NEW! TechKewl Phase Change Cooling Vest
Ideal for working dogs (police, military, search and rescue, sport, etc.) or any canines that work in high heat conditions. These cooling vests (coats) use advanced Phase Change Cooling Material to maintain a constant cool temperature of 58F around your dog.

Technology Overview - Phase Change Material


Phase Change Material or PCM is a non-toxic chemical that freezes at 58F and stays at that temperature for 2-3 hrs. It works by absorbing heat away from the body. It is not a cold vest, it is a cool vest, and is designed to keep the user cool and comfortable, not cold. You can keep a PCM cooling insert pressed against your skin and there is no discomfort. There is no ice burn, condensation or fluctuating temperatures with PCM, like you would have with an ice vest. PCM is not water based, it is a carbon based liquid and it is 25% lighter than water.
