It’s already well into fall and the winter season is coming soon. Thankfully, there are ways to cope with the cold. One that’s been popular with many Beijingers for the winter season is HEATTECH from Japanese clothing store Uniqlo. We’ll discuss more about what they are and how you can get them.

HEATTECH is Uniqlo’s lightweight heat-tech fabric that keeps you warm by creating heat. The fabric is special, which absorbs body moisture, where the movement of tiny droplets help generate warmth to keep you warm. The fabric has air pockets between the fibers that help retain body warmth. The benefits to wearing HEATTECH is that it’s lightweight, thin, moisture wicking, quick drying, minimizes odor, comfortable, anti-static, and is fashionable. It started with just thermals, or long johns, that you wear underneath your clothes, but today it has expanded to sweaters, fleece shirts, and other accessories like scarves, hats, and gloves.

If you’re looking for Uniqlo’s flattering, practical, and efficient HEATTECH products, visit one of the many Uniqlo stores in Beijing. There are stores at almost every large shopping mall. Look for some of the flagships at Taikoo LiSanlitunandXidan’sJoy City. Prices range from 79-149 RMB, and there are often sales that will knock off 20 RMB a piece during the season.
