Atomic Skin™ Heated Apparel with Microclimate Technology™
Rules For Safe Operation
For the best performance, your Atomic Skin Heated Apparel needs to fit snugly without hindering your
movement or compromising comfort. Heat is transferred through relatively close contact between the garment
and the rider’s body. It is recommended that no more than one thin layer of clothing be worn under our heated
apparel. Thick layers such as sweatshirts and sweatpants increase the space between the garment and the wearer,
thus reducing the effectiveness of the heating elements. To function properly, your outer jacket and glove needs
to cover the Atomic Skin Heated Apparel completely. Mesh gloves and jackets are not to be worn over the
Atomic Skin Heated Apparel.
Atomic Skin Heated Apparel is powered by a 12-volt electrical system. To function properly, one wiring harness
per person is needed.
All of the 12-volt DC garments in the Atomic Skin H-Series Heated Apparel line may be used alone or in any
combination with other Atomic Skin Heated Apparel garments, as long as they do not exceed the maximum
amperage allowed by your motorcycle. See the last pages of this instruction sheet or the Service Manual for
your model motorcycle for more detailed information on amperage.
Note: A Service Manual for your model motorcycle is available from the vehicle manufacturer.

Skin Heated Apparel must be used in accordance with the following instructions:
•Unplug all garments when not in use.

•Never leave a garment powered on and unattended.
•Shut off power immediately if wearer feels any discomfort from heat or fit.
! WARNING !

the Atomic Skin Heated Apparel must be used in accordance with the following instructions:
•Atomic Skin Heated Apparel cannot be combined with any other brand of electrically heated
apparel.
•An Atomic Skin temperature controller must always be used with the garment. Always start
with a low setting and then increase the heat slightly to accommodate riding conditions.

properly. The dual channel output allows the combinations of Jacket/Gloves (Zone 1) and Pant/Socks (Zone 2) to
be balanced specifically for your outerwear to maximize comfort and minimize user interaction.
