A regular power bank is enough to heat the sleeping bag.

To keep the soldiers in the trenches warmer, Vinnytsia volunteer Hryhoriy Zhovmyr made heated bags. They are made of strong, waterproof fabric and are heated using a power bank.

Several dozen such sleeping bags are already on the front line, and Grigory’s atelier does not have time to sew new ones to meet the demand, according to the TSN story.

In the small workshop, work does not stop for a minute, four seamstresses sew camouflage sleeping bags for the front at an almost industrial pace. At first glance, it is an ordinary sleeping bag, but in fact it is unique. Technologists worked on it for several months.

It consists of several layers. It’s a waterproof and windproof fabric, a thermal barrier (foil), after that comes a sintepon, and then – 8 heating elements and artificial fur,” says Zhovmir.

In order for the sleeping bag to be heated, an ordinary power bank is enough, it powers the heating elements. This is all safe, because we are talking about a voltage of 12 volts.

The developer is selling part of the sleeping bags in order to purchase materials for the new batch, their price is 3 thousand hryvnias.

Predictions about the war in Ukraine in winter

National Guard officer Andrii Illenko stated that winter will significantly complicate the process of conducting hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, and the fighting will still be intense.

Analysts of the Institute for the Study of War predicted that the Armed Forces, on the contrary, could take advantage of the frozen terrain to move more easily than in the fall.

And the head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, Serhiy Kuzan, believes that winter can slow down the course of hostilities at the front, but the Armed Forces are ready to fight in winter.
