Abstract: Resistive garments featuring a special knit, realized by circular knitting machines, fitted in some areas with an electrical circuit realised by direct knitting of conductive yarn in combination with a base of non-resistive yarn. The electrical circuit of this resistive garment is made up by three different knitting structures for “held or excluded stitches” with no cutting or stitching, in direct connection, without interruptions of any type. An electronic circuit allows the control of energy flowing in to the different heating zones of the electric circuit.
