If you’ve ever packed for a winter weekend away, you’ll know the pressures that can be placed upon the restrictive baggage allowance of a budget airline by the thick thermals and wool jumpers that are called for when the temperatures plunge. But have you ever noticed that the smartest people on the plane breeze through bag drop, unbothered by weighty woolies? The secret? They’re happily living that hand luggage life thanks to the modern marvel that is Uniqlo’s HEATTECH, the ultimate in thin yet warm layering and the key to keeping your own sense of style no matter the season.

In the bad old days, thermal layers meant long johns and vests that, while admittedly cosy, would do nothing for your fashion credentials – unless you’re a fan of the baggy, saggy silhouette that is. But thanks to extensive product development (we’re talking more than 10,000 prototypes here), in HEATTECH Uniqlo has created the ultimate underlayer, keeping you warm while going pretty much undetected.
