Heat stress can sneak up on you quickly
Stay Cool and Protected: everyone owns a raincoat and has warm clothing for cold weather. But when it comes to protecting yourself from heat, few people think of cooling garmets. Isn’t that surprising?
When temperatures rise because of the heat or heavy exertion, jumping in the water, taking a cold shower or just using a fan or find a cooler place isn’t always possible - especially at for example the office, at a festival, working in a factory or exercising. In these situations, traditional cooling methods just aren’t practical.
That’s why wearable cooling is essential. With advanced cooling wearables, you can stay comfortable, maintain top performance, and protect yourself from heat stress-no matter where you are. Don’t let the heat slow you down. Choose smart, effective cooling solutions and stay safe, cool, comfortable and in control.
Heat stress can sneak up on you quickly
The body’s normal core temperature is 37-38 degrees Celsius. When it’s heating up due to physical exercise or external heat, the body reacts by increasing the blood flow to the skin’s surface. You start to sweat. As the sweat evaporates, the body cools down. The more you sweat, the more your body has to work. Energy is more and more directed to the process of cooling down. So other areas will have less energy.
What are the effects when your body fights the increasing temperature ?
When warming up, your body starts to sweat. In most cases this will be sufficient, but when your body is exposed to heat for a longer period or temperature increases further, this will happen:
- sweat and transpiration will increase, your clothes get wet
- your heart rate will increase
- you start to feel uncomfortable
- you will get tired
- your body will get in strain
- you will lose concentration (up to 40 %)
- you will get agitated
- you will get a headache
- your ability to react slows down, which may imply unsafetyness
When exposed to warmth too long, the following may happen:
- your muscles will cramp
- you will not be able to concentrate anymore
- you will faint
- and worse…
The process of a body that’s fighting the heat is called “heat stress”. And heat stress is easy to avoid, with the help of cooling products. So why not assist your body with the process of cooling down? To stay comfortable, perform better and stay safe.
Personal Cooling Producs increase your performance
Cooling products help to avoid “heat stress”, but they do more! You will perform in the way you are used to, for a longer period of time. You will enjoy what you are doing for a longer period of time.
Sporting performance will increase with around 10 % for professionals. On an amateur level even more. That may not seem impressive at first hand, but the difference in performance between top athlete’s are just 1-2 %. It may just be the difference of becoming a world champion. That is why many top athlete’s and even worldchampions are using INUTEQ cooling products.
On an amateur level cooling products help to workout for a longer period of time. That means more and longer exercise, more muscle buildup and more weight loss. And... cooling products will also help to restore the muscles quicker.
Productivity at work will decrease less when cooling products are used. You will feel less tired or uncomfortable (sweat) and in hazardous environments, stay more safe.
Personal Cooling for working professionals
Personal cooling apparel is not limited to athletes; it finds crucial applications in occupational environments—construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, emergency services, police, military, healthcare, and more—where heat exposure is a chronic concern.
Workers wearing cooling garments experience reduced fatigue, lower risk of heat-related accidents, and better overall productivity. The ability to maintain thermal comfort despite layers of protective equipment is especially important in industrial and healthcare settings. For many, these products are a necessity for workplace safety rather than a luxury.
Enhanced Recovery and Mental Focus
Cooling garments also provide recovery benefits when worn after physical exertion or during breaks. Faster reduction in muscle temperature and inflammation leads to quicker recovery times and reduced soreness, enabling a swifter return to work or training. Additionally, maintaining a stable body temperature helps support mental focus, which is critical for safety and decision-making in high-stress environments.
Scientific Consensus and Practical Considerations
The consensus in recent literature is clear: personal cooling garments are effective at both preventing heat stress and improving performance, with improvements typically ranging between 5–11% depending on the technology and usage scenario. In environments where temperatures exceed 30°C or humidity limits natural heat dissipation, these products provide an important edge.
And of course: how about wellness ...
When your body temperature increases and you start to feel uncomfortable, why not cool it down, so you can continue to enjoy the situation as before? Cooling products are widely used by festival-goers, visitors to outdoor sporting events, hikers, sailors, people enjoying a sunny day at the beach, and so on.
