AVADE, Heating Shirt, Perfect For Any Cold Weather Activity!

$199 AVADE AU
With a passion for dirt bikes, an obsession with comfort, and a love of adventure : Ride. Board. Walk. Fish, AVADE was started because of our own need for a LIGHTWEIGHT and fast acting, heated garment that could compliment an existing active apparel, not replace it.

We strove to build that perfect outfit, that feeling of unison between man and machine, tool or apparel, that feeling you get when everything works together and creates that harmonious flow.

Preparation and setup was paramount. We wanted  everything to fit and feel perfect, always thinking and researching new ideas.

Do we just buy something that was adequate, or do we build a garment that was perfect for our multitude of uses. Constantly altering and adjusting.

Originally it was the dirt bike and enduro riding that brought about the idea of a heated garment, keeping warm during those cool down times without overheating everywhere else. Then it soon took over our lives. It needed to work for our fishing trips and mountain biking weekends...golf, weekend sport spectating... the list went on. It had to be right for all, not just perfect for one.

AVADE has been designed to be incredibly lightweight, thoughtfully engineered and supply warmth quickly at the PUSH of a button.

Created for those start-up and cool down times, rest periods and transport sections. Using a minimalistic approach in an ultra light-weight garment,  synthetic fibres for strength and flexibility, naturally occurring vapour  release and Zero thermal benefits. Incorporating strategically placed carbon fibre heating zones, that balance heat, safety and battery life in a package that delivers maximum heat fast, on demand.

Pivotal Living, The Perfect Fitness Band!

What makes this perfect, $12, that right, by now most everyone has heard of Pivotal Living. They are the company that turned the wearable market on it ear. In a couple months last year they made such and impact that it completely changed everyone's marketing strategy. $12 for a band, brilliant, well its $12 a year for their services. Smart, considering most people stop wearing them after a couple months.
The interface and graphics are nice, there are some bugs but PL says they are working them out. To compensate all the early adopters they are giving users another year. So $12 for two years, again brilliant.
The best thing is the sleep alarm, it gently vibrates you awake. Hey if you only wear it to sleep, a $12 alarm is a steal.
