Thermokinetic study
An in-vitro thermokinetic study conducted in the laboratory on the high tech material used in Cooline® at 75° F showed a temperature reduction to 64°F. At an outside temperature of 86°F, the temperature of Cooline® was a cool 61° F and was maintained for over 40 hours. The "THERMOMAN" study conducted by the Swiss national research institute Empa Materials Science and Technology in St. Gallen confirmed the effectiveness of Cooline®. The parts of the body protected by Cooline® showed a lower temperature rise than those not protected by the new high tech fleece. See Empa Research Report No. 204,959 of 2.2.2006
Rise in accident figures with thermal stress
A study by the German Federal Highway Research Institute (source: dpa) revealed that the risk of car accidents rises by a third at elevated temperatures. Heat also causes a drop in concentration. Driving errors increase already by 20% at an ambient temperature of 86°F.
