The PIP 390-PCVKT1 EZ-Cool Phase Change Cooling System is a personal cooling vest designed to help maintain a comfortable core temperature in hot, humid, or PPE-rich environments. It uses a semi-solid phase change material (PCM) to hold a steady 65°F (approximately) for up to three hours, absorbing heat generated by the wearer and helping to mitigate heat stress when traditional evaporative cooling is less effective. The cooling effect is intended to be activated by cooling the packs—either in a refrigerator or freezer for about an hour, or in ice water for roughly 20 minutes—and then worn with adjustable shoulder and torso fit to deliver cooling toward the core without abrupt temperature shifts.
The vest is constructed from a three-layer fabric that integrates hydrophilic fibers with a thermally conductive core, supporting repeated cooling activation over the product’s life. It is designed for use under other PPE or in high-heat/humid conditions where evaporative methods may be limited. The garment is intended to be spot-washed or hand-washed, and is advertised as durable enough to endure multiple seasons with proper care and normal use. It is a one-size-fits-most design, compatible with wearers up to a 58-inch chest, and closes via a pullover closure for a snug, core-directed cooling effect.
For practical use, users should consider the required care to preserve the PCM’s cooling properties and the need to re-activate the cooling packs after each use. The product includes the cooling packs and is offered in navy as part of the EZ-Cool series, which emphasizes a portable, re-usable cooling solution for temporary relief from heat stress in demanding work settings.
