Heat Holders®
Drew Brady Company Inc. was established in 1947 in England as a yarn trader. In the last few decades the company has expanded into the manufacturing, importing and distributing of quality socks.
Heat Holders® were developed by a talented in-house product development team that accepted the challenge of making a sock that would be the warmest sock ever – while still comfortable and practical to wear in daily life. It wasn’t easy, but the team came up with Heat Holders® as the solution in 2008.
Since then the company has sold more than 10 million pairs worldwide and distribution continues to grow.

CosySoles Heated Slippers
The owner of CosySoles, Amanda Kotack suffers from painfully cold feet caused by a neuromuscular condition that runs in her family. Her father, Allan, originally made the first pair of CosySoles microwave heated slippers for her mum Patricia, who also suffered from cold feet. With the determination to develop a product that was warm, comfortable, and allowed for mobility, Allan single-handedly stitched the very first pair of CosySoles.

The owner of CosySoles, Amanda Kotack suffers from painfully cold feet caused by a neuromuscular condition that runs in her family. Her father, Allan, originally made the first pair of CosySoles microwave heated slippers for her mum Patricia, who also suffered from cold feet. With the determination to develop a product that was warm, comfortable, and allowed for mobility, Allan single-handedly stitched the very first pair of CosySoles.
These slippers were life-changing and before long they realized that CosySoles could help so many others. The discovery of a wide array of disorders which caused cold feet, including Raynaud’s, led to the decision to share the warmth of CosySoles with the rest of the world.
In 2009, the Kotack family appeared on CBC’s Dragons’ Den (the Canadian equivalent to Shark Tank in the U.S.) which led to further exposure and an investment deal with Brett Wilson. Allan sadly passed away in 2013 after a tough battle with cancer. Amanda and her family are proud to continue spreading the warmth of CosySoles, and are passionate about providing a high-quality therapeutic product that has a major impact on so many lives. They remain true to creating a quality Canadian-made product that helps warm the soles and the soul.

Life Giving Warmth™
Life Giving Warmth was founded by Paul LaRue out of the love and devotion he has for his daughter who was born with Cerebral Palsy. One of her favorite activities is to go on outdoor adventures, but, like many wheelchair users, she has poor circulation causing her to get cold very easily. Even everyday activities subject his daughter to being cold.

Life Giving Warmth was founded by Paul LaRue out of the love and devotion he has for his daughter who was born with Cerebral Palsy. One of her favorite activities is to go on outdoor adventures, but, like many wheelchair users, she has poor circulation causing her to get cold very easily. Even everyday activities subject his daughter to being cold.
A few years ago, the idea occurred to Paul that a battery-powered heating blanket could be a warm solution for his daughter and others like her. After several online searches came up short, he and his wife Carolynne started on their journey to invent the world’s first battery-powered heating blanket, and the Cozee was born!
After years of revisions and new innovations the company has created a range of indoor/outdoor blankets serving the warming needs of not only those with limited mobility in wheelchairs, but also those suffering from other medical conditions involving poor circulation and low cold tolerance.
Whether you or your loved one are on dialysis, suffering from Raynaud’s disease or other medical issues, the company’s battery-powered heating blankets provide indoor comfort and make outdoor adventures a warm and comfortable reality.

At the intersection of tech and fashion, FibreHeat® is the brainchild of four founders. Their deep background in engineering, fashion and business development led them to take a fresh look at performance fabrics.
The company’s mission is to bring relief to those suffering with Raynaud’s and other medical ailments that can impact circulation, including arthritis and hypothyroidism.
Their goal was to develop a fashionable glove that can act as a therapeutic device that’s easy to wear, inexpensive and works to put an end to painful and throbbing fingers without making sufferers feel like they’re wearing a medical device or look like a “ski bunny”.
They explored applying next-generation fabrics to therapy gloves for Raynaud’s sufferers and, after months of testing, they’ve developed a great looking glove that keeps fingers warm and protects them from the cold.

HXT Heat Exchange Technology
Years ago while developing a line of running gloves for a major U.S. glove company, Lou Fliszar, Heat X-Change Technology’s founder, discovered research suggesting that up to 40% of all people do not experience warm hands wearing conventional gloves.
Often these cold hands were the result of poor circulation brought on by a variety of ailments, including Raynaud’s. Lou came to the conclusion that the only way to provide adequate warmth and comfort was to produce a glove that has an external heat source. The requirements were numerous, including development of an external heat source that was adjustable and could be directed to various areas of the hand. The system had to be simple to use, affordable, re-useable, and eco-friendly. The result, HXT, is a patent-pending technology that guarantees warm hands in all conditions. For those with cold hands, HXT is the solution.

Deborah Vezan, founder of Limbkeepers® products spent 35 years as a New York based apparel executive where she gained her manufacturing and product expertise. Spending nine years as care manager for both of her elderly parents educated and exposed her to the many needs and demands of a rapidly expanding and aging population.
These two careers collided and Limbkeepers® sleeves became a necessary reality for her mother who was high risk for skin tears.
Inspired by her sport apparel, Deborah brought her design ideas to an athletic sock factory in North Carolina where she made her first prototypes. When the sleeves proved to be effective in protecting her mother’s fragile skin, she knew her sleeves would be of benefit to others. This mission is the driving force behind Limbkeepers® and is the foundation upon which the company develops innovative products for future offerings – making a difference in the quality of life.
Launched in 2013, Limbkeepers® are now sold online and distributed through pharmacies and durable medical equipment suppliers in 23 states and two other countries.

FlavaNaturals®
Alan Frost, founder of FlavaNaturals, is an entrepreneur and business executive with over 28 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2016, he launched FlavaNaturals, a line of premium, all-natural chocolate and cocoa powder with levels of cocoa flavanol antioxidants proven to enhance brain, heart and skin health.
FlavaNaturals®
Alan Frost, founder of FlavaNaturals, is an entrepreneur and business executive with over 28 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2016, he launched FlavaNaturals, a line of premium, all-natural chocolate and cocoa powder with levels of cocoa flavanol antioxidants proven to enhance brain, heart and skin health.
It all started when his wife Shari tossed the New York Times on his lap and said “I told you we should eat more chocolate!” She’d just read an article about a Columbia University study that linked chocolate to enhanced memory. Soon after, Alan began a three-year quest to develop delicious, naturally sourced, high-flavanol chocolate that promotes wellness, performance, and achievement. The result, two breakthrough chocolate products, FlavaBars and FlavaMix, that taste amazing and deliver 5X to 9X the plant-based cocoa flavanol antioxidants of a typical dark chocolate bar.
The company takes great pride in differentiating the quality and health benefits of its brand through searching out only the most premium, high flavanol beans in the world. It also uses proprietary methods of fermentation and roasting to preserve the highly sensitive flavanols in their products that are easily destroyed by conventional chocolate processing.
The cocoa flavanol concentrations in FlavaNaturals products were methodically selected based on a review of clinical studies scientifically proving the health benefits flavanols can generate, such as improved cognition and heart health. And the firm’s products are precisely tested for both flavanol concentration and flavor to assure consistency of stated cocoa flavanol levels as well as great taste. FlavaNaturals’ goal is to help you be your best self, everyday!

Glider Gloves
Glider Gloves was a basement startup project founded by a small group of young entrepreneurs who weren’t satisfied with the basic functionality offered by standard screen-sensitive gloves on the market. Their standards called for excellent quality, innovation and the ability to protect the hands without loss of connectivity with touchscreens.
Glider Gloves
A majority of today’s mobile devices are capacitive, meaning they use your body’s bioelectric field to interact. When you wear regular gloves, they act as a barrier, cutting off the interaction between the body and the screen. Conductive threads blended into the gloves help bridge the gap between the skin and the device, facilitating interaction.
But for the team at Glider Gloves, the most basic functionality wasn’t enough. Their standards called for excellent quality, innovation and the ability to protect the hands without loss of connectivity with touchscreens. As a result, Glider Gloves take the basic requirements three steps further by adding features such as full touch response, anti-slip grips and three layers of warmth and protection to the product.
Founded by a small group of young entrepreneurs with one great idea, the Glider Gloves product was a basement startup project with the original purpose of personal use only. By 2011, the product gained much attention in the retail world and was being sold in hundreds of mobile and sporting goods stores across Canada, the U.S. and parts of Europe. Now the product is sold and distributed in retail stores and ecommerce sites globally.

HEATJAC’s product line was developed by Mark Silverberg, DDS, MD, Board Certified Anesthesiologist. He recognized that those in his profession sit for hours on end in freezing cold Operating Rooms during surgery and wanted to find a quality warming solution.
Dr. Silverberg’s daughter is a Raynaud’s sufferer, so he truly understands the issue of cold tolerance for those who live with it every day, not just in the OR. His daughter is an outdoor enthusiast living in Chicago where temperatures often fall below -10 below zero. Now she’s HEATJAC’’s biggest fan, saying the heated vest allows her to stay warm and comfortable not feeling the frigid cold.
The company makes several versions of the concept, including the Hot Liner vest powered by air-activated warmers, and their line of Freeze no mORe heated belts with heat powered by rechargeable batteries, or powered by being plugged into a transformer, or off the battery of a snowmobile or motorbike. Their heated belts are referred to as “Wearable Radiators!”
All of HEATJAC’s unique heating garments are designed to add “super warming power” to any cold weather clothing.

Founder Julia Tatiyatrairong knitted her first inspired pair of hand warmers for her boyfriend who works in tech. He was looking for ways to help prevent repetitive strain injury and heard how keeping your hands warm while you work can help. After a couple years of seeing him enjoy wearing them every day and having noticeably fewer strain issues, Julia started to take the idea more seriously for starting her own business.
She began prototyping her product and used her mother – a Raynaud’s sufferer – as another key resource for input and testing. With some first-hand positive feedback from her earliest adopters, she moved forward, and Refiber Designs was launched in 2019. The company’s lightweight, comfortable and practical hand warmers are now patent pending!
Julia is so happy to be able to share her high-quality, handmade and sustainable products with those who benefit from their warmth and hand/wrist pain preventative features.

The Writer's Glove
The Writer’s Glove® was invented by Ben Sobieck, an author, editor and publishing executive who spends a lot of time at his keyboard in Minnesota where the winter temps can be challenging even for those who don’t experience Raynaud’s attacks.
Ben tried several creative solutions to find warmth, including lighting candles near his keyboard, but found he lost a lot of productivity from slowed typing and constant candle refreshes. As this wasn’t the safest or most productive option, he searched for a glove that would both keep his hands warm and didn’t slow his typing.
He was disappointed to find only gimmicks and fingerless gloves which just didn’t work for him. Ben wanted something that covered his entire hand for optimal warmth and comfort. Determined not to give up, Ben started tinkering with materials and working with manufacturing partners, and after a few prototypes, The Writer’s Glove® was born!
The product is now benefiting those who find their typing slows down in colder months, work in offices where air conditioning leaves hands chilled in warmer months, or just want a keyboard glove that finally gets it right.

H2C Brands was formed to provide unique product solutions that help make life’s battle a little more comfortable, simpler and more fun. The Volt™ heated indoor/outdoor slipper was developed as a personal challenge to the founder.
He was looking to create a solution for those who suffer from cold feet, particularly his mother and others with Raynaud’s. Actively involved in the heated clothing industry for the past decade, he has been focused on developing products that help keep motorcyclists, our military and outdoor enthusiasts warm. But none of these products were particularly suited for a woman in her late fifties who just needed a simple solution to help keep her feet warm with something that was easy to use, reliable and worked as advertised.
With his mother as inspiration, he made this his mission in creating the Volt™ product line, which now includes heated footwear, gloves, vests, jackets and scarves – all designed to be reliable and easy to use, look fashionable and above all keep people warm.

Wristies, Inc.
On a cold and snowy winter’s day, 10 year old KK Gregory was out building a snow fort when her wrists started to hurt because they were cold and wet. She remedied the problem by creating the first pair of Wristies, wearing them under her coat and mittens. She tried out her novel and unique creation on her scout troop who encouraged her to make more. Further encouraged by her mom and dad to see herself as an inventor, KK applied for a patent, trademarked the name Wristies, and started her own small company!
From Wristies®’ beginning in 1994 on the dining room table. it grew to take over the living room, kitchen table, basement, upstairs bedroom, loft, and garage. Now, located in a renovated cotton mill in Lowell, Massachusetts, Wristies are produced in a more traditional manufacturing environment. The company keeps growing with a whole lot of help from its best resource, its customers! Wristies is grateful for all of the feedback, ideas, and suggestions for new markets and products from its loyal and supportive customers. Thinking back to the advice KK gave during her interview on Oprah, if you have a good idea, “go for it!,” we continue to develop Wristies to its fullest.
