Heat strain is an underappreciated performance factor that can decisively influence outcomes. CoolMitt® helps professional teams manage thermal strain more effectively — preserving more capacity for performance and recovery.
See it in action
Heat buildup
Every acceleration, climb and sustained effort creates more than power — it creates heat. Up to 80% of energy your body generates during effort is released as heat, adding thermal strain on your body.
As efforts become longer or more intense, heat keeps building. In hot conditions, the margin for dissipating it becomes even smaller. The cardiovascular system has to work harder while more capacity is directed toward regulating temperature.
This thermal load competes with the resources athletes need for output, repeatability and recovery. When it rises too far, power becomes harder to sustain and the next decisive effort becomes more costly. Thermoregulation therefore deserves the same strategic attention as pacing, fueling and recovery.
Not a lack of drive.
Science-backed Cooling Tech
Ice vests, cold towels and cold fluids may make athletes feel cooler. But surface relief is not the same as effectively managing thermal strain inside your body.
CoolMitt® targets the palm’s specialized heat-exchange vessels to cool circulating blood and transfer heat away from the body—helping reduce thermoregulatory demand and preserve more capacity for performance and recovery.
PERFORMANCE WINDOWS
Use CoolMitt® before the start, between hard efforts and after exertion to help your body manage thermal load — so intensity, workload and repeatable performance stay within reach when heat builds.
Build thermal headroom before effort begins.
Release heat load between hard efforts.
Restore capacity for what comes next.
