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

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.
