Hello dear readers,

my name is Ariane and I was diagnosed with the disease "systemic scleroderma" about 14 months ago.
This disease is a rare systemic autoimmune disease that causes a progressive thickening of the connective tissue and changes in the blood vessels with circulatory disorders.

This is particularly painful in cold weather - the fingers and toes discolour and the fingertips may die - the so-called Morbus-Reynoud Syndrome. That's why I have to wear very warm clothes in winter and at low temperatures. My illness brought me especially to cycling, I cycle meanwhile 12 hours per week and would like to take part in many cycling events and my big goal is to conquer the Großglockner with my bike. I train a lot and of course I also want to cycle outside in winter. Last winter a good friend told me to try these heated gloves Thermo Gloves and I can only say: "they work great".

Unfortunately my other body parts remained too cold. 3 months ago I got the heated underwear for testing, although it was quite warm in the first weeks, I used the heated undershirt. Now with temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius to 0 degrees I also use the heated underpants. And I can only tell you one thing and confirm, these parts save my training! I feel the warmth quite actively, don't freeze anymore and am so much longer on the bike compared to last year.

At the moment I train 3 times a week for 4 hours each and always use the heated underwear. Without these I wouldn't be able to do that anymore. Thank you for letting me test this underwear so early. I can only warmly recommend them to everyone.

As we cyclists always say: There is no bad weather, there is only bad clothing - but for me, thanks to thermo-underwear, I always have the RIGHT clothing!!!!
