Heat is a dangerous hazard
Extreme heat events are occurring in Australia more often and for longer periods of time. This means that workers are now exposed to hotter, more volatile and more dangerous work environments than ever before.
Our rugged all-round PCM CoolVest offers constant cooling and heat stress protection for professionals who need expert cooling underneath protective industrial clothing in extreme heat situations. The CoolVest performs under extreme temperatures and under every level of humidity, and can even be used for medical applications where constant cooling is required.
Offering exact temperatures, our CoolVest is often used under military combat gear, hazardous materials suits, mascot costumes and other professional apparel. The inside of the vest is provided with 4 pockets in which our bio-based PCM cooling packs can be inserted. Our PCM cooling packs are available in 5 different temperatures, so you can kit out your team with exactly what they need.

CoolVest Specs
Emergency services personnel are consistently placed in high pressure and high-risk environments that push workers to their limits. To ensure optimal safety and ease of performance, our CoolVest and bio-based PCM cooling packs have past rigorous tests, making them the only REACH registered and USDA certified 100% bio-based PCM products available on the market.
Product Overview
Our rugged all-round PCM CoolVest offers constant cooling and heat stress protection for professionals who need expert cooling underneath protective industrial clothing in extreme heat situations. Weartek products are also suitable for medical applications where constant cooling is required.
The CoolVest performs under extreme temperatures and under every level of humidity.
Offering exact temperatures, our CoolVest is often used under military combat gear, hazardous materials suits, mascot costumes and other professional apparel. The inside of the vest is provided with 4 pockets in which our bio-based PCM cooling packs can be inserted. Our PCM cooling packs are available in 5 different temperatures:Buckles allow a tight fit, while being stored safely in the pockets of the vest. Reactivation is fast and easy; simply put the pack in ice water, freezer, fridge or store at a lower temperature until it becomes fully solid.
The CoolVest can also be ordered in FR (Fire Resistant) material.
CoolVest Components

Cool Pack Components
Our renewable bio-based Phase Change Material (PCM) is produced with materials of vegetable origin. Our cooling pack products out-perform paraffin and salt hydrates PCM in a number of areas:
- Improved fire safety
- Long term stability
- High latent heat capacities
- Safer handling
- Sourced from recyclable materials
Our bio-based PCM is non-toxic, 100% biodegradable, low-flammable, durable, reusable, 20% lighter than water, and does not produce condensation.

How it works
Tap to read
PHASE 1
When the ambient temperature rises, the PCM starts to melt
PHASE 2
During the phase transition, the PCM stores energy as latent heat, maintaining a constant temperature until the cooling product is completely melted.
PHASE 3
When the ambient temperature lowers, the PCM starts to recrystalize.
PHASE 4
When the PCM starts to recrystalize, it releases the stored latent heat, while maintaining a constant temperature until all latent heat has been released.
