Sport cooling vest

What types of cooling vests are there?

We distinguish three types of cooling vests. Not all of them are suitable as sports cooling vests. Other situations, such as working in very hot conditions where it is mandatory to wear work clothes over the cooling vest, mean that a different type of cooling vest is more suitable.

The three types of cooling vests are:

  1. Cooling vests with evaporation technology
  2. Cooling vests with cooling elements
  3. Cooling vests with immersion technology


The cooling vest with cooling elements is the only cooling vest where (work) clothes over the vest can be worn.

Both the other two types of cooling vests work by evaporation, so it is not possible to wear clothing over the cooling vest.

Which cooling vest is a suitable sports cooling vest?

During exercise, there is no need to wear clothing over the cooling vest. In theory, why both the cooling vest with the evaporation technique and the cooling vest with immersion technique would be suitable.

In practice, however, we recommend the cooling vest with immersion technology. This is because this cooling vest has the least weight and moves most flexibly with the body.

Sports cooling vest 'Bodycool Basic by Inuteq'

We recommend the Bodycool Basic from the Inuteq brand as the best cooling vest for when exercising. This cooling vest is easy to use and lightweight.

The Bodycool Basic cools the body by up to 15 degrees compared to ambient temperature. With up to eight hours of active operation, this cooling vest is also suitable for the longer moments of exertion.

Of course, this cooling vest is not only suitable for sports. In practice, it is used during work, leisure and sports.

This sports cooling vest works by evaporation. Air currents along the body and the cooling vest provide the cooling effect. The vest is easily activated by immersing it in (cold) water and then squeezing it out thoroughly.

  3. Wipe the vest with a cloth, as the clothes will not get wet while wearing the vest.

Points of attention during use

It is important to have a well-fitting cooling vest. The more space there is between the body and the vest, the less effect the cooling effect will have. In practice, we therefore often see that the cooling vest is ordered one size smaller than the clothing size.

Another important consideration is drying the cooling vest after it has been washed in the washing machine. The cooling vest should not be tumble-dried. Therefore, always use a clothes hanger and hang the cardigan (in the sun, for example).
