CryoVest Ice Vests

CryoVest is a high performance cooling vest designed for workers, sportsmen that are exposed to extreme heat sources and face health related issues linked in thermal stress.

The CryoVest Advantage

The icepacks are removable to minimise freezer space and the vest has been designed to remain dry throughout the cooling period. Cryovest offers slow release cooling and the design maximises the contact with the body. Other designs require the whole vest to be placed in the freezer.  As a result the vest becomes wet when removed and quickly becomes smelly and mouldy.  Freezer space during sporting competitions is often at a premium with athletes having very little access to freezer space in hotels etc.

Cryovest features:

• Made up of removable cold packs
• Remains dry throughout the therapy
• Upto 2 hours of cooling
• The long-lasting, non-aggressive cold allows direct skin contact with no risk of cryo burns
• Lightweight (less than 2 kilos, the lightest in the market)
• Comfortable with lumbar and dorsal support (100 mm elastic straps)
• Good weight distribution for improved comfort, and it is possible to change the weight of the vest according to the specific areas to cool.
• Ergonomic: easy to put on, to adjust rapidly, and doesn’t impede movements during exercise.

Physical benefits of the CryoVest:

Pre-cooling

• Maintains a constant heart rate
• Stabilizes hydration
• Improved energy efficiency (+ 15.8%)

Post-cooling

• Stabilizes the heart rate
• Gain of 7 BPM after 20 minutes
• Restores hydration faster

CryoVest incorporates proprietary ‘First + Ice Technology’ thermo regulation:

• Long duration cooling (approx 2 hours).
• Non-aggressive (temperature between 1 ° and 5 ° C), no risk of cryo burns.
• Remains flexible even when cold.
• Non-toxic
• Lightweight: +/- 180 grams for sizes 15 x 15 cm and +/- 360 grams for sizes 15 x 30 cm

Ice packs have a life time of 60-100 optimal uses (corresponding up to 200 usage hours). When the ice packs start becoming rigid, they have to be replaced.
