Arctic Cool’s Hydrofreeze X Technology


IT WORKS!  I set out to test and see if the Arctic Cool’s Hydrofreeze X Technology would work as an undershirt of my cycling jersey. It does.  Of course, it is because of the air flow while on the bike provides.  I use the Spruzza Mist, cycling unit misting system, to keep it damp. 
The shirt works great for running and while sweating in the heat during outdoor gym workouts. 
Summer is on its way and staying cool during workouts is a must. In the gym or outdoor training sessions can be aided with the help of wearing Arctic Cool gear.  Activated by sweat or adding a spray of water starts the process.  The fabric is moisture wicking.  Arctic Cool’s fabric with Hydrofreeze X Technology wicks the moisture away from your body and in turn uses it to activate the fabrics cooling properties. The fabric material is made of 94 percent polyester and six percent spandex while treated to be anti-microbial.  Wash and care of the fabric can be washed in the machine with cold water and like colors. They say it can be put in the dryer but with all my technical clothing I prefer to just hang and let air dry.

Before heading out on a hot evening running, a simple soaking of the shirt in water and ringing out, the cooling effect of the shirt kicks in also.  Humidity and sweat rate, the length of how long the shirt stays wet, or damp, all play a part in how long the cooling lasts.  The wicking of sweat, will keep the shirt activated. 

With summer heat, Arctic Cool gear is a must have to stay cool. 





After a hot mountain bike ride last Saturday, temperatures hit the low 90’s.  I stopped by my vehicle and grabbed the Arctic Cool, Instant Cooling Towel, which measures 27 inches by 15 inches.  I soaked the towel with water, rung it out and tucked in around my neck with some of it going down in my jersey.  The cooling effect kicked in and felt great.  A nice wind, of moving on the bike, as well as the wind blowing already helped the cooling effect of the towel really work.

The Heat is Here! Combat it NOW!

Summer has arrived and it's time to attach the Spruzza Mist unit back onto my ride. 
It is a misting system that is mounted and used on my bike. The bracket can be mounted to the underside of the stem on any bicycles handlebars, road bike, tri bike or even a mountain bike. Summer is upon us here in the Sonoran Desert. 



Spruzza is a misting device you squeeze the trigger and allows you to angle the head of the unit so the mist hits your face, neck, or chest, cooling your body down.  The five ounce water reservoir can provide up to 300 squirts of the water mist, so there is plenty usage before having to refill.  After initially setting up the Spruzza on your handlebars, which is very quick and easy to install and comes with all necessary parts to do so. The Spruzza can be removed quickly if you decide you don’t need it for the ride you are going on.  A small “cleat” still stays on the bike with the zip ties attached to it, but the water reservoir and trigger sprayer come off.  The water reservoir is also easy to remove and refill.  The Spruzza delivers a two to three inch diameter spray pattern. 

                       

Check back, as a group ride, with the sweet option to test drive one of these units is right around the corner.
