Top 9 Military Cooling Vests

Bluhalo is the newest, most lightweight, comfortable, effective product on the market for aiding in ventilation and cooling beneath body armor. Designed by a Chicago police officer specifically for police, military and security personnel. Bluhalo can be added to almost any protective vest with the provided velcro patches and easily removed for cleaning. Bluhalo provides cooling on demand with the ability to be inflated with the small hand pump whenever heat bulids up. Bluhalo creates over an inch of space between the body and the vest allowing cooling airflow beneath the vest. Once heat has dissipated and sweat has dried, simply deflate and Bluhalo lies completely flat and is undetectable for maximum comfort. Pump can be attached or removed for storage in a pocket or elsewhere. Bluhalo is a combination of the words Blue and Halo because of the Blue oval which goes on over the wearer’s head.
