How To Keep Cool In Summer by Brian Fogarty

2. Phase change vests these vests use packs that you

freeze. The pack is filled with a gel made of Hexadecane.

The pack melts at 18 degrees. The high melting point is

very effective at keeping your body temperature at a

natural level. These vests are very effective indoors and

outdoors. They do not really on evaporation to keep you

cool so are fine to wear under clothes. You will stay dry.

The only problems with these vests is that they are

expensive $180 plus. In addition to this you will need two

or three sets of packs to get you through the day

costing around $100 plus per set. Phasechange vests

3. Personal Ice Cooling System (PICS) are the most

effective by far. They are also the most expensive about

$1800. They work by pumping iced water around a vest

using a small pump. The pump is powered with rechargeable

batteries. The water is cooled by ice packs. One of the

advantages is that it uses regular ice in packs and as long

as you can find a freezer or ice your in business.

These vests will keep you cool in any conditions. They are

even used by the military. They are suited mainly for

working enviroments in the heat. They require a type of

back pack of tobe worn. This system weighs of approx 8lb.

They are very effective though at keeping you cool in the

heat. (PICS) available at

4. Cooling bandanas and neck ties use highly

absorptive polymers that are sewn inside neckties and

bandanas. When soaked in water they absorb water and

swell up. They are then worn and help a little to keep you

cool. They use evaporative cooling. They can also be

placed in the refrigerator before use for added cooling.

5. Lastly guys as simple as it may seem try to have plenty

of cold water handy. If you drink water before you start to

become dehydrated you feel much better.
