Cooling vest - Protect yourself from the heat
We protect ourselves from cold and rain, so why not also from heat. The cooling vest, developed for professionals in collaboration with medical institutions, is a solution for hot working conditions.
What happens when your body fights the heat?
Sweaty skin and perspiration, discomfort, fatigue, increased heart rate and breathing. These are usually the first symptoms as the body fights against the heat. If the heat continues, symptoms may also include a loss of concentration, slowed reaction time, headache, and dizziness, even confusion. In the worst case, heat stress can lead to exhaustion, cramps, or stroke.
The cooling vest prevents heat stress
Excessive heat is a danger to occupational safety and health and limits physical functions, work ability, and productivity. Temperatures of 24–26°C already reduce work capacity and productivity. At temperatures of 33–34°C, a person working at a moderate work rate loses 50% of their work capacity. Heat is particularly dangerous in physically demanding tasks.
The cooling vest helps to avoid symptoms of heat stress. It keeps you comfortably cool, reduces sweating, and lowers heart rate and body temperature. At the same time, concentration and performance improve. The cooling vest also speeds up recovery.
Applications
Heat, uniforms, protective suits, and heavy gear expose you to heat stress. The cooling vest is ideal for wearing under uniforms for the army, police, and security work. It also provides relief under healthcare protective clothing, for example, in operating rooms, radiology, infectious disease wards, or during sample collection.
The cooling vest is also suitable for leisure activities from motorcycling to sports. In sports, for example, F1 drivers, Tour de France cyclists, football players, and various Olympic athletes use the cooling vest either during performance or for recovery.
The cooling vest is easy to use
The cooling vest can already be cooled at room temperature below 18°C. A refrigerator speeds up the cooling if you need the vest back in use quickly. Wear an undergarment beneath the vest and preferably an outer garment over it. The vest stays cool for 1–4 hours. A vest cooled in the freezer stays cool longer, but it should be allowed to warm up for at least 5 minutes before wearing.
The vest is easy to clean. You only need water or a disinfectant and a cleaning cloth.
