But in the conditions of the Russian climate, even a very powerful stove will not help to warm up the car immediately after turning on after parking in the open air. Will get a cape with heating on the seat of the car.
Luxury or necessity?
In fact, heating the seat - this is not an additional element of comfort, but an essential function. Sitting on a cold car seat is not only unpleasant in winter, but also dangerous for health. There are several options for creating warm seats. Some folk craftsmen manage to even introduce heating elements inside the upholstery. But why apply so much effort if there is a simple and convenient option? When high-quality heating of the car seats is required, the capes are the best solution. Their main advantage is universality. Covers can be used in cars of any make and model. Do not forget that there are no complications during installation. Covers themselves to remove or remove can be any motorist.
How are heated capes?
Externally, the heated seats are reminiscent of the usual covers on the car seats . They can be executed in any design. In this case, the material can have not only any color, but also a different density and texture. Inside the fabric cover there are heating elements. The most common option is a wire with high resistance. Some models use a special tape. The heated cap on the car seat should heat up to a pleasant temperature. Adjustment is carried out by the thermostat. The device can have one or two temperature modes, in expensive models it is possible to set the desired temperature to within a degree. Most cloaks work from the cigarette lighter, some are connected to the car's power supply system directly.
What to look for when buying?
The classic cape with heated seat on the car seat only heats the seat. If you want, you can find options that heat up and back, but they will be much more expensive. Pay attention to the fabric from which the cloak is made. If it is very soft and thin, you are unlikely to feel comfortable. The best option - fairly dense, moderately tough fabric. You do not need to save on the purchase of heating, in the cheapest models the thermostat works very poorly. And this means that, most likely, you will have to turn off your cloak all the time. However, it is not recommended to constantly drive with the heater turned on during normal operation of the stove. The heated seat cushion on the car seat must turn on immediately after starting the car and work until you get warm. Otherwise, you will steam up, like in a sauna, and at the first exit to the street you risk serious chills due to a sharp change in temperature. Pay attention to the additional features of the cape. Today you can find models in which heating is advantageously combined with the massage effect.
