Be cool (even when it's cold outside!)

Despite unusually frigid temperatures across much of the country this winter, sometimes people still experience heat-sensitivity as a result of medical conditions, medication, or simply being very hot-natured! 

For example, many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a temporary worsening of symptoms year-round when they get overheated from exercise or activities like cooking, working in hot indoor environments or simply being in excessive indoor heating. 

(even in the winter!!!)

Here's what our customers have to say:

“I use my Kool Max vest while cooking in the kitchen. 
Keeps me cool and cooking!” 
- Carol in West Paterson, NJ 

Kool Max® Zipper Vest

“I have MS and simple things like blowdrying my hair, washing a few dishes, or ironing clothes would make me miserable. My Polar cooling vest has changed my life!” 
- Pam in Houston, TX 

Kool Max® Zipper Vest

"I recently got diagnosed with MS and I am a very active person who lives in a very warm tropical environment. I love to cycle but the MS was making hard, until I got the Kool Max® Neck and Upper Spine Wrap. It does an amazing job at cooling me down and the symptoms that I experienced went down by half. Combined with riding early morning, I don't feel anything and I ride about 30 miles. I'm so happy with the product."
- Yajaira in Key West, FL

Kool Max® Neck and Upper Spine Wrap

"I'm a food server in a beautiful restaurant. I take tamoxifen for breast cancer. I wear the black vest to work instead of my uniform vest and its amazing. I feel refreshed and ready to go all day and night. I wish more people knew this product was available. I tell everybody and highly recommend it."
- Laura in New Jersey

Kool Max® Fashion Vest

"I bought this vest as a gift for my pastor. The polyester robe he wears for church is like an oven to him. I wanted to help him with a useful gift to express my appreciation to him for serving our community."
- Deborah in TX

NEW PRODUCT: Cool Flow® Hot/Cold System

The sun is shining and it's a balmy 40 degrees here in Northeast Ohio... we made it through last week's "Polar Vortex" but winter is far from over! We are proud to introduce a new heating vest manufactured by Polar Products...

One of the cooling technologies we manufacture is the Cool Flow® System, with circulates water throughout insulated tubing sewn in a vest or seat cushion. This system is used by surgeons and industrial workers nationwide. 

We can customize our products to meet many unique needs, so when Vanderbilt University contacted us for a heating vest system for their research studies, we designed and manufactured the Cool Flow® Hot/Cold Vest System!


Cool Flow® Hot/Cold Vest System

The Cool Flow® Hot/Cold System delivers constant heating OR cooling by continuously circulating water from the cooler through over 50 feet of insulated lines built into the lightweight vest.

Easy to reuse time and time again; simply add ice and water to the cooler to cool down, or turn on the heating element to warm up to 110° F!



Cool Flow® Hot/Cold System(#CFHCS) includes:
  • Comfortable, lightweight vest of your choice, each with built in insulated water lines
  • Water reservoir
  • 5 feet of insulated water lines from the cooler (4 foot extensions also available)
  • High-flow, dry, quick disconnect couplings allow freedom of
    movement if needed.
  • Grounded transformer which plugs into a standard 120v outlet (Lithium Ion Battery Pack also available)
  • Convenient switch to turn heat on or off

Several vest styles from which to choose:

HEAVY-DUTY 

Thicker walled tubing and a higher flow rate for heavier use under protective clothing. 

ADJUSTABLE

Adjustable straps are perfect to customize the fit either for individuals or use by multiple people.
      
Performance material has a small amount of stretch to allow for a comfortable, slim fit.


Now you can stay warm OR cool with one vest!
