Trending: Why Uniqlo’s HEATTECH clothing line is a hot option for Canadian winters

Jan 12 2024, 5:17 pm

With temperatures dropping and snow falling across Canada this week, there’s no better time to winter-fy your wardrobe. Uniqlo Canada’s HEATTECH line is both stylish and practical, perfect for hitting the slopes, strolling the city, or braving the commute to work on those dreaded -30 days. 

Looking for the ultimate ally in the battle against Canada’s bone-chilling weather? HEATTECH is made with an innovative fabric that generates heat from your body, meaning the clothes are thin and light, yet surprisingly warm.

With a range of styles, including leggings, shirts, accessories, and more, you can style your ideal winter outfit without the bulk. Here are just a few of the ways you can style HEATTECH fashion to suit your needs — and the temperature!

Everyday essentials

Walking from the bus stop? Your corner of the office a little too cold for comfort? HEATTECH has a range of casual clothing items that can be dressed up to your desire while keeping you nice and toasty. 

The HEATTECH fleece turtleneck T-shirt comes in 16 different colours and can seamlessly weave itself in with your existing style. If you even want to rock an entire HEATTECH outfit, we love the HEATTECH extra stretch high-rise legging pants, which are perfect for keeping you warm while strolling around the city.

Both options have a sleek fit that stretches to your preferences, so you don’t have to sacrifice comfort, style, or practicality. It’s a win-win-win! 

Hit the slopes in style 

When have Canadians ever let the weather stop them from enjoying the great outdoors?

There’s no shortage of fun to be had year-round in our beautiful country, and the temperature shouldn’t prevent you from skating in Toronto rinks, skiing the BC mountains, or even walking the dog through your own neighbourhood — whatever it is that gets you out into the fresh air. 

The HEATTECH crewneck long-sleeved ultra-warm T-shirt is 2.25 times warmer than the standard HEATTECH fabric, while still maintaining classic, lightweight comfort, making it the perfect option for cold-weather activities. Kick things up a notch with the HEATTECH extra-warm cotton tights, which can fit underneath your regular pants and are 1.5 times warmer than regular HEATTECH.

Accessorize, accessorize! 

The finishing touches on any winter ensemble are, of course, the accessories. HEATTECH has you covered with their knitted gloves, lined padded scarf, and super cute ribbed beanie. And for all the low-circulation girlies out there, the HEATTECH socks are a lifesaver for chronically cold feet. 


With three levels of heat retention across a variety of styles, HEATTECH is made to get you through chilly fall days to the freezing heart of winter, wherever you are and no matter the outdoor action.

But if feeling is believing for you — try braving the cold in HEATTECH apparel for yourself! You can check out the entire range of HEATTECH fashion on the Uniqlo website or experience just how comfortable, lightweight, and stylish HEATTECH gear is in person by visiting a Uniqlo location near you.
