Ichthyosis

With more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing cooling garments for people living with heat intolerance, we hear from many individuals on how our cooling products have helped them live a happier and more enjoyable life.

"This is a true lifesaver for my daughter, she has a skin condition called Ichthyosis that prevents her from sweating and regulating her body temperature. With this [Cool Kids® Toddler Cooling Vest] she is able to attend recess and PE with her friends at school and participate in other outdoor activities. The ice packs stay cool for a long time in 80-degree weather, we haven't tested it out in very hot weather yet." - Cynthia P. in Texas
