SSAFA Cooling Ties

Product Information

The NEW SSAFA Forces Help DPM Patterned Cool Ties are available to order now.

These Cooling Ties contain small crystals that absorb and retain cold water. These crystals cool the blood that passes through the veins and arteries at the base of your neck, round the forehead and temples (or wherever they are worn on the body).

Cooling Ties are issued to the American Military as standard - and are seen as invaluable kit in hot climates. They have been shown to be able to lower core body temperature by as much as 15 degrees.

Cooling Ties can also be used as a hot or cold compress to lessen muscle soreness or inflammation. They easily wrap and tie around the neck, wrists, knees, shoulders, ankles etc. To activate a Cool Tie simply soak it in cold water for 30 minutes. To use it as a cold pack, towel dry the Cool Tie after soaking and place it around your forehead, neck, or any extremity. As the cold effect starts to fade you can "roll" the Cool Tie (approximately every 30 minutes) to reactivate the cooling effect. For best results refresh the Cool Tie with cold water before each use.

A Cooling Tie can also be used as a hot pack. To activate it place the Cool Tie in a microwave oven for 30 seconds, repeating this as needed to maintain the desired warmth. Do not, however, heat the tie by ironing it. Care should be taken after heating the tie as they can become very hot!

When not in use simply hang up the Cool Tie and allow to dry completely. Then store it anywhere. If you want to keep your Cool Tie ready for instant use, keep it in a cool place in an open container of cold water. ~(Cool Ties do need to "breathe")~

To clean, wash in cool soapy water, rinse, then hang it up to dry. You can re-use a Cool Tie thousands of times. These a very useful piece of kit for all our servicemen and women who are serving in the Middle East .

50p from every sale will go directly to SSAFA Forces Help!
