Hypohidrotic

(also includes Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) and Ectodermal Dysplasia (EDS))

With more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing cooling garments, we hear from many individuals on how our cooling products have helped them manage their heat intolerance and enhance their quality of life.

"The Polar Child's cooling vest is amazing! We live in Ukraine and our son has HED - Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. He is 4 years old and he doesn't sweat and doesn't like summer, because of heat. It makes our lives difficult. But thanks to your perfect cooling vest we can go to the outside and even play and run. We bought a toddler cooling vest two years ago, and my son wore it very well. It really helps him. We used it about 2 years and our son become older, so we bought cool kids cooling vest: cooling kit with neck wrap etc. This one is bigger and keeps the comfortable temperature about 2 hours. We cannot buy in Ukraine something like this. There are no cooling vests for kids in Ukraine. Truth be told the vest is expensive for us but it is one way to live 5 months in a year. Thank you so much!" - Svetlana L, Ukraine

Heat Related Issues with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia:
Heat exposure must be monitored with strict monitoring of body temperature. Heat generating activities in older children must be tackled with physical cooling measures such as frequent drinking of cold liquids, wearing special cooling vests and caps.
