Aevex® Intelligent Heat™ Receives “Popular Science” Top Tech Award for
Best of What’s New 2008: Recreation

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA – Dec. 1, 2008 – Aevex® Intelligent Heat™, the world’s most advanced apparel heating technology created by Energy Integration Technologies (EIT), was recognized by “Popular Science” in its annual Top Tech Awards issue as the Best of What’s New 2008 in Recreation.  Aevex integrates all necessary technology into a single panel that is sewn into apparel like an extra layer of fabric.  These panels are light, ultra-thin, and flexible, so they virtually disappear inside your apparel.  With “Intelligent Heat”, Aevex® thinks for you, automatically providing just the right amount of heat where you need it, when you need it.  When a part of your body gets cold, the Aevex® panel automatically increases the production of heat at that specific area. As your cold spot warms to a comfortable temperature, Aevex® rapidly redirects power to other cooler parts of your body. This localized micro-regulation minimizes energy use so that a comfortable, toasty temperature can be maintained for a very long time.

“Relying on conventional fabrics and insulation to keep you warm can be tricky and often impossible,” said AJ Fischer, co-founder of Energy Integration Technologies. “We challenged ourselves to find a better solution and created Aevex® to optimize both heat and comfort. It’s truly an honor to receive this recognition from ‘Popular Science,’ and we’re excited to see our vision for the future of heated apparel become a reality.”

Aevex® is currently available in Mountain Hardwear’s Red Savina gloves and Outdoor Research’s PrimoVolta and PrimaVolta gloves. For more information on Aevex®, visit www.aevex.com.
