Arctic Heat White Ice Vest — Lightweight Cooling Vest for Athletes, Workers & MS

The Arctic Heat White Ice Vest brings the same world-class lightweight gel cooling technology as our original blue vest — now in white for athletes in white kit, healthcare and hospitality workers, equestrian riders, and anyone who needs a cooling vest that disappears under a white uniform or show shirt.

Trusted by Olympic athletes, people with Multiple Sclerosis, and outdoor workers across the USA since 2003. Used at six Olympic Games from Athens 2004 to Paris 2024. At just 2.2 lbs, it's the lightest cooling vest of its type — and the entire garment is the cooling element, with no separate ice packs or inserts to manage.

Sizing guide — measure around the chest

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

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.
