Anyone living in Burnaby or Vancouver knows the struggle: to stay warm in December, you usually have to dress like the Michelin Man. The damp chill cuts right through standard hoodies, forcing us to pile on heavy wool and thick down jackets just to survive the wait at the SkyTrain station or the trailhead.
But at Hikesity, we believe warmth shouldn't weigh you down. It comes down to better materials, not more layers.
If you are still lugging around a heavy winter coat and a clunky steel water bottle, you are doing winter wrong. It’s time to upgrade to the "Ultralight Bio-Warming System".
The Science of "Smart Warmth"
Traditional winter dressing relies on bulk—trapping air with thick, heavy fabrics. It works, but it limits your movement and makes you sweat the moment you step indoors or start hiking uphill.
Our approach is different. We combine innovative thermal fabric (to warm you from the outside) with aerospace-grade titanium (to warm you from the inside).
The result? You stay 4°C warmer while carrying 50% less weight.
Layer 1: The External Shield (+6°C Skin Temp)
It starts with your base layer. Our Warmth Collection isn't just regular underwear. It is engineered with high-tech fibers that actively trap your body's infrared heat.
- The Tech: This fabric technology has been tested to raise your skin surface temperature by up to 4°C.
- The Feel: It’s paper-thin, breathable, and invisible under your street clothes.
- The Benefit: Because your core stays warmer, you can skip the bulky middle layer. Wear a stylish shell or a light jacket, and you are good to go.
Layer 2: The Internal Furnace (18-Hour Heat)
External layers can only do so much. Real warmth comes from the inside out. This is where our partner gear comes in: the Revomax Titanium Bottle.
Why Titanium? Because in the world of ultralight gear, steel is obsolete.
- Featherlight: A Revomax Titanium bottle is 40% lighter than a standard steel flask. You won't even feel it in your bag.
- Medical-Grade: Unlike steel, titanium adds zero metallic taste to your drink. Your hot coffee or ginger tea tastes exactly as it should.
The "Furnace" Effect: Thanks to the double-wall vacuum insulation, your drink stays piping hot for 18 hours. A sip of hot tea on a freezing summit or a cold bus stop acts like an internal heater, instantly radiating warmth through your body.

One System, Two Modes
Whether you are navigating the concrete jungle or the actual jungle, this setup adapts to you.
1. The Metro Commuter
Driving to work or taking the SkyTrain?
- Wear the Hikesity Thermal Tank under your work shirt. You won't overheat in the office, but you’ll stay cozy on the platform.
- Keep the 20oz Titanium Bottle in your car cup holder. The one-handed, threadless cap means you can sip safely while driving.
2. The Weekend Hiker
Heading up to Deer Lake or Squamish?
- Ditch the heavy parka. The Thermal Vest keeps your core warm while leaving your arms free for trekking poles.
Clip the 20oz Titanium Bottle to your pack. It’s tough enough to handle drops on granite rocks and light enough to keep you moving fast.
Upgrade Your Winter
Stop dreading the cold. With the right materials, you can embrace the season without the bulk.
