Evaporative Cooling Vests
These use the natural effect of evaporation to cool you down. When these vests are placed into water the specially made non-toxic material absorbs hundreds of times its weight in water. This stored water is then slowly released. In hot conditions, this water will start to evaporate. As it does, the heat from the wearer is transferred into the air helping to reduce your temperature.
- Light weight.
- Easy to use throughout the day. If it dries out all you have to do is submerge into water for hours more cooling.
- No electricity is required making them perfect for people on the move.
- The most affordable form of cooling vest.
How does it work?
- Garments are made of a special fabric which holds the cooling energy for an extended period of time.
- Water causes a naturally cooling effect as it evaporates.
- Simply submerse in water for 1 to 3 minutes, or until garment reaches the desired level of hydration.
- Gently wring out excess water and it's ready to wear! No freezers or cold packs necessary.
- Once activated, the vest will provide many hours of cooling relief in low-humidity climates.

Phase Changing Vests
These non-toxic vests have a large pocket front and back in which a refrigerated, frozen, water or air conditioned cooled pack can be inserted. This flexible cooled pack will then help reduce the wearers’ temperature for up to 4 hours. These inserts can be refrozen as and when necessary. Each vest comes with one set of packs. For all day cooling we suggest ordering extra packs which can be kept in a freezer or cooler until it is necessary to exchange them.
- Hard wearing.
- Works in high humidity.
- Each cool pack can be reused.
- Does not produce condensation.
- Typically provides a cooler temperature than evaporative cooling vests.
