Carbon 'Nano-Core' heating elements
COLIANT Corporation has launched a new line of heated gear available through Drag Specialties. The company says that its Atomic Skin line has been "engineered to extend the riding season while providing comfort and safety."
Atomic Skin incorporates new design concepts utilizing carbon ‘Nano-Core’ heating elements. These are said to be flexible and conduct warmth to the body by using far infrared (FIR) wave length technology. It is claimed to provide a more comfortable, even flow of heat compared to other heating technologies "resulting in a more comfortable and enjoyable experience."
To operate the heat option, Atomic Skin uses a water and dust proof, wireless remote, line-of-sight controller. Riders who purchase a full set of gear (jacket, gloves, pants and socks) have the option of controlling warmth to the upper part, the lower part or both zones of the body. Coliant believes that Atomic Skin is the only heated gear on the market today that can control up to four items of clothing at a time. There is a downloadable Android phone application to control the temperature of the gear and provides real-time diagnostics. An application for the iPhone is planned for the Fall of 2015.
The Atomic Skin jacket outer shell is constructed using a durable, weather resistant polyester blend fabric complete with Pro-form stretch panels for a comfortable fit. The remote control supplied with the outer shell features a rechargeable battery and all cabling is included, permitting an on-the-fly Powerlet charging system.
