Relieve Pressure Point Pain and Get Cooling Relief from the Heat in Your ACH Advanced Combat Helmet.

Combat proven, the Cool-Aid™ ACH Insert COOLS and CUSHIONS the scalp. Cool-Aid™ uses the process of evaporation technology to cool the scalp and reduce heat fatigue. Sewn chambers filled with moisture absorbing polymer particles soak up water in 10-15 minutes, expand to a plump gel-like material for cushioned comfort. Insert Cool-Aid in your helmet and you're good to go. Refreshes with a brief re-soak for all day cooling. Recommended for Training Use. (Army regs require the the use of the 7 issued Mil-spec pads in combat helmets.)  

Background: One of the biggest factors in a Soldier's ability to be effective in a high heat environment is the potential to overheat and become a casualty. As every Soldier knows, new technology such as the 7-layer ECWCS sysetm has been introduced to more effectively keep them warm, but until now no one has developed affordable products to keep you cooler in hot environments. All Soldiers know that there is nothing more uncomfortable than having to wear combat helmets for more than an hour. It becomes extremely uncomfortable with the trapped heat adding heat stress to an already difficult day.  

How the Cool-Aid™ Combat Helmet Insert Works: Through the natural process of evaporation, the Cool-Aid Insert cools the scalp of the wearer providing measureable cooling comfort. The hydrated crystals become gel-like, adding the right amount of cushioning thickness to make it a perfect substitution for the large crownpad. To renew cooling, simply remove the insert, spray, dribble or re-soak with fresh water to improve the cooling effect. For an extra blast of cooling you can refrigerate or freeze the hydrated Thermotux® Cool-Aid™.
