The Science of Cooling Vest and Cooling Towel

 THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS

Hydrocool products (Manufactured by Techniche) have been tested all over the world by athletes and workers, by professionals and everyday users. We continue to develop and re-design our apparel using our patented technologies to improve your experience and ensure your PERFORMANCE, SAFETY AND COMFORT.

 The below information provides a short summary of our technologies such as HyperKewl™.

EVAPORATIVE TECHNOLOGY, POWERED BY HYPERKEWL

HyperKewl™ products are made using our HyperKewl™ fabric which utilizes a unique chemistry to achieve rapid absorption, stable water storage and controlled evaporation.
Our Hyperkewl™ fabric allows us to create garments that absorb, hold and slowly evaporate water so that we can place a large amount of water around a user, while they stay dry, and then evaporate it to help us “super-charge” the bodies natural cooling method. Our bodies will normally cool us off through the evaporation of sweat on the skin, with HyperKewl™ fabrics, we simply add to this natural process, creating a cooling effect that can cool the user up to 10-15F below the ambient temperature, depending on airflow. (NB High humidity (90%) will diminish the fabric’s ability to evaporate water and therefore provide cooling.) An easy and safe cooling process that simply helps to do what nature has already done, cool us through the evaporation of water.
