Standard CarbonX Cooling Vest with PhaseCore 28
Standard CarbonX Cooling Vests are a solution to reduce and combat heat stress in electrical and fire hazard environments where flammability protection is required. Standard CarbonX Cooling Vests use PhaseCore, a phase change material (PCM), to provide a cooling effect to the body’s core by absorbing body heat. The CarbonX material is flame retardant.
