A cooling vest is a piece of specially made clothing designed to lower or stabilize body temperature and make exposure to warm climates or environments more bearable.
[1][2] Cooling vests are used by many athletes, construction workers, and welders, as well as individuals with multiple sclerosis, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, or various types of sports injuries.
In multiple sclerosis, nerve fibers become demyelinated which leads to pain and discomfort when temperature is elevated.
[5] In 2005, a 12-week study at the University of Buffalo was funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, a division of the U.S. Department of Education, to determine if people with multiple sclerosis could exercise longer with the help of a cooling vest.
This is believed to be the largest and most significant deployment of cooling workwear delivered and consulted by TechNiche UK.
