Arctic Heat Blue Ice Vest — World's Leading Lightweight Cooling Vest

The Arctic Heat Blue Ice Vest is the world's favourite lightweight body cooling vest — trusted by Olympic athletes, people with Multiple Sclerosis, outdoor workers, and endurance sports teams across the USA since 2003. Used across six Olympic Games from Athens 2004 to Paris 2024, it's the proven choice when heat management and performance matter most.

Unlike heavy phase-change vests loaded with ice packs, the entire Arctic Heat vest is the cooling element — a non-toxic, biodegradable viscose gel woven into the garment itself. Lightweight at just 2.2 lbs. No bulky inserts. No separate ice packs. Just freeze, wear, and stay cool for up to 2 hours.

Sizing guide — measure around the chest

The ice vest should fit firmly against the body. If between sizes, choose the smaller size for best contact and cooling.

How to activate your ice vest

Soak in cold water for 10 minutes until gel pockets swell firm. Gently wring out excess water and towel dry. Place in a freezer or cooler until ready to use. See the full activation guide for step-by-step instructions.
