Our BodyCool Hybrid PCM Cooling vest combines the best of two cooling technologies: Phase Change cooling and H2O Evaporation. This makes the Hybrid vest the most versatile cooling vest under all circumstances.
You can use it as a phase change cooling vest by activating the PCM packs in a fridge or freezer. Alternatively you can soak the vest in water, squeeze out the excess water and use it as a light and easy to wear H2O evaporation vest. For the ultimate cooling, simply combine both PCM cooling and water evaporation.
How does it work?
-
H2O Evaporation
Soak the vest (without the inserts) in tap water for 2 minutes, gently squeeze out any excess water and your vest is ready to wear. Instantly creating evaporative cooling for up to 8 hours, depending on the ambient temperature, humidity and airflow. The cooling is based on the evaporation process of the available water in the vest: Energy is consumed and a chill effect is created. The Hybrid vest cools your body exactly the same way as your body cools itself… through evaporation. We simply supercharge this natural cooling process.
Keep in mind that when using the Hybrid vest’s evaporation function, some airflow and a low/average humidity is required. It’s also recommended not to wear (thick) clothing over the vest. -
PCM Cooling
Each vest comes with 4 PCM packs which can be quickly activated in your fridge, freezer or in ice water and can be re-used over and over again. Once activated, the PCM maintains a steady and low temperature for a long time, providing comfortable cooling relief.
When using the vest’s PCM function, you don’t need airflow. PCM cooling works under thick clothing and in high humid environments.
