With the freezing winter temperatures and the escalating costs of heating, there never seems to be enough clothing to keep warm.

Now, Domino’s UK has the solution – and it comes in the unlikely form of a bizarre garment of clothing.

‘Heat Suit’ – created by the pizza delivery giant as part of a ‘trial’ – is made from the ‘hot bag’ insulation material found in its pizza delivery bags to keep food warm.

Like some kind of rejected design for a NASA spacesuit, the eccentric outfit borrows the red and blue colour scheme of the Domino’s logo.

It has a handy front pocket to store your Garlic and Herb dip and a clear pocket for your smartphone – perfect for eating pizza without getting your phone mucky.

‘We believe that pizza should only be eaten one way – piping hot,’ said Sam Wilson, ‘temperature control officer’ and PR manager at Domino’s.

‘The Heat Suit trial is one small step for Domino’s, but a giant leap for warmth.’

Pending its successful testing, the suit could become available to those feeling the chill during the winter months, according to the company.

MailOnline has contacted a Domino’s spokesperson about the potential cost of the suit and whether it’ll be available before spring arrives – or if it’s all just a PR stunt.

It’s unclear whether Heat Suit could be sold in Domino’s stores, or as part of a collaboration with a high street retailer, akin to Greggs and Primark.

‘It’s early days for our trial, and sadly customers can’t get their hands on one just yet,’ said Wilson.

‘But if all goes to plan our Heat Suit could be a game changer for future pizza lovers who want to be as toasty as our dough.’

The suit will easily maintain core body temperature and lose just 4 degrees of temperature over a two-hour period, according to Domino’s.

As well as extra padding, Heat Suit also includes a dedicated pocket for napkins, a hood with integrated drawstring, and removable hand and feet sections.

These could be handy when the wearer wants to use their extremities for certain tasks, like ‘grabbing a pizza slice’, typing on a keyboard or clipping toenails, without having to take the whole suit off.

Promo images suggest the Heat Suit can be used on the go, in the office and at the pub, as well as in the privacy of one’s home.

However, wearers might gather some strange looks from passers-by, at least until the Heat Suit catches on.

Domino’s insists the outfit is ‘practical’, although it’s unclear whether it would fit into a backpack if the wearer gets too hot if at a pub.

The Domino’s Hot Bag technology was first introduced in 1998 to ensure that pizza was delivered piping hot to customers homes, no matter how long the journey.

Originally, each Hot Bag contained a patented heating mechanism charged by plugging into an electric outlet at the store.

The suit will easily maintain core body temperature and lose just 4 degrees of temperature over a two-hour period, according to Domino's

The outer material of the Hot Bag is made with water-repellent nylon, which replaced the less sturdy vinyl material previously used.

‘Domino’s has continued to innovate and evolve the technology, removing the electric cord and heating each bag via an induction heating system,’ the company says on its website.

‘The latest Hot Bags relies solely on a patented insulation system that keeps pizzas both hot and crisp – eliminating the need for electricity.’
