VENEX, a brand operated by VENEX Co., Ltd., has revised the fabric and silhouettes of COMFORT HEAT, its winter-only collection sold since 2019. The new RECOVERY HEAT+ collection offers six women's styles spanning tops, pants, a dress, and a poncho.

Revised Fabric, Necklines, and Pant Shapes for RECOVERY HEAT+
The company says it has revised the fabric weight while retaining the previous moisture-activated heat generation and heat-retention properties. The fabric surface has a brushed finish with the pile trimmed short.
The crewneck has been redesigned with a slightly closer-fitting neckline. The company says it has revised the rise of the high neckline to help the collar stay upright. The pants offer more room around the hips and come in two shapes: tapered and straight.
The women's range also includes a bottleneck dress. For the High-Neck Poncho, the brand suggests layering it over clothes you already own or slipping it on while spending time at home.
