Fieldsheer, a leader in temperature-controlled apparel, has partnered with White Desert, a luxury tour operator specialising in environmentally conscious Antarctic adventures.
Through this partnership, guests on all White Desert excursions can purchase Fieldsheer’s Mobile Warming garments via the White Desert Boutique, either online or at the company’s private showroom in Cape Town, South Africa.
While White Desert offers customers several apparel options to keep warm during their expeditions, Fieldsheer’s Mobile Warming represents the company’s first line of heated garments.
Mobile Warming items are Bluetooth-based and are controlled through a specialised Mobile Connect app. Users can select from four different heat settings for maximum comfort; depending on the heat setting, a single charge can power the garment for up to ten hours.
White Desert discovered the Mobile Warming line while searching for a product to help a guest with Raynaud’s syndrome. This led them to Mobile Warming, where they found the perfect item for their guest’s condition.
Based on this discovery, the company decided to offer heated garments for purchase to all their guests. After reviewing the selections from competitive companies, Mobile Warming emerged as the top choice.
“We have carefully curated a selection of garments that we believe will elevate our guests’ experience on ice,” said Robert McLaren, White Desert Hospitality Manager.
“We examined the competitors and found that Fieldsheer is the leader in heated garments. We only work with premium brands that align with our ethos and vision. Fieldsheer fits that description perfectly.”
White Desert will carry a selection of Mobile Warming products for men and women, including base, mid, and out-layer options.
“We’re thrilled that White Desert chose our Mobile Warming line to help ensure their guests’ comfort,” said Patrick Deighan, Fieldsheer’s Director of E-Commerce and Marketing.
“The weather conditions in Antarctica are as extreme as it gets, especially the cold. Our products are designed to make those trips more comfortable and allow clients to stay outside longer.”
Travelers can acquire Mobile Warming items before embarking on their adventure. White Desert’s client team makes specific gear recommendations during the guest onboarding process leading up to the trip. The recommended gear is also available for purchase at the guest safety briefing before their flight.
