Advanced Personal Thermoregulation System
This cutting-edge product consists in a personal thermoregulation vest to be worn under personal protective equipment (PPE) in microclimate. With the innovative combination of a convection element and a conduction element for cooling or heating, this system enhances the natural thermoregulation of the body by evacuating perspiration and keeping the skin dry. This patented product is exposed at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.
