6 Person Cooling System

It's summer and Polar is busy! Shannon (and future baby Liam) just finished building a 6 person CoolFlow active cooling system for a Nevada fire department. Behind her is our Active Therapy Systems ready to be boxed and shipped. 

The Emergency First Responder Rehab Cooling Unit is quick to set up and may be used anywhere First Responders are exposed to intense heat or are at risk for heat fatigue and heat-related illness. The cooling rehab system circulates ice cold water from a cooling reservoir to 1 to 6 lightweight individual cooling vests. This effective system cools responders during breaks or after action significantly faster than they can regulate an elevated core temperature on their own.

Top 10 Tips for Staying Cool

Be cool and stay safe in the summer heat. Watch for signs of heat related illness, rest in the shade as needed, stay hydrated... and be prepared with Polar Products cooling vests and accessories!

Following are our “Top Ten” suggestions to beat the heat in the summertime:

1. Wear Light Clothing.

Wear light colors, which will absorb less heat from the sun. Loose fitting, lightweight cotton clothing will wick away moisture and improve comfort. Our Kool Max® and Cool58™ cooling vests are constructed of 100% cotton twill.

Gardening Kit

2. Seek Shade. 

Avoid direct sunlight! When outside, wear a wide-brimmed hat, like our Cool Comfort® Straw Hat, and hang out in the shade when you can. Close window shades in the middle of the day to help keep your home cooler.

3. Chill in the A.C. 

Spend time in air-conditioned places like libraries, theaters or the mall.

4. Increase Hydration. 

Combat dehydration by increasing your fluid intake and drinking a lot of water. Keep plastic bottles of water in the freezer and grab one when you are ready to go outside. As the ice melts, you will have a supply of cold water with you!

5. Avoid Extreme Heat. 

Schedule your appointments and activities in the early morning or later in the evening to take advantage of cooler times.

6. Cool Water. 

Cool showers or baths can be very satisfying when your body temperature is elevated. Fill a spray bottle with water and keep it in the refrigerator for a quick refreshing spray.

7. Exercise Wisely. 

Practice moderation and don’t overexert yourself. Scale back when needed. Pre-cooling, post-cooling and cooling during the exercise with our CoolFit® Kit may help!

8. Go Swimming. 

Swimming is a great low impact, comfortable exercise.

9. Get a Cool Night’s Sleep. 

Use a fan, dehumidifier or A.C. at night. Sleeping with our Soft Ice® Cooling Pillow Case can increase comfort as well.

10. Wear Cooling Garments! 

Wearing cooling garments can have significant impact in helping you to get outside and stay active in the summer heat. Polar offers a very diverse line of cooling vests and accessories.

Wet Hot American Summer

(... and we're not just talking about the comedy from 2001!)
 

WET and HOT definitely describe conditions across the nation this season.

TRAVEL 

Last week, the temperatures in Death Valley shattered records when the mercury hit 128 degrees - that Saturday was the hottest June day anywhere in the country. Authorities were concerned about tourists who were not used to the desert heat, particularly those traveling to destinations such as Las Vegas, where the high was 117 degrees.

Our Cool Comfort® hybrid is great line of cooling garments for travel. The vests and accessories are lightweight and pack easily in a carry-on with no cooling packs to slow you down in the security lines.

Cool Comfort® Hybrid Performance Vest

Cool Comfort® is especially ideal for low humidity climates like the desert southwest! Simply activate the garment in water and it will provide a naturally cooling effect as the water evaporates. For additional cooling, the vest can also be chilled or frozen in a refrigerator or freezer for up to two hours of relief in any climate.

FITNESS

Cool Comfort® is also an excellent choice for running, cycling and other activities. With triple digit heat in areas like Southern California, walking and exercising in the early morning is a good plan.

REST

On those hot evenings in Arizona, even the setting sun didn't bring relief... temperatures were still in the 90's throughout the night! Our Soft Ice® Cooling Pillowcase offers comfortable cooling for your head while you sleep.
