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!

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.
