In response to customer feedback, Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo has not only increased its LifeWear heat-retention range, but also improved it.

The Uniqlo HeatTech Extra Warm line offers around 1.5 times more heat retention than regular HeatTech items.

Also for the first time, the women’s line includes figure-enhancing Comfort Beauty Wear innerwear. Uniqlo HeatTech and women’s HeatTech Extra Warm innerwear fibres are infused with argan oil, which is soft on the skin, while men’s HeatTech uses micro-fibres that quickly absorb and wick away sweat.

Uniqlo has also expanded the knit loop and increased the expansion ratio for the HeatTech Extra Warm line, boosting stretchability for increased comfort.

Also new to the women’s Uniqlo HeatTech range this year are Body Shaper bra tops and shorts, plus V-neck innerwear has been developed in response to customer demand.
