Chris Bohannan was instrumental in helping bring in Zoot arm coolers with Xylotol (sweetener used in chewing gum) built-in, which brings a cooling sensation when wetted. He goes into that science and even more in this interview about whether body cooling vests, gloves, compression gear, etc. actually works, and how it may work. You'll learn: The advantages to keep the body more cool than it may be able to achieve on it's own - before, during or after exercise... How body cooling devices and gear work... Who shouldn't use body cooling devices... What type of people use this gear, and in what situations... How much you can expect to spend on things like body cooling gloves or vests.... Whether you can "hack" body cooling by skipping gear and devices and simply doing things like cold water soaks, eating ice, dumping cold water on head, etc., and how it compares to using engineered body cooling gear. ----------------------------------------------------- Special Announcements -Until January 22nd only, you still have a chance to check out Chef Todd's "Giving Away the Farm" post-holiday sale.
