Stephen Ettinger — USA MTB Champion Using Arctic Heat Ice Mountain Bike Cooling Vest

Stephen Ettinger - USA Mountain Bike Champion

Stephen Ettinger rides for the BMC Mountain Bike Racing Team. He is the 2013 USA Cycling Cross-Country Mountain Bike Champion. He competes on the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup circuit. He was named 2011 USA Cycling Athlete of the Year, one of the most decorated mountain bike racers in the USA.

Stephen uses his Arctic Heat mountain bike cooling vest to pre-cool before events and for recovery after hard rides. In the intense summer heat of mountain bike racing, controlling core body temperature before the gun goes off can be the difference between a podium result and blowing up mid-race.

Mountain Bike Cooling Vest for Race Day

Cross-country mountain bike racing is one of the most physically demanding disciplines in cycling. Short, explosive efforts happen on technical terrain in hot conditions. Pre-cooling with a mountain bike cooling vest in the 20-30 minutes before the start lowers skin temperature. It delays the onset of heat stress, allowing athletes like Stephen to push harder for longer.

The Arctic Heat cooling vest is trusted by elite mountain bike racers. It is lightweight at just 2.2 pounds, fits under a race jersey, and requires no ice packs or mechanical cooling equipment. Just a freezer the night before is all you need.
