Why doesn the vest continue to feel as cool after 30 minutes?
An energized vest will initially feel cool when you first put it on. Then as the body begins to expel heat into the cooling packs, the body heat begins melting the energized Heat Transfer Formula. You also begin acclimatizing to this temperature almost immediately as the body reacts positively. A body exposed to “too cold” temperatures (like ice or gel) reacts negatively by shivering to create rapid heat.
An energized vest will initially feel cool when you or your dog first puts it on. The body quckly adjusts and the temperature begins to feel normal, although the HTFxtm UniPakstm, are continuing to absob metabolic heat from the body, reducing the need to sweat (humans) or pant (dogs) to maintain a stable core temperature. Heat stress is reduced because the body does not have to expend as much energy and resources (water, electrolytes, etc.) to stay cool. A body exposed to “too cold” temperatures (like ice or gel) reacts negatively by shivering to create rapid heat, and constricting blood vessels in the skin to trap heat in the body’s core.
