To perch in a tree motionless or to stand waist deep in freezing water for several hours may not seem like a great way to spend a winters day to the majority of us, but that is precisely what has to be endured by thousands of Hunters, Fishermen and Outdoors-men throughout Europe and the Continental US on a regular basis. Hunting Jackets with a built in heating system seem like a "No-Brainer", but it required the invention of Gorix E-CT to make the simple idea become reality.

The Gorix Heating System employed in garments like Hunting Jackets and Outdoor Pursuits clothes draws on the advances made in the work carried out in both commercial and military applications of the Gorix Technology. The added bonus for the Hunting Fraternity is that as the Gorix Heating System is textile based there is no compromise on the "Silence Factor" of the clothing. Gorix E-CT is extremely flexible and quiet it will not rustle within the garment, a factor of major importance when considering ways to keep warm.

Survival Clothing can benefit from the inclusion of Gorix E-CT into its design. In this particular area, battery technology probably plays its most important role. If the decision is to be whether to carry 5 ounces of battery or 5 ounces of chocolate in a survival situation, give me the chocolate every time, that's because I know that when the chips are down the best heat comes from within; but lets say that the foods all gone and there is a blizzard blowing outside the bivouac and you know that your only hope of surviving is to stay warm and conscious till morning when help may be able to get through to you, then that is the time when a heater system powered by a high efficiency non rechargeable power pack comes into its own.

High output batteries do exist, they are not cheap and you can't buy them at the corner drug store, but it's life or death, it's an expensive battery, but it was light enough to carry and it could just with the grace of god save your life, that is when it is all worthwhile. What we are promoting here is not a system that is to be used at every tuck and turn, not a fashion "have to have", but a system that could just bring you back out of the hills alive and kicking - not in a body bag; a system that if all goes well will never have to be used, but you could have just that bit extra peace of mind knowing that your garment has Gorix inside it for that "final fall-back position" when all else has failed.
