Taking performance base layer to the next level
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (Jan. 14, 2019) – Hot Chillys, a leading base layer brand in the U.S. for over 3 decades, expands their fabric collections that are sure to please the winter sports enthusiast looking for ultra-comfort before or after their time on the mountain.
**Sweater Knit moves into its second season after being well received by both retailer and end consumer. The new collection has been expanded to 4 styles offering 4 patterns for fall 2019.
An alternative to expensive knit leggings and tops, Sweater Knit is extremely soft & cozy, a great “go to” for keeping warm and looking good. Hot Chillys Sweater Knit styles are made of a blend of viscose, polyester and nylon yarns (no wool) for softness and durability. Perfect for before and after the hill. Available in Leggings, Zip-Ts, Relaxed Fit Top, and Hoodie Jackets.
**Being toasty warm & cozy (and maybe even feeling groovy) is the “why” behind Hot Chillys new Double Velour collection. Designed with a deep velour anti-pill face and a brushed back to provide more loft and air space to trap and hold air for increased body heat. Made with 12% spandex, Double Velour’s 4-way stretch has the perfect fit and unlimited movement. Choose from several styles including Flare Pants, Leggings and Zip Hoodies in a variety of colors
**Micro-Elite Chamois will be offered for the first time in youth sizes. They will be available in a black top and bottom, as well as Hot Chillys Fiesta prints featuring more sophisticated print designs that both boys and girls will love.
This fabric has been the leader in body fit, technical base layer by incorporating intimately blended fibers with specific attributes to continually keep the wearer warm, comfortable and dry. Knit in a smooth face and napped back for easy layering, Micro-Elite Chamois features Moisture Transfer Fibers, 4-way stretch, antimicrobial properties and UPF 30 protection.
“Consumers are asking for more technical base layer for their kids. The glass ceiling has been broken and we are responding with our Micro-Elite Chamois now available in youth sizes. Why not give your kids the best?”, said Jerris Greenblat, director of design and marketing for Hot Chillys.
**Micro-Elite XT is our mountain weight base layer that can also be used as a mid-layer. Made with a durable outer face with a soft, brushed fleece back. Wind resistant, UPF 40 protection, moisture transfer fibers and 4-way stretch fabric make Micro-Elite XT the perfect choice for when it’s really cold outside! Featuring contrast seam, Hot Chillys® reflective logo, zip pocket with glove friendly rubber zipper pull and extended sleeves with thumbholes.
The new collections will be introduced to the outdoor industry at Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show in Denver, Colo., January 30 - Feb 1, 2019.
