COOL Pads will help protect people by:

  • They will not have to wait for medical treatment
  • Doing all of the work to keep the body temperature level for the best possible sports performance; and
  • Being lightweight and easy for players to move around while wearing.

*There are other reasons that cause people to get heat exhaustion, like being overweight, not drinking enough water before working out and working out too hard without training first, but COOL Pads will not help these problems.
