The accessory works by being attached onto a person's backside thanks to a Velcro waistband and doesn't require them to completely take off their pants for it to be worn. The wearable will go to work providing 100% waterproof protection for a person's backside from cold chairlifts or breaks taken sitting in the snow. The 'Ass Gasket' has been human-tested to ensure it's ready to deliver impressive protection and has been reported to keep the person's backside u pro 25-degrees warmer after a five-minute chairlift ride. The secure design with leg straps will work to ensure comfortable, slip-free wearing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable Seat Warmers:** A trend of creating more wearable seat warmers for winter sports enthusiasts. - **Waterproof Winter Accessories:** A trend of creating waterproof winter accessories for outdoor winter activities. - **Human-tested Winter Accessories:** A trend of human-tested winter accessories that ensure protection from extreme cold. ### Who This Affects Most - **Winter Sports Equipment:** The winter sports equipment industry can create better accessories and equipment for outdoor enthusiasts, such as wearable seat warmers and waterproof accessories. - **Outdoor Apparel:** The outdoor apparel industry can create innovative, human-tested accessories that provide protection against cold and other environmental factors. - **Innovative Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry has an opportunity to innovate and design wearable seat warmers that are comfortable, slip-free, and easy to use. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Heated Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosun-solar-seat.md) - [Functional Boot Gaiters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldweather-footwear.md) - [Wearable Crouching Support Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/achilles-heel.md) - [Chair-Shaped Blanket Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-chair-wrap.md) - [Pro-Grade Heated Ski Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-ski-jacket.md) - [One-Piece Adult Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puffer-chubbsie.md) - [Heated Outdoor Chair Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-chair-pad.md) - [Temperature-Adjusting Desk Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratum-workplace-thermal-comfort.md) - [Air-Powered Office Chair Cushions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbag-massage-cushion.md)
