Offering a range of heated, ‘smart’ sportswear to include gloves, socks and vests suitable for adventure and outdoor sports during cold winter months.

Vulcan founder and athlete, John Durance, has spent many cold winters engaging in his love for adventure and outdoor sports; from snowboarding and skiing to hiking and cycling in the mountains of Iceland and Finland. John felt that even the best quality gear for outdoor sports wasn’t keeping him warm in cold temperatures and it was from here that Vulcan was born. John came up with the idea and set about researching the technology. He discovered that the biggest challenge was to overcome the conductor design where wiring was very cumbersome and often inhibited the wearer. Using carbon fibre as the conductor resolves this with the wires so fine, you can’t feel them. John then set about creating a brand name and story that matched up with what he had forged and it was from this very word that it came about. In ancient Roman mythology, Vulcan is the God of Fire and related to the fire of volcanoes and the forge. This powerful force, accompanied with the symbol for Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, depicting scorching heat, is truly what the brand represents – heat. Vulcan products are not made, they are forged.
