Some like it soft, some like it COLD!

We love hearing what customers think about our products, and we've gotten a lot of great feedback about our fashion cooling scarves:

Fashion Cooling Scarf in Turquoise Paisley

"I love this scarf! I was diagnosed with MS last summer 

and am very sensitive to heat so this scarf has been a lifesaver. "

"On these hot summer days, it's great to cool 
the head along with the rest of the body."

"It's a very pretty color blue." 

"MS Awareness" Fashion Cooling Scarf in Blue Paisley

"I like to sometimes make the knot pretty 

and other times I just tie it tight to my neck 

so the ice is right on my skin all around. 

I like that you can chose if it'll be dressy or sporty."

"Really loved the ease of use and 
the ability of it it to blend in with the outfit." 

"Practical, easy to store. Love the color."

"MS Awareness" Fashion Cooling Scarf in Blue Paisley

"Love the print. Nice fabric. Love the scarf. Easy to use." 

"It gives me back my freedom to 

go outside with family and friends!"

"I bought the orange one and really like 
the color and design a lot." 

"MS Awareness" Fashion Cooling Scarf in Orange Paisley

"My new scarves make the midwest summers 

and this year's unusual heat bearable 
and being outside fun again!!"

"I wear it to work and it helps me make it through the day."

So we listened when some customers told us,  

"I just wish the gel packs stayed cooler longer."

"Like one of the other reviewers, it sure would be nice if it lasted longer, but it came with extra ice packs so that helps. The ice packs are soft, not firm, so I'm sure that's one reason why it does not last as long."

We previously offered the scarves with a set of our Quick Cool™ Packs, which stay soft and flexible for comfortable, short-term cooling for up to 45 minutes. 

Quick Cool™ Packs

Many people love that the packs are soft and comfortable around the neck... but others want that cooling to last for hours!  

Our solution:

Fashion Cooling Scarves now include an extra set of our bestselling Kool Max® Cooling Packs along with a set of Quick Cool™ Packs!

Kool Max® Cooling Packs

Kool Max® water-based packs freeze solid in the freezer and offer extended cooling for up to 2 hours. With both sets of cooling packs, YOU can choose which works best for you! 

 Here's what customers say about the 

fashion scarves with the Kool Max® packs:

The cool aspect always works for two hours 

or so even in humid and hot weather.

Love the scarf and it really helps to keep my body temp. down in the heat, pretty as well, great for when I don't need the vest but still need a little help with keeping cool, MS is a all about managing and this helps me manage quite well!! :)

Fashion Cooling Scarf in Black Print

Fashion Scarves are $35 and include two 3" x 8" Quick Cool™ Packs, two 3" x 9"Kool Max® Packs, and one 100% cotton scarf!

The boss LOVES tomatoes, so we have two raised beds outside the office dedicated to all varieties of tomatoes, along with cucumbers, squash, hot peppers, watermelon, muskmelon and sunflowers.

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.

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.

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.
