Personal Heat Relief
Body-level thermal regulation for people working in high heat
Wearable and seating products built on PCM cores that absorb body heat at a controlled temperature band, supporting outdoor labour, industrial sites and daily commuting in hot climates.
The challenge
What makes temperature control difficult in this scenario
Heat stress during long shifts
Sustained work in high ambient temperature raises core body temperature, reducing concentration and increasing the need for rest breaks.
Protection requirements conflict with cooling
High-visibility and protective workwear adds layers and reduces breathability, which makes conventional ventilation-based cooling ineffective.
Power-free operation on remote sites
Field crews, road works and disaster response teams often operate without reliable power, so battery-driven cooling cannot be deployed at scale.
Technical approach
How phase change material is applied here
PCM core with a defined comfort band
Phase change material is sealed into panels and placed against the torso. It absorbs heat while changing phase, holding the contact surface inside a configurable comfort band instead of dropping it sharply.
Garment integration by scenario
The same core technology is integrated into high-visibility vests, protective vests, lifestyle vests and seat cushions, so a single supplier can cover different user groups within one organisation.
Recharge without dedicated infrastructure
Panels are recharged in cold water, a refrigerator or a freezer, then reused for many cycles. No batteries, chargers or on-site power are required.
