products
are a line of water-activated cooling accessories that can be worn at work
or play, indoors or out. Available in over 30 colors and prints, MiraCool
products appear to be a fashion accessory, yet they serve a real function
in keeping the wearer feeling and looking cool.
Encased within each MiraCool product, made of colorful 100% cotton, are
super-absorbent polymer crystals. The crystals work just by soaking them
in water and stay plump and hydrated for up to two full days. The crystals
retain the coolness of the water and work in combination with the
evaporation process against the skin to keep the wearer cool.

Image Design's Personal Cooling System lets
you stay active -- or inactive -- in the heat and feel a whole lot
cooler than you otherwise would. A high-tech version of the old
ice-soaked towel.
The Personal Cooling System is very lightweight and easy to wear. You
simply fill its two chambers with a few ounces of water, rest it
comfortably and securely around your neck, and switch it on. A quiet
motor drives a tiny fan that moves air across the water, creating
evaporative cooling -- up to 20°F cooler than the hot, dry air around
you! The flexible sides hold the aluminum cooling plates against your
neck -- and your entire body enjoys up to four hours of relief from
the heat. It's a great way to stay comfortable -- and minimize heat
stress -- when walking, mowing, gardening, watching sports or concerts
-- just about any activity, anywhere!

Misty
Mate, Inc., manufactures a complete line of personal,
portable cooling systems used for a multitude of applications. Their
products are used for sports, recreation, outdoor work, medical and
commercial applications. Misting works by forcing water through
a brass and stainless steel mist nozzle producing a micro-fine mist.
The water droplets that create the mist are so small, about one-half
the diameter of a strand of hair, that they instantly flash evaporate.
This flash evaporation can reduce the surrounding air as much as 30°
F (16° C) in just seconds. This dome of cool refreshing air insulates
you from the detrimental effects of the hot sun making any outdoor
activity more enjoyable. |
This
super-fine mist is key for people with ichthyosis--when you normally get
yourself wet to cool down, you end up washing off most of your creams.
So now you're cooler (not in danger of heat exhaustion), but you're still
miserable because now you're all dried out. The mist from a Misty
Mate is so fine, it hardly disturbs the cream you've put on at all.
So it's the best of both worlds--you get the cooling effects of water, but
your cream stays on. Being moist and cool is the goal of all of us
with ichthyosis.
