Cycling Cooling Vest for Professional Teams

At the UCI ProTour level, marginal gains matter enormously. Pre-cooling with a cycling cooling vest before a stage start or time trial reduces skin temperature and delays heat stress. It allows riders to push at maximum intensity from the gun. The Arctic Heat cooling vest has been used at six Olympic Games and by professional cycling teams across the UCI calendar. It is the lightest, most practical cooling solution available at 2.2 pounds.
