Many chapters of the NMSS offer
programs to help with your body cooling needs.

Polar Products works closely with many chapters of the NMSS on their excellent programs to help people with MS. Request information from your local chapter and if your particular chapter does not have a cooling program, or does not currently offer Polar Products Body Cooling Systems, especially our versatile and effective Kool Max line, request they contact Polar Products Inc. at 800-763-8423 and find out about our cost effective programs for NMSS and obtain references from the many chapters who do have such a program! 


There are three main types of body cooling systems available The following may help in requesting or choosing the right system for you:

  • Evaporative Cooling: Products are soaked in cool water and towel dried. This activates a polymer in the Polar system inside the garment which holds the water for many hours. The evaporation of this water cools the body. These systems work well in low humidity climates. Those living in higher humidity climates or desiring a higher efficiency system are best choosing a cold pack Kool Max system.
  • Cold Pack Cooling: These garments cool through the use of special cold packs. The cold packs are placed in the freezer until frozen, then placed in insulated pockets on the vests and wraps. A single set of cold packs will last 2 to 4 hours. This type of cooling is not limited by the level of humidity as evaporative cooling is and is an excellent choice when you do not wish to wet garments, when you may want to wear the cooling garment under clothes and / or when there is higher ambient humidity
  • Active Cooling Therapy: Cool water is pumped through tubes sewn into a vest. This type of cooling is the highest level of deep, core body cooling.
