Durable FR3-Rated Material

Banox vests are designed to weather tough jobs and hazardous conditions, with FR3-rated banox fabric that improves resistance to wear, tear, and open flames. Buckles replace the standard velcro side straps to further reduce additional fire-hazard risks.

Easy to Clean

GlacierPacks can be hand-washed with warm water and dish soap. If desired, isopropyl alcohol may be used for disinfection. Rinse and towel dry before use.

Banox vests can be washed by hand and line-dried, or by machine on a delicate wash cycle with a tumble dry.

Adustable Fit for Sizes S-3XL

The Banox vest comes in one size, with side and shoulder straps that can be adjusted to fit most adults. Vests will accomodate standard sizes S-XL, and can accomodate up to 3XL with the addition of a Extender Set

 The spare bundle includes TWO sets of adult cooling packs. Keep the spare set in a cooler, freezer or fridge to ensure non-stop comfort.  Two mesh bags, included, make it easy to recharge, transport and store both sets. 

Our rugged Original Cool Vest with wear-resistant Banox FR3 fabric is designed for use in the harsh environments of the oil, gas or chemical industries.  Made with extremely durable FR3 Flame Retardant Banox fabric, this cooling vest will help keep you cool, comfortable and safe in the face of the exact opposite.  The vest features dual side straps and over-the-shoulder adjustability for a secure fit on a wide range of body sizes. Each vest includes a set of eight cooling packs that maintain a cool -- but not cold -- temperature of 59° F for up to 2.5 hours in 100° F heat. The packs are powered by PureTemp, a nontoxic phase change material known for its consistent, repeatable performance over thousands of melting-solidification cycles.


Prepare To Be Cool:

GlacierTek vests maintains a dry, comfortable 59°F for up to 2.5 hours in 100°F heat.


How it Works:

The cooling vest has four interior pockets that hold packs snug against the torso. The charged packs will pull heat out of the body’s core which will lower effectively lowering the users body temperature and delivering a sensation of cooling. It is simple science, no gimmicks here. The packs work as heat absorbers, a cooling solution that keeps your clothes dry and works in humidity.


Easy to Recharge:

The cooling packs recharge in about 20 minutes in ice water (or a mountain stream), one hour in the freezer, or two hours in the refrigerator.


Multiple Uses:

Ideal for oil, gas, chemical and construction industries.  Useful for anyone working in heat related occupations and people with heat sensitive medical condition. Founded in 1997, Glacier Tek has been supplying cooling relief to satisfied customers for over 25 years.

Designed for comfort and functionality, the cool vest provides a full range of motion and features adjustable hook and loop style side straps, adjustable shoulder straps, and a heavy-duty front zipper.

Quality at a good price

I really like the vest. I live in the Deep South and it can be really murderous.
The FR rating was important to me as well.
I’d recommend a second set of pouches if you’re using it for longer than a few hours. It helps stave off the heat stroke and you can work longer in the heat.

Great vest!

Wore vest on 90 degree day working outside and it kept me nice and cool. Also the ice packs freeze up quickly when needed. Wish the straps pulled the vest tighter to body. Being smaller frame, it would be nice to have shorter straps so I can pull the vest closer to my body and feel the ice more. Great vest and will wear often!

Couldn't work without it

Live in Las Vegas area and have been dealing with high temperatures (105 to 110) and unusually high humidity ranging from 30 to 60 percent. My vest has proven itself to keep me comfortable. Couldn't work without it. Thank you.
