Cooling Cuff
Price: $34.95
As a veteran-owned business, Cooling Cuff is solely focused on helping your body cool down properly. Cooling Cuffs lower your body temperature by cooling the blood on the underside of your wrist. The cooler blood circulates to cool down your entire body. Cooling the body at the wrist can alter thermoregulation, rapidly lower core body temperature and quickly restore temperature homeostasis. That means athletes can train longer and run faster without using all their energy to cool down. It’s perfect for workouts, outdoor activities or just staying cool during those hot summer days.
