IXS Bodycool jacket Grey

In the context of hot summer rides and attempts to keep your head and the rest of your body cool: IXS developed a whole range of 'Bodycool' products that make that their main goal.

With success, because this Bodycool vest uses the airflow and present moisture to cool the skin. How does it work?

You immerse the jacket in water for two minutes, make sure it doesn't drip too much and put it on. That's it. The evaporation of the water does the rest, pretty much on its own. For up to eight hours. The ambient temperature, whether you are riding, the humidity ... they all have an influence, but in general the physics is always the same. You put on a well-ventilated motorcycle jacket over this, just to be clear. You want to create airflow.

This Bodycool vest is not a full-fledged motorcycle jacket! IXS uses antibacterial material to keep this vest - essentially a kind of bodywarmer but reversed - comfortable and healthy. The bottom half is mesh and allows for a bit more movement.

Is water - wet, dripping, brrr - an obstacle? There is also a 'dry' version of this Bodycool vest.
