Heat can be a destructive force. As much as we love its warming caress on cold days, or its relaxing power on a hot day – you can have too much heat and it can prove fatal.
The body has an optimum temperature. It’s known as the core temperature, or the internal heat that your torso gets to. Your torso contains all your bodies’ important organs and if they get too hot, they start to fail. Checking on your bodies internal temperature is essential for good health, which is why it is checked by a medical professional as a matter of routine.
What can affect your body temperature?
There are two most common ways of affecting your temperature – Sickness and Ambient Temperature.
When you are sick your body works hard to fight the sickness and this raises your internal temperature. Sometimes you will sweat as sweat is the way we react to heat naturally as the body tries to cool itself.
Ambient temperature, or the temperature outside of your bodies, affects your internal temperature. You continually loose heat if the outside temperature is cooler than our body, or you continually warm up absorbing the heat if the temperature is hotter.
How does sweat help keep me cool?
Sweating releases moisture on the skin which are evaporated by the heat and breeze, drawing the heat out of the skin. This is called evaporator cooling. The body sweats in more places than others, depending on how hot that particular area is.
How does a CoreGear Chiller cooling towel work?

The way the fabric is designed and the coating used ensure that the evaporation action is used effectively and the heat from your body dissipated into the atmosphere.
Who can use a CoreGear Chiller cooling towel?
