The lightweight vest, weighing about 1kg when fully activated, can be used pre event, during event or post event and has been lauded by all who have worn it.
The vest works by cooling skin temperature thus stabilizing core temperature allowing athletes to compete at their optimum level for much longer periods. The vest can be used ice, cold or cool whatever suits the athlete best and because the vest can be re-cooled in 2-3 minutes and is no more bulky than a singlet can be used at any time during events.
