product questions
Are there different sizes?
No, the Polar Life Pod is designed to be adjusted for any size individual, up to approximately 7 feet tall or 400 lbs.
Does it fit smaller people or children?
Yes, the bottom of the Polar Life Pod® can be folded under before being filled with water and the straps help it adjust to fit almost any body size.
How much water is required?
30 to 40 gallons is recommended depending on the individual's size. However, A recent study by Dr. Kevin Miller of Texas State University resulted in 'ideal' cooling rates with as little as 20 gallons of water. Larger individuals will require more ice water for cooling and cooling will be faster with the 30-50 gallon recommendation.
How should I carry the water?
We recommend bringing the ice water in standard 10-gallon Gatorade type containers, or other coolers.
What temperature should the water be?
The water should be under 59°F.
