ICEY WRAP®
was developed when the use of a typical cool tie did not provide the consistent necessary cooling comfort
for a couple of Arizona workers when temperatures would rise above
105º degrees. ICEY WRAP® has been used in
construction zones, inside 140º degree attics, during boating, daily outdoor house chores, walking for exercise,
watching spectator sports and other outdoor leisure activities.
As the human body heats up during physical activity, especially in hot weather, it needs a way to transfer the internal
heat away from the body in order to cool down.
ICEY WRAP® works best when using ice in temperatures over 105º degrees.
Sweating is a primary form of body cooling that naturally occurs. Evaporative cooling occurs when water, sweat or perspiration
leaves the skin surface and changes into a gas vapor, thus lowering one’s body temperature by taking the heat from the
body by evaporation. ICEY WRAP® provides cold and or cool moisture at the skin surface to aid in this process
of body cooling.
The circulation of blood in the body is also another means to help cool. It is believed by many in the medical profession
that when blood vessels which are located near the skin surface such as the arteries in the neck, are covered with items
such as a cold pack , a cool tie or neck wrap, the blood is actually cooled at this location and circulates to other
portions of the body. Periodic addition of ice to ICEY WRAP® helps provide a cooler temperature at the skin
surface than that of a traditional neck cooling wrap and may help in this cooling process.
Personal experience by users of ICEY WRAP® in temperatures over 105º degrees say they feel more refreshed, alert and not
drained of energy at the end of the day as they have been in the past without the use of ICEY WRAP®.
Although ICEY WRAP® works great in most outdoor heat situations, the more humid the climate, the less effective
the evaporation process is for cooling the body.
We caution everyone using ICEY WRAP® to continue to drink fluids as directed no matter how good you feel!
Before using a cool ICEY WRAP®, always consult your doctor if you are being treated for a medical condition
concerning your heart, overheating or cooling of the body or if you have sensitivity to cold and or ice. We make no claims
as to the theory of cooling blood with an ICEY WRAP®.
