Thermal Star ® Personal Cooling System Fights Heat Stress

Personal Cooling System will provide cooling relief for people who are exposed to high environmental temperatures or seek relief from an elevated body temperature. The unique portable cooling system contains a small battery-operated fan that is connected to a series of discharge tubes that circulate air against the body, neck or head. As the air evaporates the body's moisture from perspiration, the Thermal Star Personal Cooling System, pioneered and developed by Electric Fan Engineering was designed to keep armored vehicle crew personnel cool in desert environments where temperatures could reach 160 degrees F.

Historically, heat-related injuries are significant threats to the operational effectiveness of both workplace and military personnel. Every year more than 50,000 people nationwide visit emergency rooms for heat-stress-related injuries, including more than 500 fatalities. The Thermal Star Personal Cooling System could be the perfect complement for responsible practices to avoid heat-related challenges including heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

All Things Motorcycle - Veskimo Personal Cooling System

Anyone have experience with the Veskimo Personal Cooling System? This product was recently reviewed in Motorcycle Consumer News (May 2011), and received the highest rating. It effectively keeps you cool in hot weather for several hours, but you are tethered to the bike by a tube that goes to a cooling bag containing ice. MCN said that the benefits outweigh the risk of being tethered to the bike by the tube. Opinions, anyone? It works very well. I filled the reservoir with 4 frozen liter-size water bottles and about a quart of water. When I connected it and turned it on, it began circulating the water through the vest. Temperature relief was immediate and dramatic. I did not need to run it continuously. I would run it when I got hot, then turn it off as soon as I cooled off. The bottles of water melted as time passed. I could have taken 4 more frozen bottles and run it longer. It can run on 8 regular AA alkaline batteries or 10 rechargeable NiMH batteries.

I recently used the Veskimo 9 qt. system on my trip from Miami to Columbia South Carolina and back. I ran the system with my accessory power socket. The weather was very hot (94-94) and humid, and there was quite a bit of smoke due to brush fires from Daytona Beach through Savannah GA. I was very pleased with the performance of the Veskimo system, as I was able to keep cool and hydrated even with full gear on. My experience with store-bought ice was that it was good for only 2-3 hours, running the unit continuously.
