Baseball Catches On

---

The Australian Baseball Federation is the latest elite sporting body to recognize the benefits of the revolutionary Arctic Heat Body Cooling Vest. The vests were introduced by ABF National Sports Medicine Manager, Bruce Rawson and the concept was quickly sanctioned by High Performance Manager Brett Pickett.

Arctic Heat delivered custom made vests for the under 17 AA side and the open men’s team within a week of the order being placed, a feat applauded by the Federation. The AA team has just competed in the World Championships in Mexico which were played in very hot conditions. The boys won the Bronze Medal in a fine performance and found the vests a great assistance in coping with the heat, aiding their performance and recovery.

A great advantage of the vests is the fact that the boys were able to wear them while playing, a feature unique to the Arctic Heat vest. The men’s side, current Olympic Silver Medalists, are now in Europe preparing for their World Championships and are looking forward to the using the vests to assist their performance in hot conditions.

Australia is the first Baseball side to use the vests so Bruce and Brett are to be congratulated on their proactive approach. This again shows Australia is a world leader in introducing innovative ideas to their athletes.
