Buy product: USWE Nordic 10

PRODUCT USP

Nordic 10 is a (real) winter backpack that’s using the body as the heat source, a thin permeable membrane and space suit technology. USWE® has with this solution solved both the insulation and the heat source to protect the hydration system from freezing. This technology is called Thermo Cell™. It has been successfully tested in -26 °C / -15 °F cold temperature, with a final result measured at +19 °C / +56 °F inside the Thermo Cell™ pocket where the hydration tube is stored.

PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES 

Thermo Cell™ is equipped with a multilayer insulation cover that reflects the heat on the inside and shields from the cold and wind from the outside. By its design, the Thermo Cell™ closes tightly to the body and a thin mesh membrane permits maximum body heat to pass through. Used in this way the body heat feeds the Thermo Cell™ with thermal energy. 

INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE 

For endurance running, skiing and cycling during winter season. 

SUSTAINABILITY INFORMATION 

Fabrics and products follow the REACH standards. USWE operate with the highest standards of quality to make the products last. They chose to heat the Thermo Cell with body heat instead of replaceable chemicals or batteries and electricity.

MOTIVATION FROM THE JURY

Combining knitted Merino fabric and Merino mesh has been around for a while but it has never been executed as well as in the apparel winner of this year. The strategic placement of the materials in this piece is thought through and works well, where the mesh is placed under the arms and only partly on the back. This makes the design of this t-shirt very appealing. Also, Aclima has always been among the pioneers of this material combination.
