COOLING VEST
Vitmo® offers a cooling waistcoat made of micro-fibre high-tech fleece to protect against high heat stress. The cooling waistcoat is activated with water in ten seconds, which achieves cooling depending on the external or body temperature. The cooling waistcoat reinforces the natural cooling system of the human body!
Body heat creates a body-regulating evaporative cooling effect when worn. The cooling effect is stronger at high temperatures than at lower temperatures in order to achieve a constant cooling result. Cooling effects of up to 12 °C degrees cooler are the result at high temperatures. 10 % more performance has been proven in the endurance range.
Tests at national and international institutes as well as endurance tests in fire protection containers have proven the constant cooling effect. The Vitmo® cooling waistcoat is the ideal support for all heat-endangered operations to protect health from heat stress. It is advisable to wear it under the fan-ventilated protective suit, as the cooling effect increases operational capability and performance.
