Evaporative cooling vests use highly absorbent fabric that is designed to rapidly absorb cool water when soaked in it. The vest is also available with a zipper, which may have been more secure, though also potentially more constricting.

That being said, because they only use evaporation to cool they can only provide about as much cooling as being wet would provide. Improved performances in these studies involved running a fixed distance with a lower metabolic cost or running a fixed speed for a longer time after precooling. Just soak it in water, gently squeeze out excess water, snap it 3 times to activate, and you’re all set. Many of these authors also noted reduced heart rates while the subjects were running at equal speeds.The Bodycool Hybrid cooling vest is created for multiple sport purposes and commonly used as pre-post cooling vest by athletes, in combination with our INUTEQ-PAC® bio-based PCM packs. The sporty INUTEQ-H2O® Bodycool Speed CoolOver evaporative cooling vest can be worn on multiple occasions, from work to sport activities and leisure. In our study, 4 women had increases of more than 3°C in Tc from the initial reading to the postrace reading. The very famous and patented INUTEQ-PAC® 100% biobased PCM CoolOver, manufactured in the Netherlands, offers a constant cooling of 15C / 59F and used by many elite athletes / teams as pre-post cooling vest. Subjects were assigned to a cooling (CL) or control group and assigned a number based upon times from a preseason time trial, as follows: subject 1 (control), subject 2 (CL), subject 3 (CL), subject 4 (control), and so on.

While certain people rave about the vest (more on that coming up), I identify with one reviewer, who wrote: “Not made for a cuvacious [sic] woman. Using technologies and materials designed to prevent heat stress, this vest keeps the body at an ideal temperature, allowing the wearer to work in comfort, even in the hottest and most humid of weather. The vest has become an essential piece of equipment for those seeking to maximize their performance, quality of life and those who are required to operate in high temperatures for extended periods of time.
