Cooling vests with phase change materials: the effects of melting temperature on heat strain alleviation in an extremely hot environment
TL;DR: The results showed that the PCM vest with a lower melting temperature has a stronger cooling effect on the torso and mean skin temperatures than that with a higher melting temperature, and both PCM vests mitigate peak core temperature increase during the resting recovery period.
