Cooling vest

The 3Chill tec ™ is a 3-layer evaporative cooling system that regulates your dog’s temperature while keeping you aware when your dog's cooling gear is actively working or not. When water evaporates, it takes heat with it, helping your dog stay cool.

• Inner layer: The breathable 3D air-mesh efficiently transfers your dog’s body heat to the mid-layer.
• Mid-layer: The highly absorbent felt material holds and spreads water evenly across the vest. The more water it holds, the longer the cooling effect lasts.
• Outer layer: Facilitates evaporation and displays a cooling pattern while wet. Once the pattern disappears, the vest is dry and no longer cooling—simply re-wet it.

1. Wet the vest: Soak the vest in water, or for a faster effect, dunk it in a bucket or river. The cooling pattern will activate.
2. Put it on: Slide the vest over your dog’s head, secure the durable chest buckles, and adjust the elastic neck and chest straps for a snug, customized fit. A close fit ensures maximum cooling performance.
3. Go out with peace of mind: Your dog is now ready to face the heat comfortably.
4. Re-wet when needed: When the cooling pattern fades, simply wet the vest again to reactivate its cooling effect.

The Cooling vest is designed for thermoregulation during low-intensity activities or periods of rest. Engaging in high-intensity sports—such as pulling, canicross, or bikejoring—generates significant internal heat due to your dog’s increased muscle activity and elevated metabolic rate.

While the Cooling vest helps manage external heat, it cannot compensate for the rapid core temperature rise caused by intense exercise. In hot weather, this can lead to overheating despite external cooling measures.

To optimize your dog’s performance and safety:

• Use the Cooling vest before activity to pre-cool your dog’s core and provide initial relief.

• Use it during breaks to aid in temperature recovery.

• Avoid high-intensity sports during the hottest part of the day.

Always monitor your dog for signs of heat stress, and prioritize responsible training practices in warm weather.

A cooling vest can make a big difference on hot summer days when staying cool is essential, but that some outdoor or car trips are unavoidable. Whether you need to cross hot areas, like sun-exposed streets or open spaces, to reach cooler spots such as a park, or when working and service dogs must perform their duties regardless of the heat, a cooling vest helps your dog regulate their temperature more efficiently.

Certain dogs are also more prone to heat stress:

• Older dogs often struggle to cool themselves.
• Black-coated dogs absorb heat faster.
• Double-coated breeds (e.g., Huskies, Shepherds) benefit from additional cooling support.

In these situations, the Cooling vest provides your dog with reliable relief, helping them stay cool, comfortable, and safe.
