Because you deserve something better to keep you warm in cold temperatures

Regular winter jackets do not keep you warm. Luxury jackets are too expensive and do not keep you warm for long either. Existing heated jackets do not really work.

We brought you a fashionable Heated Vest which is for inner and outer use to ensure maximum thermal protection and performance with minimum weight addition. It keeps you warm and comfortable in cold environments while doing any kind of outdoor professional or leisure activities.

The Story behind that exciting heated vest:

Being from the Dominican Republic, I am used to living in a tropical paradise. So you can imagine how shocking it was to experience my first winter in Germany! Needless to say, no matter how much money I invested in staying warm, I just could not get used to the frigid temperatures. Layering my clothing just made me look like a big puffy penguin. Believe me when I tell you this was not the sexiest or most masculine image! Plus, my pocketbook was becoming lighter and lighter as I tried without success to stay warm. Although that first winter was tough, I actually enjoyed watching the snow fall to the ground for the first time. There was something very beautiful about seeing ice-covered trees. I realized if I was going to call Germany home, I would have to find a solution to my winter dilemma.

For two years I put my nose to the grindstone working on various mock-ups of my ideal winter vest. I knew it had to be lightweight, fashionable, and warm. I had to avoid anything that seemed bulky or unattractive. After much trial and error, and with the strong support of a wonderful team, the Heated Vest was born. Weighing in at just under seven ounces, this vest can withstand temperatures as low as minus forty degrees Fahrenheit. Because of its sleek design, the heated vest can be worn under your current winter gear. How does it keep you warm? The secret is the battery-operated heating system that is temperature controlled for your comfort. The battery runs a full eighteen hours and is removable for washing. Rather than adding bulk to the vest, the battery weighs less than a pound and tucks comfortably inside the vest without compromising design and style.

As someone who has lived his whole life in a tropical climate, I assure you if this vest can keep me warm in the winter, it can keep anyone warm. I invite you to join me in this investment journey as together we warm the world!

Risks and challenges:

We believe that no one wants to see an excellent idea executed poorly, especially one called the Copertura Label fashionable heating jacket. We have worked extremely hard to get this product for Indiegogo. However, there could be things we might consider as risks:

MANUFACTURING: We are dealing with only one manufacturer. They have capacity to produce over a thousand pieces a day. More colors we have more time it requests to process the vests.

FULFILLMENT: To minimize the possibility of manufacturing setbacks, we will use express services. In case of a delay, we have an other manufacturer as a backup supplier for the garments.

We are working with a manufacturer who have many years of experience in delivering excellent products in tremendous quantities in a very short time. We have no doubt that something can happen, but obstacle will be addressed by combining our internal knowledge with external expertise, and providing the best possible fashionable heating jacket you, our first lovely customers.

Any pledge amount brings us one step forward to reach our aim. Help us make Copertura Label the first fashion brand that brings the first fashionable heated vest  by clicking the ‘Back This Project’ button at the top of the page, or by spreading the word in your social network or community.
