They are not just the traditional cooling packs you use in your cool box, these are way better! These cool packs use renewable bio-based Phase Change Material (PCM) cooling technology. It’s non-toxic, 100% biodegradable, 20% lighter than water, and durable. You can keep your body cool without the risk of frostbite and they don’t produce condensation.
There are 3 different temperature inserts to choose from: 70F, 84F, and 99F)
The PCM can be activated in different ways, by putting it in ice water or in a freezer or refrigerator. They can also be activated by exposing them to any ambient temperature lower than
- 66F with the Cool pack 70F insert
- 79F with the Cool pack 84F insert
- 93F with the Cool pack 99F insert
Once the PCM has reached its core temperature, it will stay at that temperature for hours. This way you can still enjoy riding on a hot summer day, even when standing at a traffic light.
Over Macna
Dutch Design: Our country is known for it abroad: Dutch Design. What does that actually mean? Minimalist, innovative, unconventional and often with a touch of humor - these are terms that are often used. The same could be said about Macna's product design. Throw functionality, usability and security into the mix and you have the recipe for the philosophy! In the R&D department, the designers work like a well-oiled machine, looking for the balance between technology and fashion, with the aim of improving your motorcycle ride. Rumor has it that they don't even have office chairs, but do their job from the saddle of the motorcycle. To be honest, that's not even far-fetched: at several points during the design process, the computers are shut down and the engines started. Time to test!
How it started: About 30 years ago they were experimenting with gloves and came up with a new production method to make gloves more affordable and waterproof. These gloves became a success the start of something beautiful! Not long after, they launched their first jacket. It didn't look in any way like the Macna jackets you see today, but it did have the razor-sharp price/quality ratio that they still strive for today. Since then, they have always paid a lot of attention to innovation in motorcycle clothing. Some concepts were grand, others just details - but always designed to contribute to a better driving experience. To name a few: the Sandwich System, Vision Vest, Summer Comfort System, Twin Shell, Night Eye. and even as the brand grows worldwide, they will always keep working on this!
