COMPANY: Polar Products Inc., Stow

PRODUCT: Polar Life Pod

The family-owned manufacturing company describes the Polar Pod as a portable, on-demand system that can be set up quickly for rapid immersion in cold water to treat athletes and people who have become overheated at sporting events, concerts and other outdoor activities.

Polar Life Pod inventor Mike Laycox, a licensed athletic trainer, former paramedic and a certified emergency room nurse, worked with the company in designing the product.

Polar Products said the Polar Life Pod is packaged in a gym bag for easy transportation and “is convenient for coaches and athletic trainers to have on their sidelines for rapidly cooling overheated athletes.”

It has adjustable straps to form the Life Pod to the athlete, a floating head support and a full length, two-way zipper. It is made out of a heavy duty PVC and is capable of fitting children as well as athletes up to 7' tall and weighing up to 400 pounds.

Polar Products says it has been manufacturing body cooling and therapy systems since 1984 for a variety of markets, including medical, recreational, industrial, government and the military.

Are You Up for It? The MS Fitness Challenge!

Polar Products is proud to introduce one of our newest partnerships in the battle against MS. 

Polar Products is the official cooling sponsor of the 

MS Fitness Challenge

The MS Fitness Challenge (MSFC) began with David and Kendra Lyons' desire to turn David's MS Bodybuilding Challenge into something more. The challenge was created to inspire others impacted by MS to stay strong - both emotionally and physically. Together, the Lyons invite others to help fight against MS through health and fitness.

Kendra and David Lyons, MS Fitness Challenge

The goal of the MS Fitness Challenge is to provide certified personal trainers to people with MS in order to educate them about the benefits of health and fitness training. Everything someone with MS would need to compete - trainers, supplements, supplies, support - is provided free from the non-profit.

Polar Products will be supplying cooling vests and accessories to David and the MS Fitness Challenge team for all of their cooling garment needs. 

"Polar Products is proud to partner with David and the MS Fitness Challenge. Our body cooling garments reduce the impact of MS heat-sensitivity and help people with multiple sclerosis stay active. Together with David and the MSFC, Polar hopes to continue to raise awareness for multiple sclerosis and improve the quality of life for people with MS heat-sensitivity." - Bill Graessle, President

Polar Products offers a wide variety of cooling garments for Pre-Cooling, Cooling During Exercise and Post-Cooling. Our Cool Comfort® evaporative hybrid garments are especially helpful during workouts!

AAN 2015 Part Two: Stop By & Say Hello!

Not only does Polar Products offer an extensive line of products to help cool the body, but we also offer cold and hot therapy wraps to alleviate the pain of headaches and migraines. Today is the first day of the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting. We'll be here until Thursday discussing how our hot and cold therapy products can help with migraines and headaches.

Cold and heat therapy can safely and effectively complement the pain relief methods prescribed by your healthcare professional.

Follow our banner! Polar Products is at Booth 1538 #AANAM

Polar Products offers many different hot and cold therapy options for managing migraines:

Circulating Water Head Cap

Our Active Ice® Hot/Cold Head Cap provides constant heat or cold therapy to the head by continuously circulating water from the cooler through the head cap, which has a snug, comfortable fit.

The Active Ice® Head Cap from Polar Products.

Here's what one customer has to say about our 

Active Ice® Head Cap:

"There is no doubt that the headache cap helps in the management of migraines/headaches. On a couple of occasions I was able to abort the headache by wearing the cap. Yesterday, I had a bad headache, so I took my prescription drugs in mid afternoon, knowing that I would have to follow it up with more stronger prescription drugs in the evening. Instead I wore the cap for an extended period while I watched television. I was able to almost completely annihilate the headache and did not take a second dose of prescription drugs - a definite success."

- Marc, from Phoenix, AZ

Cold/Hot Packs and Compression Wraps

Our reusable Soft Ice® Cold/Hot Packs are held securely in place by wraps to deliver cold or heat therapy to the affected area. The packs are made with a patented, non-toxic, all-natural formula that stays soft and flexible even when frozen!

Microwaveable Moist Heat Wraps

Polar's professional-quality Thera-Temp® moist heat therapy wraps offer deep-penetrating moist heat to targeted areas! Our therapeutic mineral beads collect and hold moisture from humidity in the air, and they never decay or develop an odor.

Our Thera-Temp® Moist Heat Cervical Wrap can also be worn around the head.
