It's thin and flexible, and can be crumpled and washed.What surprised me was how the heating system felt like any slick jacket liner. I could crumple the fabric in my fist, and it felt like a plastic sticker decal.That's because the tech is, put simply, ink. Designed in the shape of an American flag, the heat comes through conductive carbon and silver inks electronically printed on a panel that's bonded to the interior of the jacket. The panel itself is about the size of both my hands put together, under a foot long.Of course, it needs power. Hidden beneath the jacket's puffy padding is a thin power cord that starts at the panel and snakes its way down to the right-side front pocket. Open the pocket, and you'll find a wad of cords and a removable, rechargeable battery pack emblazoned with the Polo logo.Athletes are supported financially through the sale of Ralph Lauren apparel. But as for the heated jackets, fewer than 100 were released to stores, each costing $2,495 a piece -- and all sold out in under 20 minutes. When Team USA enters the Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony on February 9, they’ll be dressed head-to-toe in Polo Ralph Lauren, an official outfitter of Team USA since 2008. And, despite PyeongChang’s frigid February temperatures, they’ll also be nice and warm. Some of that warmth, no doubt, will come from the pride that goes with representing your country on the world’s largest stage. The rest? For that you can thank the limited-edition opening ceremony parka, a groundbreaking mix of iconic Polo design and cutting-edge American technology that was created specifically for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. Thanks to an American flag, on the interior back panel, printed via a highly advanced, conductive carbon and silver ink, each jacket has the ability to augment the natural warmth of 750-fill-power down with modern technology. The water-repellent jackets are equipped with a slender battery pack with three heat settings (that lasts up to 11 hours at full charge), allowing athletes to maximize their own comfort based on outside conditions—and internal excitement.On the heels of the innovative PoloTech shirt and the light-up blazer worn by flagbearer Michael Phelps at the 2016 opening ceremony in Rio, the heated jacket is the latest in a series of pioneering wearable tech offerings from RL. “This time, the team took it to a new level, using flexible fabrics to heat a jacket in a way that we had never seen before,” says Chief Innovation Officer David Lauren. “Beyond adding extra warmth, the technology added a modernity to the iconic style of the Olympic and Paralympic outfits. And the American flag pattern was a clever touch.”
