If you or someone you care for is dealing with MS, we strongly recommend checking out their available resources at https://www.nationalmssociety.org and more specifically, looking into their suggestions at https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Resources-Support

If you are managing a medical condition such as multiple sclerosis, it is great to have help from experts and others who can provide advice or even direct care in managing the symptoms of those conditions! The NMSS has a wonderful program available that features MS Navigators, persons who work directly with MS patients to navigate any available options or therapies that could be beneficial for the end user. Contacting them can be done here: https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Resources-Support/Find-Support/Ask-an-MS-Navigator


NMSS Navigators are available to provide assistance!

The National MS Society has a fantastic support team known as Navigators! They work directly with MS patients to be a reliable advisor, helping answer questions across a wide range of MS-related inquiries. Use the links available in the section above to visit the NMSS website, and get in touch with a MS Navigator.

NMSS Order Process for Patients

A great benefit that Glacier Tek has been able to provide in collaboration with the MS Navigators is the availability of cooling vests/accessories on the behalf of MS patients. NMSS Navigators work directly with their patient to help determine their needs, and then send their order request directly to Glacier Tek for immediate fulfillment! This streamlined process has made requesting products a very simple and straightforward process for users.

Our Entire Product Collection, Plus Recommendations

In an effort to make all of our cooling vests and accessories as easily available as possible, we've extended the NMSS discount on all of our products without exception. You'll find recommended vests and accessories in the collection below!

Can Glacier Tek vests be worn under clothing?

Each of our vests adds about an inch of thickness to both the front and back of the body, and therefore can be worn under clothing and outerwear as long as there’s room. The Flex Vest offers the snuggest fit for wearing underneath form-fitting clothing.

Which size vest is right for me?

The ideal vest is determined by your intended use and personal preference for style, type of material and color. Our adjustable adult vests will fit almost all adults and extenders are available for sizes above XL. If a vest does not cover the whole torso, as long as the packs fall over the heart and lungs, the vest will cool the body effectively. For more information and to find your fit, check out our video.

How do GlacierPacks work?

GlacierPacks can be charged in ice water, a freezer or refrigerator, and will maintain a constant 59℉ for up to 2.5 hours. While they may produce some condensation, it will mostly be absorbed by the vest itself. Because GlacierPacks are phase-change cooling packs, your vest will not require air passing over it to maintain temperature. GlacierPacks can be worn under protective gear and other clothing without issue.

How durable are GlacierPacks?

While our GlacierPacks can withstand bodyweight pressure, such as laying on them, you should use caution around any sharp objects. We do offer an accessory called the Glacier Tek Nail Stop set you can purchase to further protect the packs from being punctured by sharp edges, tools, etc. 

Why were the GlacierPacks white and solid when I received my order?

GlacierPacks may solidify in transit if the temperature is below 59℉. This does no harm to them, and the standard instructions can still be used to charge them for use.

Where can I purchase a cooling vest locally?

Our vests are not sold in stores, please use our online stores for your purchase. 

How quickly are orders processed?

Most orders are processed and shipped within one or two business days. Our Storefront will send out an automated email with tracking information when your order is shipped.

How do I change or cancel an order?

If you need to make any changes or cancel your order after it has been sent, please call Customer Service at (800) 482-0533. Please note that your order may begin processing immediately after you place it, and it may not be possible to change items on existing orders.

What if an item I want is out of stock?

We try our best to fill all orders within 48 hours. Sometimes, despite our best planning, we underestimate demand and certain items are temporarily out of stock. We will let you know if an item is on back-order and will be delayed or if it is no longer available. We reserve the right to limit quantities based on merchandise availability.

If we are temporarily out of stock, you can back-order an item by prepaying (including shipping). When the product is in stock, we will automatically ship it to you.

Can I order a replacement vest without the cooling packs?

Owners of a damaged or permanently soiled vest may wish to buy a replacement without incurring the cost of replacing the cooling packs. We are happy to accommodate. Please contact us for pricing.
