Cool Collar - Anti-heat for the Athlete
Physicians stress the importance of replenishing fluids and keeping
cool during very hot weather. This is not always possible when one is
active in the heat for more than 30 minutes. When placed around the
neck, the Cool Collar will help the body stay cool during these activities.
It is uniquely designed to cool carotid arterial blood flow directly
to the brain and throughout the rest of the circulatory system.
Feeling cooler in the heat helps one maintain energy and remain
focused.
The Cool Collar is made of soft terry-cloth and unfastens easily to
allow for use during contact sports. The collar contains three pockets
which are filled with ice. This type of collar allows ice to cool the
body instantly. Then as the ice melts, it moistens the fabric and skin,
creating an evaporation source for additional cooling.
The ice filled Cool Collar is superior to gel collars or crystal bead
bandanas because it is physiologically more effective and easier to
use. For a detailed comparison of ice filled collars to gel or water
absorbing bead collars, see the article “Cooling Down In Very Hot Weather”
by James R. Davis at: www.msgroup.org/TIP017.html.
The Cool Collar can be used while playing soccer, tennis, baseball,
softball, football, or golf. It can also be used by BMX riders, 4-wheelers,
runners, and fisherman. Coaches, umpires, referees, cheerleaders, marching
bandsmen, and spectators will also enjoy its cooling effect. Even UPS
employees, postal workers, yard workers, city workers, and road crews will
complete their tasks more effectively with an ice collar. The Cool Collar
is not just anti-heat for the athlete; it is for anyone who wishes to
remain comfortable in the heat.
People are enjoying the use of cool collars for golf tournament
fundraising and soccer tournament fundraising.
Warning: Do not place Cool Collar on babies or persons with
vasopastic disease, compromised circulation, or Raynaud’s disease.
