Water Activated Cooling
When you need relief from the heat but can't carry ice, plug in a unit, or haul a heavy system around, Cool Comfort® is the answer. Our water-activated cooling products use an innovative evaporative gel technology that activates with a simple soak in cold water, then keeps you cool for hours through evaporation as you move through your day.
No ice. No power. No complicated setup. Just soak, put it on, and go.
Cool Comfort® is a great fit for outdoor work, sports and recreation, casual everyday wear, heat-sensitive medical conditions, and anyone who wants reliable, lightweight cooling they can take anywhere.
Simple Technology. Real Results.
Cool Comfort® products are built around a specialized gel that absorbs and holds water, then releases it gradually as it evaporates against your skin. That evaporation draws heat away from your body, keeping your core temperature down. Evaporative cooling works best in dry or low-humidity conditions, where moisture can escape freely from the fabric. In very humid climates, performance will be reduced.
For an extra boost of cooling, Cool Comfort® products can also be pre-chilled in a refrigerator or freezer before use, delivering direct cool contact in addition to evaporative cooling. This dual-mode performance is why we call it a hybrid cooling technology.
Cooling duration varies by temperature, humidity, and activity level, but in most conditions products stay active for several hours before needing to be re-soaked. Re-soaking takes just minutes, making it easy to refresh and keep going.
