 Heat-Activated PhaseCore Cooling Products absorb heat and provide a long lasting cooling effect that will not overcool the body. The gentle cooling effect of PhaseCore will help to increase work productivity while reducing heat related illness.
 PhaseCore Highlights:
• Easy to Use and Maintain
• Recharges at Room Temperature
• Non-Toxic and Non-Flammable
• Safe to Use on Body
Standard Cooling Vests are a great solution to reduce and combat heat stress. Standard Cooling Vests use PhaseCore, a phase change material (PCM), to provide a cooling effect to the body’s core by absorbing body heat. The Standard Cooling Vest has a two-piece, over the shoulder design that makes it extremely comfortable when worn under another vest or when sitting.

Additional Information
How does it work?
Standard Cooling Vests are fitted with a set of 16 - PhaseCore 28 or PhaseCore 32 elements, which have an activation point of 82.4°F (28°C) or 89.6°F (32°C), respectively. When the body temperature rises above this point, the elements begin to absorb body heat. When heat is absorbed, the PhaseCore elements provide a comfortable and soothing cooling effect. Standard Cooling Vests hold PhaseCore elements close to the body allowing them to absorb heat most effectively.
Is it effective?
Tests completed in a hot environment have proven that PhaseCore technology is effective in helping to combat the rise in a person’s body surface temperature when in a hot environment. Standard Cooling Vests are effective for up to 3 hours, actual time varies based on physical activity, body type, and the environmental conditions.
How does it recharge?
Standard Cooling Vests can be recharged by storing the PhaseCore elements in an environment less than the activation point. PhaseCore elements can be recharged more quickly in colder environments. Refrigeration is not required, but will make the recharge period shorter. PhaseCore elements are completely recharged when they return to a solid state. PhaseCore is simple, safe, and reusable.
