How does it work?

XPC Cooling Vests are fitted with a set of 21 – PhaseCore 28 elements, which have an activation point of 82.4°F (28°C). When the body temperature rises above this point, the elements begin to absorb body heat. When heat is absorbed, the PhaseCore elements provide a comfortable and soothing cooling effect. XPC Cooling Vests hold PhaseCore elements close to the body allowing them to absorb heat most effectively.

Is it effective?

Tests completed in a hot environment showed that an individual wearing a XPC Cooling Vest with PhaseCore 28 experienced only a 3.6°F (2°C) rise in body surface temperature while an individual without a XPC Cooling Vest experienced a 12.6°F (7°C) rise in body surface temperature. XPC Cooling Vests are effective for up to 4 hours, actual time varies based on physical activity, body type, and the environmental conditions.

How does it recharge?

XPC Cooling Vests can be recharged by storing the PhaseCore elements in an environment less than the activation point. PhaseCore elements can be recharged more quickly in colder environments. Refrigeration is not required, but will make the recharge period shorter. PhaseCore elements are completely recharged when they return to a solid state. PhaseCore is simple, safe, and reusable.

Chest Size

The XPC Cooling Vest is a One-Size fits most. The vest fits chest widths 33 to 50 inches.

Stay cool!
July 12, 2020
I am pleased with the cooling vest. I have used it while walking in the Missouri summer heat. I have MS, and the heat usually exhausts me. Wearing the vest has allowed me to get some exercise without overheating.
Pros
  • The vest keeps my body cool while I?m outside in the heat.
Cons
  • The vest is heavier than I expected.
