ExoCool Cooling Wear Demonstration
At 35:10 in
I Tested 9 Exoskeletons... But would Only buy One.
What happens here
The 'ExoCool' cooling line, including a vest and bandana, is introduced as a solution for heat stress in hot work environments. The textile is activated by simply running it under tap water for 3-5 seconds on each side, then rolling it in a towel to dry. It emerges feeling cool and damp, not dripping wet, and maintains a temperature of 61-68°F for 6-8 hours. This cooling effect is visually confirmed using a FLIR thermal camera, showing significant temperature reduction on the wearer's body. The presenter emphasizes its importance for preventing heat stroke and thermal overload, especially when wearing additional gear like exoskeletons.
Goal: Demonstrate the ExoCool line of cooling apparel for heat stress prevention
