PRO GuIDe ‘Siachen’ cooling vest With the aim of not giving up security and preserving the highest level of comfort, the UFO Plast developed ‘Siachen’ evaporative cooling vest reduces thermal stress and fatigue without using chemicals or preventive refrigeration, ensuring a pleasant feeling of coolness and better performance. Featuring INUTEQ- DRY technology, the gilet does not moisten or get wet, is comfortable, lightweight, fully fashioned and can be worn under other clothes. Very simple to use by simply inserting 0.5 litre of fresh water into the opening on the back, closing it again, draining the water so that it is channelled in all the internal parts and expels any excess before wearing it. In this way it provides up to 15C/59F cooling relief below ambient temperature. The INUTEQ-DRY cooling products are designed to be worn in an environment with an ambient temperature that is not extreme and perform best in low to medium humidity. The level of airflow on the body determines the cooling effect and a cooling duration that can last up to three days. Once the cooling effect is finished, just insert new fresh water into the vest. The UFO Plast ‘Siachen’ vest is very easy to use and re-use and, for proper cleaning, has antibacterial properties and is machine washable. UFO PLAST S.R.L.
