Heat energy is generated from resistance once connected with a 5V2A power bank. The temperature will be around 40℃, with a feeling like wearing t-shirt under the sun at noontime. All details are considered, such as the provision of the comfy fabric USB cable with a user-friendly control and the mobile app to connect up to 6 products at the same time. All KnitWarm products are good for repeated use and are washable. It’s safe, reliable and sustainable.
