VAMC Purchasing Program:
Streamlined, One-Stop PO Drop

It should be easy to dropship an item straight from a vendor to the end user, without requiring follow-up action(s).

We have worked closely with local VAMC's for long enough to have recognized the need for a true "Fire and Forget" program, one that streamlines the ordering process and prevents VA Purchasers from having to revisit ongoing PO's.

Therefore, we've created this process and refined it with the details and quick 'pre-sending' checklist below.


Details Relevant for VAMC Purchasing:

  • A fixed 15% discount will be applied to all products for VAMC orders
  • A fixed-rate shipping cost of $15 for fulfillment to any US Address via UPS Ground Service (orders less than $1000)
  • Payments processed by credit card
  • Fulfillment within 48 hours
  • No added sales tax

  • Submit PO's to info@glaciertek.com
  • Automated email is sent to Purchaser confirming order processing and shipment tracking info


The Guide to Your PO:
(A simple checklist to ensure your PO is ready for one-stop processing)

  • Veteran/End User Contact Info is Correct
  • GT Products should be discounted 15%
  • $15 added for shipping cost on your VAMC PO
  • VAMC PO's typically include the card # and expiration date.
    • Please include the 3-digit verification code as well, on your PO or the email/fax it is attached to


This process has been automated and streamlined, but our representatives are still available to provide assistance with any questions you may have. Contact us here or give us a call at 763 447 3271


Made in the USA - Serving US Veterans

Glacier Tek products are made in the USA, and we have stayed committed to that process in part to help make it easy for US agencies to take advantage of high-quality cooling vests. VAMC's across the US can place orders with benefits such as fixed shipping rates and same-day fulfillment that makes the process easy for Administrators, and quick for the end users.

Veterans/Servicemen will receive 15% off all products on any purchase from Glacier Tek, and for the same reason VAMC's are granted that 15% discount rate on all products/purchases as well.


Priority Fulfillment

Glacier Tek orders are typically fulfilled within 48 hours. Purchases made by US Military/Federal Agencies, Medical Service Providers, and LEO will be given our highest priority and are typically fulfilled within 24 hours.

Simplified Process

The purchasing process for VAMCs has been streamlined to make it as simple and efficient as possible. Please see the information available above for specifics on the purchasing and fulfillment process.

Whether you're an end user fulfilling an immediate need, a purchaser accounting for budgetary considerations, or a third-party looking to fulfill an open bid - we will work with you in securing the desired outcome asap. Government purchasing typically includes red tape or other exceptions so we've positioned ourselves to be flexible, please do not hesitate to contact us with your specific requests or unique requirements.

Made in the USA

Glacier Tek products are made in the US by local partners and our own staff. These products are intended to endure, and we take great pride in supporting our products far beyond the initial purchase. Should you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us!

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.

Do Glacier Tek Cool Vests come with a warranty?

Can the Cool Vest be returned?
