I just received the Nike Precool System in the mail and was wondering if any of you have heard about this product. It sounds to be very interesting and, as they bill it, could make a difference in your performance. Here is the only article I could find on it:
Precool vest
A jacket that contains ice packs in its lining to cool the body in the anticipated 40C heat of Athens. The idea is for endurance athletes to wear the Nike Precool vest for an hour before their event starts, to lower their core body temperature by 19% and as a result reduce the risk of debilitating heat injury.
The system I have doesn’t have ice packs rather you wet it and it cools your skin. Additionally it’s a two-part system. There is a sleeve less top and a jacket.
What are your thoughts?
