Cooltech launches new cooling sportswear items
California-based Cooltech Marketing has launched three new sportswear garments designed to keep wearers cool.
Its Cooling Tee, Cooling Sports Bra, and Cooling Cami contain lightweight, controlled temperature cool packs that the company believes will benefit amateur and professional athletes alike. They could also be used by Multiple Sclerosis sufferers, women experiencing hot flushes during the menopause, and people that are exposed or vulnerable to heat stress.
According to the company, the garments are made from a moisture-wicking, highly breathable stretch fabric. They can be worn either as underwear or as outer garments. Each item contains inside pockets—one running horizontally across the chest and one vertically down the spine—into which cool packs are inserted. The non-toxic, non-flammable formula contained in the polymer cool packs, weighing 15 ounces in the women's garments and 27.6 ounces in the Cooling Tee, is blended to set and hold a 58°F (14°C) temperature.
The packs can be placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or immersed in ice water for 15 minutes. They stay cool for more than two hours.
