After spending too many of his kid’s games with freezing legs, our founder Charles set out to develop an improved stadium blanket. Instead, after developing, modeling and testing over 40 different designs, the result was a technical garment for the lower body that was dramatically warmer than a stadium or picnic blanket. The results were so dramatic that he applied for a patent on the technology.
How the Mozy Blanket Wrap Prevents Convective Heat Loss
Convective Heat Loss
Jeans
Heat loss all over the legs due to minimal protection
Cool breeze (blue arrows) carry away warm body heat (red arrows)
Stadium Blanket
Heat loss in the gaps of the blanket, as well as the back of the legs
Cool breeze (blue arrows) carry away warm body heat (red arrows)
Mozy
No convective heat loss
Cool breeze (blue arrows) cannot penetrate the Mozy. The legs remain warm
Molecular Convective Heat Loss
Cool air (blue) outside the Jeans and warm air molecules (red) inside the jeans and close to the jeans exterior
Cool air (blue) outside the Jeans and warm air molecules (red) inside the jeans and close to the jeans exterior
Cool air (blue) outside the Jeans and warm air molecules (red) inside the jeans and close to the jeans exterior
As wind starts, the cold molecules on the exterior replace the warm molecules

As wind starts, the cold molecules on the exterior replace the warm molecules
The cold molecules then penetrate the jeans and replace the warm molecules touching the skin. The body then feels cold and tries to warm the skin

To test the various iterations of improved blanket wraps, controlled engineering tests were conducted to measure the body heat loss as a function of temperature and time. The test dummy was warmed to 95° (typical skin tempurature) and wired with thermocouples to measure three different products against the unprotected body (control). The tests were performed at 37° with a fan blowing at 10mph. Tested were jeans, a stadium blanket and the Mozy.
