New Cooling Apparel Designed to Fight Heat and Keep Skilled Trades People Cool
ST. PAUL, Minn. (March 4, 2008) - Ergodyne announces advancements and additions to its Chill-Its® line of cooling vests, absorptive caps and cooling towels to help workers fight the heat by staying cool and dry.
"We continue to develop new products with advanced technology to help workers stay cool and safe in hot working conditions. These workers demand the most advanced cooling solutions, and we are dedicated to providing them with products that respond," said Tom Votel, president and CEO of Ergodyne.
Several products within the Chill-Its Absorptive Series are made of Hi Cool®, a highperformance wicking fabric that quickly moves moisture away from the body for fast evaporation and optimal comfort.
Chill-Its Evaporative Series products cool workers through evaporation. New additions and enhancements to this popular series include:
o High Performance Class 2 Evaporative Cooling Vest (6675) - This ANSI-certified model combines a waterrepellent liner and activated, polymer-embedded fabric with a HI-Vis ANSI certified polyester mesh outside to provide the ultimate in comfort and safety. To cool, workers simply soak this vest in cold water to provide relief from the heat. This model also includes a snap closure and outside pocket and is available in sizes Small through 5XL.
o Chill-Its Evaporative Cooling Vest (6665) -This model combines a quilted nylon outer layer and special inner fabric layer embedded with super-absorbent acrylic polymers. To cool down, workers simply soak this lightweight, durable vest in cold water and enjoy instant cooling relief. With a V-neck design, this vest is available in silver or lime and in sizes Medium through 3XL.
o Phase Change Cooling Vest (Khaki and Hi-Vis) (6200) - Ergodyne's Phase Change series is the ultimate in keeping the core body temperature in the safe zone. The vest maintains a constant 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a cooling cycle of up to four hours. Designed for workers in intense heat environments for long periods of time, the Phase Change Cooling Vest has been proven to increase productivity and recovery times. In an independent 10-day series of tests, firefighter participants wore full gear with their Chill-Its Vests and increased their productivity by 22 percent. The hi-vis orange vest uses Level 2 ANSI-certified tape; is made of a flame-resistant material that lasts up to 50 washings; has an adjustable hook and loop closure that allows for optimal fit, and exceeds FTMS 191-5903.
