By natural evaporation the vest provides up to 72 hours (depending on humidity) of cooling.

Evaporative cooling vests work best in an environment with a low to medium humidity. It is important to note that no clothing can be worn over this cooling vest, as the evaporation of the cooling vest cannot function then.

How a cooling vest works: cooling vests with cooling elements

How does a cooling vest with cooling elements work? The cooling vest cools by means of the coolpacs placed in the cooling vest. These coolpacs are available separately in three different types (21 degrees, 24 degrees or 29 degrees).

The coolpacs contain a liquid that is first cooled in, for example, the refrigerator. The coolpacs are ready for use when the liquid has solidified and should be replaced when the liquid is liquid again. Of course, the coolpacs are reusable.

Cooling vests with cooling elements are ideally suited for very hot (work) situations. Unlike the other types of cooling vests, this cooling vest is can be used under (work) clothes. Cooling vests with cooling elements provide stable cooling to the body.
