MINSK, 26 January (BelTA) - A report on the Belarus 1 TV channel has shed light on the unique heated jackets produced in Bobruisk after a presidential tip, BelTA has learned.
A heated jacket is a real find for those who get very cold. Production of such jackets began in Bobruisk following a hint from the president. “During the opening of the First National Trading House, the president visited our store. He asked about the down jackets. The natural down didn’t impress him much, and he said we should learn from the Chinese. We immediately began executing this instruction,” Director of Slavyanka sewing factory Teimuraz Bochorishvili said.
To activate the heating function, all you need is any power bank used for charging gadgets. One press of a button, and the jacket heats up like a radiator. The creators emphasize that it is completely safe. The jacket can be tossed in the washing machine; the main thing is to close the port with its flap.
According to Darya Norova, deputy head of the factory’s experimental workshop, the jacket lining contains graphene, a material that retains heat. “There is a special instruction manual showing the number of heating elements in the model. There can be a model with five heating elements or one with three. It all depends on the design idea,” she said.
The factory is also developing another new product: jackets made with eco-down. This is an innovative synthetic filler that retains heat well, doesn’t clump, and will keep you warm even in -25°C weather. The enterprise notes that the sub-zero temperatures outside have only fueled demand for Bobruisk jackets. Up to 120 units are produced here per shift.
