I had the chance to be fitted with a Heat Belt and within minutes felt the gentle, comforting warm that the small unobtrusive battery provided. I was amazed at the radiating warmth that the belt enabled throughout my body. And with a full battery on the low setting (and that was all I needed) it will cost me 16p per day. That’s going to make a big dent in my heating bills since I’ll be turning it down a notch or two.

I have a very challenging condition called Reynauds … it means painful, very cold extremities that are prone to ulcers which can lead to amputation in severe cases. This product is a revolutionary advance for the care of people with this condition, Systemic Sclerosis (which I also have), Fibromyalgia, MS and the frail and elderly, many more; Hill Walkers, Sailors, RNLI volunteers … the list is endless.
