Cool on Track® provides coolness on hot days and during hard workouts. The material cools efficiently by evaporating water.
What is Cool on Track?
Cool on Track® is a technical cooling material that effectively lowers surface temperature through water evaporation. The products cool efficiently by evaporating water, so no chemicals or freezers are necessary.
Cool on Track Benefits:
- Reduces the risk of heat stroke
- Supports well-being
- Easy to use
- Practical to take with you
- Environmentally friendly
Points for Consideration
- All Cool on Track products come essentially dry, yet during production, they are dampened to help maintain the integrity of the material.
- If the product is dry, please make sure the product is soaked before use. Bending the product before it is adequately moistened might result in product damage.
- If the product is dry, the first 'soaking' is the most important to ensure complete saturation of the material. The light blue material when properly soaked becomes darker and richer in color. After the first soaking, the product absorbs water more quickly and readily.
- As it relates to Quick Wraps, the product will start to 'dry' after about 20 to 30 minutes on the leg. Once the wrap becomes drier, the leg will become warmer. This cooling effect followed by a warming effect is actually a very good thing.
- When applying the wet/cold Quick Wrap to an overheated leg, the cold helps constrict blood vessels helping to move or push blood flow deeper into the tissues, this process is called vasoconstriction. When the Quick Wraps begin to dry, the opposite occurs, whereby the heat generated by the drying of the quick wrap on the leg brings an increase in blood flow to the affected area, this is called vasodilation. This process of vasoconstriction / vasodilation is a simple but very important process to understand.
- In practical use of the Cool on Track Quick Wraps, we recommend two approaches. A). For efficiency, having two pairs, one soaking in a bucket of water, while the other is in use is most practical and easiest to administer, or B). Have one pair on hand but have a hose close by so when the product dries out, you can leave the product on the leg and just hose it down.
Cool on Track Material Properties
The Cool on Track material has a similar consistency to sponge cloth for the kitchen. An outer layer of mesh protects the material, reinforces the product, and maintains its shape. The mesh material's breathability allows water to evaporate easily.
After first use, the material becomes stiff as it dries. Soaking the products softens them again so they can be continually reused. Please note that the product should not be bent or folded in a dry state, as small cracks may appear in the material, which can impair its absorbency.
Usage Instructions
Cool on Track material cools the surface area after three simple steps:
- Saturate water over the product (make sure the entire product is wet)
- Squeeze out excess water.
- Place the product where you want to cool.
Simply soak the product, squeeze out excess water, and it's ready to use. No chemicals are used for the cooling effect. The material retains its cooling capacity as long as it is wet.
The products are perfect for hot summer days, training, outdoor adventures, and holiday trips. Water is all you need to get a cooling effect, making these products easy and convenient to use anywhere.
Cool on Track products are designed for people, pets, and horses. They work as effectively and are just as comfortable for your animals, your family, and yourself.
Storage Instructions
We recommend one of the following two approaches when storing a Cool on Track product (coat, bandana, towel) for any length of time between uses.
- Dampen the product before storing it. After removing all excess water, place the product back in the original plastic zippered bag. If mold develops due to excess moisture, the product can be safely washed with soap and warm water before use.
- Place the Cool on Track product in a safe place and let it air dry. Before use, immerse the product in water to regain its flexibility. Do not attempt to bend Cool on Track when it is completely dry to avoid cracking the material.
Washing Instructions
Hand washes only, 30°C. Use sparingly with mild liquid detergent. No bleach or fabric softener. No dry cleaning. Do not iron. Do not tumble dry. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water.
