Wearable cooling vest essential for outdoor work
A cooling vest that uses evaporative cooling technology helps lower overall body temperature in conditions of extreme heat or when performing strenuous tasks such as construction and outdoor activities.
Evateq vests utilise a polymer-based evaporation system to provide effective cooling. The fabric interlining absorbs and holds water, while hydrologic Evaprotec technology helps control the evaporation rate of the absorbed water, gradually releasing water to create a lasting cooling effect.
To activate the vest, it is soaked in water for one to two minutes. Excess water is rung out and the vest is worn over clothing to give the wearer cooling relief. The vest can be re-soaked as needed.
The cooling vest is designed to be effective in high-temperature conditions, whether indoors or outdoors, however, humid conditions render the cooling technology less effective, as evaporation occurs much less in humid conditions.
The EvaTeq HiViz-Cool vest is specifically designed for industrial and outdoor workers. It features a bright, high-visibility colour that enhances safety while providing long-lasting cooling. It is ideal for construction workers, road crews, and anyone working in hot, high-risk environments.
Features of the vest include:
- High visibility design: ensures that workers remain visible on job sites, enhancing safety
- Lightweight: ensures comfort for all-day wear
- Easy activation: no need for freezing, just soak in water
- Durable construction: designed to withstand rugged environments such as construction sites
- Sustainable cooling: no electricity or refrigeration required
- Portable and easy to store
Managing body temperature in hot conditions is essential for personal comfort, health, and productivity and ensuring that workers remain cool and comfortable can improve focus, efficiency, and overall productivity.
The vests are available in a range of designs, tailored to meet the needs of specific activities.
