Background
One of the biggest factors in a soldier's ability to be effective in a combat environment is the potential to overheat. As every soldier knows, the Army has been great about coming out with new technology to keep them warm, but until now no one has developed affordable products to keep you cooler in hot environments. All soldiers know from personal experience that there is nothing more uncomfortable than having to wear helmets for more than about an hour. It becomes extremely uncomfortable with the heat that is trapped and the harness system that actually causes the wearer considerable pain in the scalp area.
How the Cool-Aid™ Combat Helmet Insert Works
Through the natural process of evaporation, the Cool-Aid insert cools the scalp of the wearer providing a degree of cooling comfort. In addition to the cooling effect provided, the soft pliable chambers protect the wearer from irritation and chaffing caused by the harness and hatband in the headgear. The Cool-Aid™ Insert can be sprayed or soaked with cooler water to replenish the cooling effect as often as necessary. For an extra blast of cooling you may refrigerate or freeze the Thermotux® Cool-Aid™ after it has been soaked. Made in the USA.
Developed by U.S. Army SFC William “Cliff “ Vaughan as the solution to helmet discomfort and misery. Thermotux Patent Pending.
