwear vest helps to provide the utmost comfort in cold weather conditions in an efficient way. The durable vest eliminates the need to wear layers upon layers of clothes on the job, all the while preventing people from the discomfort of overheating.
This cutting-edge workwear design boasts three strategically mapped heat zones across vital sections of the torso, and an automatic on/off feature that knows when the garment is put on or taken off.
