* 4 “new” points! *
* ・Improved performance and placement of heating wires*
* Equipped with boost mode! *Addition of fourth temperature zone* * ・Choice of battery placement on the front and back of the wrist* * ・Pursuing heat retention with our original “windproof fabric” and brushed lining*
* [7.4V high power] *
Heat is distributed evenly to areas that easily get cold, such as the fingertips and back of the hand, and temperature unevenness is significantly reduced compared to previous models.
Generally, 3.7V specifications are common, but in pursuit of higher warmth, *7.4V type*
The high-output design that uses , it is possible to raise the temperature in a short time, and it warms your fingertips even in extremely cold environments.
This excellent temperature control keeps you comfortable without feeling cold and delivers high performance.
* [Adjust the performance and placement of heating wires] *
The thickness of the heating wire is approximately twice that of conventional products, and a protective structure that prevents wire breakage has been adopted.
In conventional products, the heating wires were unprocessed, so there was a risk of wire breakage, which led to concerns about a decrease in warmth.
However, this product greatly reduces the risk of wire breakage by bundling the heating wires and strengthening the protective structure. In conventional products, the heating wires are placed to follow the contours of the fingers, but in this product, the heating wires are placed one by one to fit the surface of the finger and wrap around the finger.
By paying careful attention to everything from the thickness of the heating wires to their placement, we have created the ultimate smart outer heater glove that improves durability and gives you a warmer feeling.
* [Equipped with boost mode for even more warmth] *
*When using boost mode, we recommend adjusting the temperature appropriately. If you feel any discomfort, please stop using it immediately.
We received feedback from customers who purchased the previous model or conventional product, saying, “It doesn’t warm your fingertips,” “I don’t feel any warmth,” and “It doesn’t work at all on windy days.”
In particular, some people have complained that it is difficult to “feel warmth” when riding a bike in strong winter winds, so in addition to the previous mode, we have added a new * “boost mode” *. As a result, we have attempted to resolve these dissatisfaction points by increasing the heat source temperature of this product.
* [So much commitment that we named it “smart”]*
The design is so slim and stylish that you won’t even think it’s an outerwear. Of course, we checked the specifications and sizes over and over again in terms of heat retention, mobility, convenience, and design, and through repeated trial and error, we finally created a product that satisfied all developers and sales staff.
* [Warmth retention] * Windproof fabric, brushed lining, and just the right amount of filling prevent cold wind and keep you warm. * [Mobility] * The moderate elasticity of the fabric does not interfere with the movement of your hands and fingers, allowing for ease of movement.
* [Convenience] * Despite its smart size, it can be worn as an outer layer with an inner layer underneath.
* [Design] * Stylish and simple design that can be used in any occasion * ▼ The fabric stretches appropriately, so finger movements are smooth and comfortable ▼*
* [Solve the problem of battery installation location! ] *
Designed to be installed on both the inside and outside of the wrist! According to the results of a survey of heater glove users, opinions regarding the battery installation location were almost 50/50. Therefore, we devised a way to place the battery in a location where the user would feel comfortable moving their hands.
* An original feature only available in the Furdo series, allowing you to change the battery position to suit your usage. *
* [We have put even more attention to detail! ] *
The tips of the thumb and index finger are treated with an anti-slip finish that makes it convenient for holding and grasping objects, and is compatible with smartphone operations.

And if you are concerned about dirt, you can also wash it by hand*.
* [Active in various scenes! ] *
It can be used in a variety of situations such as “motorcycle touring”, “winter fishing”, “walking”, “commuting to
work/school”, “snow shoveling”, “outdoor activities”, and “winter sports” in cold places.
* [Furdo introduction] *
Our heater product series “Furdo” was developed in Oita Prefecture and has the concept of “providing comfortable warmth similar to a hot spring.” Based on this concept, we aim to create products that relieve you from the cold and give you a relaxing and warm feeling as if you were soaking in a hot spring.
* [Development story] *
Hello, my name is Abe and I am in charge of product planning. The development of the Furdo smart heater glove began in response to requests from many customers.
In particular, we received a lot of feedback from * “I want outer-type gloves, not just inner-type gloves.”*
The Furdo inner heater glove, which was a big hit last year, is now in its third generation, and has been further improved with features such as a function that thoroughly warms the fingertips and a boost mode. Based on this power-up, we developed an outer glove type* while inheriting its excellent functions.
*It also provides both warmth and ease of movement as an outer glove*, providing a new option that is perfect for outdoor activities and daily life.
Furdo Smart Heating Gloves are new heating gloves that have been reborn to bring more people a comfortable winter.
