How to beat the heat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maintaining a neutral body temperature during the summer months prevents ailments like heat stroke and exhaustion. Cooling vests do just this and serve as long-lasting temperature regulators. There are a few different types of cooling vests available, and each one offers relief from the heat.<\/p>

Phase change cooling vests<\/h2>\n

These vests use special ice packs with a higher freezing point inserted into compartments inside the vest. The ice packs take much longer to thaw, keeping you cool for an extended period.<\/p>\n

Ice pack cooling vests<\/h2>\n

Similar to phase change cooling vests, these vests use regular ice packs on the interior. They are traditionally lightweight and relieve heat without adding more weight to you.<\/p>\n

Evaporative cooling vests<\/h2>\n

The materials used on evaporative cooling vests are designed to soak up water at high speed. The water retained will slowly evaporate throughout use, and the vest just needs to soak in ice water to be replenished.<\/p>\n

Circulatory cooling vests<\/h2>\n

Similar to a human\u2019s circulatory system, these vests have a system of tubes placed all over the vest. The tubes are filled with cold water that flows through the connected network. Once the water becomes warm after passing through every tube, its temperature is restored in a cooling reservoir. The cycle continues throughout use.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n

Q. Do cooling vests work in environments with high humidity?<\/h3>\n

A.<\/strong> It depends on the type of cooling vest. An evaporative cooling vest will not perform as well in humid heat as it would in\u00a0dry heat because the water absorbed in the vest can become hotter faster in this climate. An ice pack cooling vest might perform for longer periods of time in humidity.<\/p>\n

Q. Can I wash my cooling vest?<\/h3>\n

A. <\/strong>Consider this when purchasing your cooling vest. Some brands vary in material and have to receive special care when cleaning. Review the cleaning instructions on the inside of your cooling vest or upon purchase.<\/p>\n
