Kryo Vapor Aviation Cooling Vest
Made from two layers of comfortable, flame-resistant, hi-tech blend of 70% Modacrylic, 23% Tencel, and 7% Lycra knit, the fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking, and anti-microbial. You will wear the vest with one layer of smooth, comfortable fabric next to your skin. Another layer covers the tubing to protect it from damage. The vest’s four-direction knit gently hugs the tubing close to your body to keep you cool.
They have over 120 feet of tubing to provide great cooling and they connect to the vapor-compression chiller with Kryo’s patented Flo-Lok® quick disconnect. Push the Flo-Lok coupling together. Push a button and it disconnects. For emergency egress, it disconnects when you pull on it with 10 pounds of force.
Aviation Cooling Vests, with Velcro® hook-and-loop tabs on the shoulders and sides, are easy to put on, take off, and adjust to your size.
Features
Flame-resistant Features
● Flame-resistant modacrylic fabric
● Flame-resistant self-extinguishing tubing
Cooling Features

Kryo Cools Better
Engineering – Kryo cooling garments are engineered to provide the best combination of effective cooling and comfort. They have been extensively tested in our heat test chamber using a heated sweating mannequin that simulates the human body under heat stress.
Tubing Pattern – Kryo’s tubing pattern concentrates the tubing on the front and back of your body core to maximize your cooling. The tubing is spaced so that the cooling effect is distributed evenly over your entire body core.
More Tubing– Kryo averages 80 feet of water tubing, double the amount used by some manufacturers. More tubing means more cooling.
More Circuits – Kryo uses eight water circuits, twice as many as some manufacturers. Eight circuits distribute the cooling water more evenly and send it back to the chiller as soon as it has absorbed your body heat.
Hi-tech Manifolds – Kryo gathers the tubing into a high-performance flexible manifold that has a lower water pressure drop and 10% more water flow than other manifold designs. It is so innovative that it is protected by Patent No. 9,399,149 “Flexible Fitting for Heat Exchanging Garments:”
Innovative Tubing – Kryo’s matte-finish tubing is fire-retardant and self-extinguishing. The tubing is 0.096″ ID and 0.156″ OD, the exact dimensions identified by researchers as the best combination of cooling effect and comfort.
Dry Release – Water hose couplings are dry release. The flow of water stops when they are disconnected.
Quick Release – Hose couplings are emergency release. They should automatically release when you pull on them one-by-one. They may not automatically release if you pull on two couplings at the same time.
