COOLING ZONES Get in the Zone You ve probably seen people pour water over their head to cool off, but there is actually more to this practice than just odd behavior. The body contains key cooling zones located on the head, neck and wrist to name a few When cold water, ice or a cooling mechanism is applied to these areas, the body feels more immediate cooling relief compared to what the other areas of the body provide ColdRush was designed to be applied to these key cooling zones, making you feel more cool and comfortable in high heat environments OFSAFETY Heat Statistics/ Importance of PPE Heat Index Risk Level Protective Measures Less than 33 C Less than 91 F Lower (Caution) Basic heat safety and planning We surveyed 100 workers and found that 93 percent regularly experience heat stress while on the job, and according to the CDC, extreme heat causes an average of 658 work and non work-related deaths a year in the United States.

When Work Gets Too Hot... Every year thousands of workers are affected by heat-related illnesses. Heat-related illness occurs when the body cannot cool itself enough to maintain a healthy temperature. When the body is unable to cool itself by sweating, several heat-induced illnesses can occur including heat cramps, heat exhaustion and even heat stroke. Working in a hot environment not only increases the risk of heat-related conditions, but also increases the risk of workplace accidents which are costly not only in terms of workplace recordables, but also to the health of those affected. In order to prevent heat-related illness, OSHA recommends the following: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water even if you re not thirsty Avoid alcohol, caffeine and high sugar drinks that contribute to dehydration Stay cool by avoiding direct sunlight, wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing, and resting in the shade Personal cooling products, in combination with these best practices, will help keep employees cool, comfortable and productive Put Your ColdRush to Work Simply wet down and wring out the ColdRush to provide a comfortable, cooling effect Wear for two to four hours without having to re-wet even if you aren t constantly sweating Expose the ColdRush to air between wettings to reinvigorate the cooling effect Naturally block harmful sunlight ColdRush Care Let ColdRush air dry once you have finished use Store the ColdRush product dry, but make sure you wet it before using or unfolding and make sure not to pull it apart when dry Machine/hand-wash as necessary to remove dirt, sweat, and oils.

ColdRush with evapora Technology What s the secret behind our innovative, non-drip ColdRush material? Our evapora fabric technology quickly absorbs moisture up to six times its weight, retains it, and allows it to slowly and naturally evaporate, which produces a cooling effect on the skin for hours. The result is cooler and more comfortable workers. Once in contact with the skin, ColdRush continually wicks perspiration away and stores it in microcavity moisture reservoirs, which provide up to four hours of active cooling. When the fabric dries out, simply wet it again to reactivate the cooling effect. At the end of the day, simply throw ColdRush in the washer and get ready to use it again.
