The Portwest Iona Cooling Vest is designed to help prevent heat stress when you work in hot and humid weather. Once soaked in water, it keeps you cool for up to 8 hours and helps hold your body at a steady temperature.
It is lightweight and opens at the front with a zip, so it is quick to put on over your clothing. The clothes underneath stay dry while you wear it, and you can reactivate it as many times as you need through a long shift.
