Product Information

What would you do if your colleague showed up to an outdoor jobsite wearing a fan-puffed white jacket in the middle of the summer? From what I have seen people trying to cool down is via wearing hats, wet neck towels, or splash water on the head here and there. Any airflow is an improvement, but it may not be enough in some cases to offset wearing another layer with long sleeves. Despite the fact that I’m originally from Florida and ought to be used to sweltering and humid conditions, I feel like I run hot most of the time. I should note, if you wring out the evaporative cooling vest as much as possible, it doesn’t really make you wet.

But compared to their cordless fan jackets and full-body cooling vest, this new model is much closer to what I would imagine cordless battery-powered cooling workwear looks like. I’ll be honest, I was so super-psyched when I finally got my hands on the new Makita Cooling Jacket.
