A blanket pins you to one chair. A cape does not — and a graphene heated cape adds something no throw blanket can: a heated back panel and heated front panels, powered from a power bank that rides along in an inner pocket.

That one difference is why buyers keep adding this category next to their heated cushions instead of instead of them. A cushion heats one seat. A cape travels with the person.

Custom color & size. Custom design. OEM / ODM. That is not marketing decoration on the hero image — it is the actual business model, and this article breaks down what is configurable and what is fixed.

What a Heated Cape Actually Is

The form is simple: a cape with a front zipper, a stand collar, and a chest-mounted power button. Under the fabric sits a graphene heating film. The glowing honeycomb pattern in the artwork is a visual heating illustration — the construction follows the confirmed sample.

What separates it from the non-heated capes already hanging in your catalogue is exactly what the comparison artwork states:

• No powered heating / no power source needed — the plain cape
• Front + back heating / USB power-bank supply — this one

Two heated zones: the back panel, where the cape covers the back, and two front panels over the chest. The heating area is focused on the back; the front panels are visible when the cape is worn zipped.

One Button, Three Steps

The use flow on the detail sheet is three steps long:

1. Connect USB — the power cable lives in an inner pocket
2. Wear & zip
3. Use chest button

That is the entire interface. There is no remote to lose and no app to install, which matters more for retail returns than any specification does.

The Inner Pocket Is the Design Decision

The power bank goes in a zippered inner pocket; the cable connects inside. The artwork notes that the power bank is shown for illustration and that order contents are to be confirmed — in plain terms, the power bank is not automatically part of the package.

For a buyer, that is a fork in the road, not an omission: some programmes ship the cape alone and let customers use their own bank; others bundle a certified bank and print the pairing on the box. Both exist. The configuration is set per order.

Four Colours, a Hood, and Everything Else That Moves

The customisation sheet lists the options as five groups:

Every one of those is a variation your customer can pick from a matrix rather than request as custom tooling. That is the difference between a product and a product line: one hero SKU, four colours, a hood decision, and a size range that is confirmed per order instead of frozen.

The Fabric, As Far As the Sheet Goes

Three views of the cloth: a textured outer face, a pale soft inner face, and a finished edge on the hem. The composition breakdown is not published, so we do not publish one either — if your programme requires a fibre-content label, that is confirmed with the sample.

What We Are Not Printing

The reference set contains no voltage figure, no wattage, no temperature, no number of heat levels and no runtime. Those figures are confirmed per order and written into the specification before production. A number borrowed from another heated garment in the same catalogue would become a claim on your listing — and an unsupportable claim becomes a return.

The same rule covers the power bank: the compatibility note says power-bank supply, and the included-items line says confirmed per order. Anything more specific is set with the sample.

Who This Suits

• Home-textile and gift retailers — a heated cape sits beside throws, not beside electronics
• Wheelchair and mobility dealers — coverage without straps, heating where a seated body loses it first
• Stadium and outdoor resellers — the cushion customer is the same customer
• Private-label programmes — four stock colours, hood option, button placement: enough matrix to differentiate without new tooling

If any of those is your shelf, the next step is a brief: colour, size, hood, and whether the power bank ships in the box. Send your cape brief to SHEERFOND and the configuration goes straight into the order specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the power bank included?

Order contents are confirmed per order — the artwork shows the bank for illustration. Tell us which configuration you need and that goes into the order specification.

Where does the heating reach?

The back panel is the focused heating area, with front panels over the chest — front plus back heating, as the comparison sheet states.

Can we order it in our own colour?

The sheet lists four stock colours, and colour is one of the confirmed-per-order items — custom colour falls inside the OEM/ODM programme.

What about washing?

Care instructions follow the confirmed sample; they are not printed here.

This product is a comfort product and is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease, and it makes no claim about back pain, joints, muscles, circulation or any other condition. The glowing honeycomb pattern in the artwork is a visual heating illustration, not a thermal image; the construction follows the confirmed sample. The power bank is shown for illustration and order contents are confirmed per order; no water-resistance is claimed of any kind, so keep the product dry. Width, length, colours beyond the four shown, fabric composition, electrical figures and certification status are confirmed per order and are not published here.
