IZI bodycooling Hydrogel-05 cooling vest black 25º-40º

An ode to the Hydrogel-05 cooling vest

A body cooler

And cool it does. Not 5 minutes. Not 5 hours. No, a solid 72 hours of cooling. With this vest you have to sweat a lot less, because the vest already does that for you.

Why the Hydrogel-05 cooling vest?

Ideal for 25 to 40 degrees

Looking for some extra cooling on days when the temperature is on the tropical side? Then consider a cooling solution like the Hydrogel-05 cooling vest. This vest works ideally at temperatures between 25 and 40 degrees and up to a humidity of 90%.

The Hydrogel-05 is a cooling vest that works based on the evaporation of water. Thanks to this technology, the vest provides up to 72 hours of cooling. For somewhat more intense cooling you can also put the vest in the freezer (do not fold it!), after which it works for around 2 hours and then switches over to the evaporation method.

Hydrogel cooling

The cooling vest contains small compartments filled with gel. When the vest is submerged, this gel can absorb water. This process takes around 20 minutes. After those 20 minutes the vest needs a drying time of around 30 minutes before you can wear it.

Your body heat causes the water to evaporate from the vest, which draws body heat away. For that process to work optimally it is important that the vest can breathe. So you cannot wear clothing over the hydrogel vest.

Because activation by submerging and drying takes a little under an hour, it is wise to activate the vest the evening before use. Would you like to know whether the vest is completely free of water? You can feel this in the gel inside the compartments, which eventually turns into hard granules.

1 cooling vest fits all

The hydrogel can be used very broadly. You can wear it while walking, playing sports and working (for example as a courier or in garden maintenance). Women can also benefit a lot from it in summer during pregnancy. The vest is also very well received by people who suffer from MS. A cooling vest for people with MS can be very useful, because high temperatures often cause extra symptoms.

Durable polyester

The vest is made of polyester, which makes it hard-wearing. An added advantage is that the material dries easily. Since you have to activate the vest in water, that is very handy. The 4 available sizes and the adjustability thanks to the velcro sides mean you can wear it snugly, which makes it extra comfortable.

What makes a cooling vest so good?

Between 18 and 25 degrees we experience the most comfort when it comes to warmth. Above that we quickly get too warm. To keep the temperature bearable, a cooling vest can be the solution. You can wear such a vest truly anywhere. At home, outside, in the car, during a bike ride. You do not necessarily have to look for air conditioning or a fan to find some cooling.

4 sizes available

This cooling vest has a zip fastening, which makes it very easy to put on and take off. All 4 different sizes have velcro sides, so the sizing can be kept nice and generous. Measure your waist and chest circumference and, using the information below, you will find your ideal size:

• Size 1 = S - M (chest circumference 88-100cm, waist circumference 76-88cm)
• Size 2 = L - XL (chest circumference 100-112cm, waist circumference 88-100cm)
• Size 3 = 2XL - 3XL (chest circumference 112-124cm, waist circumference 100-112cm)
• Size 4 = 4XL - 5XL (chest circumference 124-136cm, waist circumference 112-124cm)

One more thing you shouldn’t miss

Pleasant weight distribution

The Hydrogel-05 distributes the weight of the water it absorbs nicely across the whole upper body. Dry, the vest weighs 250 grams; activated, 2200 grams. Thanks to that weight distribution and the good fit, you barely feel that you are wearing it. The vest has a zip at the front, so you put it on and take it off easily.

3 finishes

The vest has been given 3 finishes, which make it flame-retardant, quick-drying and antistatic.
