Polar Skin Ice Sheets
Polar Skin Ice Sheets are the main component for the NAR Polar Skin Cooling System. The body-sized sheet (standard size: 36″ x 30″; large size: 36″ x 60″) promotes thermo-regulation through evaporative cooling. The Polar Skin Mini-Mesh™ and ArcticAqua™ technology work together to support an evaporation, convection, and conduction cooling system. The rugged, foil pouch prevents air and moisture transfer to keep sheets viable.
Polar Skin Ice Sheets Features
- Polar Skin Mini-Mesh – A unique smart textile treated with a hydrofunctional polymer. Fiber construction allows for liquid absorptive capacity 350% greater than basis weight.
- ArcticAqua – A proprietary solution that prevents rigidity well below 0°F while providing the requisite moisture to support evaporative, convective, and conductive cooling.
- Principle cooling component of Polar Skin™ cooling systems
- Unique fiber construction allows for liquid absorptive capacity 350% greater than basis weight
- Excellent thermal transmittance and moisture vapor transmission rate
- Adheres to current National Athletic Trainers’ Association and U.S. Army protocols for heat illness treatment
- Proven effectiveness by the University of Tennessee Nonwovens Research Lab
- Allows for full access to the body while cooling
