Description
The Chill-Its 6665 Evaporative Cooling Vest is made with an advanced polymer-embedded fabric to provide workers with immediate core cooling relief from the heat. This lightweight cooling vest is made of a comfortable and durable quilted nylon exterior with mesh side panels for ventilation and stretch. For best results, wear this body cooling vest over a t-shirt. A water-repellent liner keeps the interior of the vest as dry as possible when activated, though wearers should expect to feel some dampness/wetness. Heat-related illness continuously ranks among the top causes of worksite accidents and fatalities. Evaporative cooling technologies such as embedded polymers are a simple, effective and comfortable solution for heat stress prevention. Similar to how sweat cools the body, evaporative technologies use an external water source to draw heat away—helping to regulate body temperature while providing cool relief. When activated, this cooling safety vest is comfortable and refreshing for even the hottest days of the year.
