While the temperature has inched up a couple of degrees since last week's cold snap, there's no doubt winter is lurking. To help us stay warm for what's bound to be a chilly couple of months, Japanese retailer Uniqlo is giving away garments made from its fancy Heattech fabric, for free.

Between 7am and 7pm this Friday June 14, head to Martin Place, where you won't be able to miss a giant Uniqlo T-shirt installation. Pop inside to have a thermal Polaroid taken, which will be printed with a unique code. Take it in to Uniqlo in the MidCity Centre shopping mall and redeem it for a free Heatteach item.

The range is designed to help your body generate heat and retain it, keeping you cosy whether you're in the snow or strolling Sydney's streets. It includes long-sleeve tees, singlets, leggings and tights.

Uniqlo's Martin Place installation will pop up from 7am to 7pm on Friday June 14.

    their heat tech aren't that warm, my gf and I bought both long sleeves and pants to wear as inner layers; they dont prove to be effective.

    • Heybargain on 11/06/2019 - 15:41

      I'm pretty warm in my heat tech

    • tukanglistrik on 11/06/2019 - 15:47

      You can't compare with thick inner layers. However for the same thinness I found them to be warmer than the others.
      They do have Heattech Extra Warm and Ultra Warm, which I haven't tried yet. Possibly slightly thicker and denser.

      • Nick K on 11/06/2019 - 16:02

        We bought the "Extra warm" and yeah that's what we find

        • kenunderscore on 11/06/2019 - 16:09

          Bought the Ultra Warm long sleeve and wore it under my hoodie with regular thin trackies. Was 10 degrees in Melbourne and friends were telling me they were cold, to which I replied: "I wouldn't know"

    • watwatwat on 11/06/2019 - 15:56

      I find them to be excellent. Buy heattech Ultra as it is thicker than normal one.

    • maybe a bot on 11/06/2019 - 16:01
      +1

      Their super/ultra warm are much better base layers for cold cold days, for warmer days (eg today in SYD) the normal heattech is great

    • fatal on 11/06/2019 - 16:21

      Heat Tech is weight for weight one of the best heat retaining garments.
      Pretty much only merino wool is better, but it's also a lot more expensive and requires much more maintenance.

  • Rakddon on 11/06/2019 - 16:52

    I’ll be attending :)

  • morgs640 on 11/06/2019 - 17:02
    +3

    Will no doubt get negged for this but I found any of these cheap thermals that aren't Merino Wool to be a waste of $$ better off buying a decent one.

    • virhlpool on 11/06/2019 - 17:15
      +1

      Aldi ones are cheap and still good.. definitely no 100% wool (or even any?) though but material good enough to keep warm.

      • morgs640 on 11/06/2019 - 17:23

        Any under garment will be better than nothing but for really cold days the cheap stuff doesn't cut it.

        • dlovep on 11/06/2019 - 17:49

          hmm… just wonder you only wear under but no jacket/top ? sounds a bit weird tho LoL

        • virhlpool on 12/06/2019 - 11:07

          Aldi ones aren't cheap in the first place.

    • 45rpm on 11/06/2019 - 18:08

      I have had heat tech for at least 10 years and the old ones are still going strong! Only ever bought new ones because of styles and colors. Never went back to any other beand

      • Tamtim on 11/06/2019 - 21:42

        10 years! How did you manage to get them to last so long? I've bought the normal ones, extra warm and ultra warm, and they all stretched after 2 or 3 years. Not as warm as they used to be now

        • 45rpm on 11/06/2019 - 23:58
          +1

          I don't wear it that often since it's not that cold… but I always washed them in wash bags. Used to wear them when I was overseas living in a country that snowed in winter.. .

          • Tamtim on 12/06/2019 - 13:33

            @45rpm: Thanks for the tip! I'll wash them in wash bags from now on :)

    • Cave Fire on 13/06/2019 - 01:58

    • sam buster on 12/06/2019 - 22:08

      They did a big giveaway a couple of years ago. On that occasion you could choose from crew or v-necked t-shirts or women's singlets.

        6:52 now and the line is probably around 80 people.

        • jowie on 14/06/2019 - 07:00

          How long did you have to wait for? Did you have to register to limit one per person?

          • CircularIllusion on 14/06/2019 - 07:20

            @jowie: I got there at around 6:23. (I'm normally in the city at that time anyway.) No registration required.

  • first in line on 14/06/2019 - 06:42

    So it’s opened between 7-7. What’s stopping someone from claiming multiple heattech throughout the day? Do you need to register your details?

    • CircularIllusion on 14/06/2019 - 06:56
      +3

      So… are you currently living up to your name?

    • ilikedeals on 14/06/2019 - 07:04

      What's stopping people?
      1. It would be against the terms & conditions, don't be greedy and ruin it for everyone else waiting in line
      2. You would have to join the queue again, which will have an average of 100+ people at any time

      • forumninja on 14/06/2019 - 08:36

        At the queue length it feels like even those who claim multiple will only be able to claim 2 maximum!

    • forumninja on 14/06/2019 - 07:03

      It's on average about 30 seconds per person through the queue. Queue is around 200 now

      • ilikedeals on 14/06/2019 - 07:05

        Given the CBD location, I am assuming (hoping) they would have enough staff on site so that they dont pi*s people off with long wait times, turning away hundreds of potential customers..

        • forumninja on 14/06/2019 - 07:06

          It looks like they are having technical issues with the camera. Queue is stalled now

                        @notYuna: Yes, which means people now have to wait longer. It's around 60 seconds per person now. People joining the queue now will have to wait a few hours

    I just got my photo done. The card says you can use it on an item valued at $19.90 until 6pm 17th June.

    • ilikedeals on 14/06/2019 - 07:07
      +3

      That amount means you cannot claim any heattech garment (some up to $39 in store)

      Daily Telegraph reported that UNIQLO was giving away vouchers for any item from the heattech range :(

      • Kods on 14/06/2019 - 07:47

        Most heattech are under 19.90$ this week, only pants are above.

    For most people, it wouldn't make economic sense to queue. Assuming that the wait time is an hour. You're pretty much making $20/hr. I suspect most people in the queue are corporate types earning atleast $27/hr.

    You're better off going to work now, getting a Uniqlo garment at lunch and having the $5 double bacon & beef meal at maccas.

    At the end of the day, you'll still be $2 ahead of people who queued.

    • forumninja on 14/06/2019 - 08:18

      Even for people on minimum wage shouldn't be queuing at this point. At $19.90 off, assuming if you even pay tax at the highest tax bracket is around 2 hours of work.
