Other types of passive cooling vests <a href="https://www.activemsers.org/cooling-vest-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-90fpmc">include</a>:</p></div><div><ul><li><strong>Phase change heat-absorbing cooling vests:</strong> These vests do not feel cold to the touch. Instead of cooling the body down using ice packs, they use a material that absorbs heat and prevents the body from getting too hot. </li><li><strong>Phase change cooling vests:</strong> These vests contain liquid pouches that do not reach freezing temperatures but stay cool for longer than ice packs. </li><li><strong>Gel pack cooling vests:</strong> Similar to water-activated headbands for hot weather running, these cooling vests contain lightweight water-activated cooling components. </li><li><strong>Evaporative cooling vests:</strong> This type of vest essentially mimics sweating. People soak the vest in water, and the moisture slowly evaporates to help cool the body. It is not an ideal option for humid conditions, though. </li></ul></div><div><p>Active cooling vests are another option, but they require electricity to circulate chilled air to cool a person down.
