Product Description

Imagine a personal cooling system that maintains a comfortable *5º F temperature. That's the technology behind the phase change material that was developed for our Cooling Vests' Cool Packs. Until now, the only answer to heat stress was to wear an ice- or gel-cooled vest. That meant having a freezing cold pack against your body*-too cold to be comfortable. To alleviate the discomfort, undergarments were needed as a barrier, defeating the very purpose of the vest. With phase change material technology, you'll stay cool and comfortable at a temperature that feels natural to your skin and body. So comfortable, in fact, that our products can be worn directly against your skin for optimal cooling *- without the fear of frostbite! Washable, nonshrink outer shell made from Supplex®, fire-retardant Banox®or Poly Cotton Twill is the first layer of shielding from ambient heat. Insulating layer minimizes the absorption of ambient heat by the phase change material cooling packs. Using phase change material technology, the Cool Packs literally pull heat from the body, while maintaining a comfortable temperature of *5ºF. The packs expand to resist bursting, absorb shock, and maintain mobility. The cooling vests are designed to hold the Cool Packs securely in place, while absorbing moisture away from the wearer. This allows maximum heat transfer between the phase change cooling packs and the body. The semisolid thermal energy storage material (phase change material) in the high-quality, leak-proof Cool Packs are designed to chill to *5º F. Once the material phases solid, it can be placed directly against your skin and used to cool the body. The material actually absorbs heat generated by the body. As the phase change cooling pack absorbs heat, it will begin to phase change from a solid to a liquid. Because of the constant temperature behavior of phase change material technology, the Cool Packs maintain *5ºF during the transit http://xxxxx
