"As hazardous levels of heat and humidity become more common, a personal cooling garment could help to protect wearers' health."
"A battery-powered garment embedded with squishy, water-laden gel could help people to work in extreme heat and humidity1."
Rising occurrences of hazardous heat and humidity increase risks to health and limit safe working conditions. A battery-powered personal cooling garment embeds soft, water-laden gel to provide localized cooling and reduce thermal strain on the body. The gel's capacity to hold and release water-based cooling enables temperature regulation without large external systems, keeping the garment flexible and wearable. Portable power supports active cooling control suited to environmental severity and user needs. Wearable cooling can extend safe work time, protect thermoregulation, and mitigate heat-related health harms in hot, humid environments.
