Cooling Comfort
Select the cooling pack that best fits your workday. Kool Max® frozen water-based packs deliver the highest level of cooling energy and require access to a freezer. Cool58® phase change packs freeze solid at a comfortable 58°F and can be activated in a freezer, refrigerator, or bucket of ice water, giving you more flexibility in the field. Both packs are non-toxic, non-flammable, and fully reusable making them a safe cooling solution you can count on.
A Perfect Fit, Every Time
A proper fit is essential for effective cooling. Adjustable Velcro® straps at the chest, waist, and shoulders let you dial in a secure, comfortable, and fully customized fit. Once sized, the zipper-pull front makes it quick and simple to put on and take off every time. The clean, logo-free design means it can be worn comfortably over or under clothing without drawing attention, keeping your look professional in any work setting.
Targeted Cooling Where it Counts
Cooling packs sit inside insulated interior pockets lined with soft, all-cotton fabric to protect the skin. The insulated outer composite layer directs cooling energy toward the body for targeted, efficient relief. You can also fine-tune your comfort level by adjusting the number of packs used or the layers worn beneath the vest.

Instructions
Kool Max® cooling packs must be frozen in a freezer until solid. Water-based and offering the highest level of cooling energy, these packs require more energy to activate than Cool58® packs but deliver greater and longer-lasting cooling power in return.
Cool58® cooling packs freeze solid at a moderate and comfortable 58° Fahrenheit, so they won't feel uncomfortably cold against the body. Packs can be activated without a freezer — simply submerge in ice water for up to 20 minutes, place in a refrigerator, or freeze for a quick and easy cool-down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Banox and Nomex?
Banox™ is flame retardant treated cotton. The treatment is good for 20-25 washes and then the resistance to fire is significantly diminished. This fabric is heavier than Nomex™ and is more durable than Nomex™.
Nomex™ is a fabric that is treated by a single step flame retarding process that will last the life of the garment and does not reduce the wear life of the fabric. The Nomex™ is roughly 60% of the weight of the Banox™ and is a bit less durable fabric.
How long does the cooling effect last for pack-based vests?
The reusable Cool58® packs deliver comfortable cooling for up to 2 to 3 hours. The Kool Max® packs deliver comfortable cooling for up to 3 to 4 hours.
Please note: cooling times are estimates and will vary depending on climate, body metabolism, and activity level.
