Portwest CV28 Cooling Vest

Work smarter in hot conditions with the Portwest CV28 Cooling Vest. Designed to help minimise the effects of heat stress, this innovative cooling vest delivers long-lasting cooling comfort for workers operating in high-temperature environments. The vest uses advanced evaporative cooling technology to help reduce body temperature while maintaining comfort, flexibility and mobility during demanding workdays.

Whether you're working on a construction site, managing traffic, maintaining rail infrastructure, operating machinery, working in utilities, mining or performing outdoor maintenance, the CV28 helps provide much-needed relief when temperatures rise.

Activation is simple. Soak the vest in clean cold water, remove excess moisture and wear it over your workwear. The specialist cooling material gradually releases moisture through evaporation, helping keep the wearer cooler for up to 8 hours. No batteries, ice packs or external power are required.
