Ultimo™ Cooling Vest

I'm so thrilled to have found a way to stay cool (cooler, anyway) in oppressive Florida summers and the extreme humidity. The vest works perfectly and stays cool for a few hours, enough for a good workout or run outdoors, even midday. I also purchased the headbands and cuffs when I'm doing a shorter workout or even just doing yard work. I plan on getting the cooling products for my dog too. The customer service is stellar as well and they'll answer questions about fit, etc. So glad I found them!

With our Arizona heat, this is perfect for outdoor activities during the summer.

During our sports physical for our son, our pediatrician recommended using a cooling vest for summer sports practices and runs. We tried several from Amazon and they were just horrible. Found the Oro Sports vest and it was 'love at first run'. The vest is soft and stretchy and the velcro closure allows you to form it right to the body. It fits like a cooling hug, is surprisingly light, and stays cold for hours. My son reports being able to run longer and is just so much more comfortable in the Florida heat. He plans to wear it under his jersey for games and has already told his teammates about the vest. I feel so much better about him not overheating. Florida requires that parents complete a course and sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of death and organ injury from heat illness in youth sports and it was terrifying. This is a simple solution to keeping youth athletes safe.

Exceeds Expectations
This is a review on the Ultimo cooling vest, for use with indoor workouts. Interesting as my original reason for getting the vest for an outdoor July concert in Michigan. I have ZERO tolerance for Summer, Heat & Humidity. To date: 6-29-24, I have had my Ultimo Cooling Vest for about 10 days and wanted to try it for indoor workouts, as I overheat easily. Test one was at Planet Fitness on the Stairmaster, which I have done twice so far. OMG, I felt incredibly cool the entire time. I only drank 50% of what I usually drink on the demanding workout. I also wore the cooling headset, which I never knew existed. The ice held out easily. The small ice in the back of the headband also held out. I didn’t need what I use to use for years which was a cooling towel, that you wet, put on your neck and pull every so often. I felt extra energized. The conditions in planet fitness were average as there was extreme Temps and humidity as a result of a recent June heat wave.
Test #2 Arms & Chest insides in my basement.
At first I was a little concerned about the extra 5 pounds of weight from the cooling vest, but it was no issue, and just allowed my heart to work a little harder and burn more calories. I was on the ground with pushups and other routines, and using a TRX, and a total gym, on my back, and on my stomach, all with the cooling vest on. Unbelievable how much extra energy I had from not overheating, and being cool the entire time. 2 hours and 12 minutes with stretching. I also use to use straight ice, which I used on my left shoulder in between sets, no need anymore and no need to dry off the sweat from my forehead as there wasn’t any.
Test #3 Core workout, indoors in m y basement. 2 hours and 20 minutes, cooling vest and cooling headband. Constantly on ground and in different positions that require flexibility, went perfectly. On the Total Gym, there were maybe 2 moves that I might experiment with and take the vest off for these, where I am on my back. Either way, this extreme Core workout requires the most flexibility and is very difficult, and the cooling vest helped me nail it, never overheated, a huge win, and a definite must using the cooling vest for every workout.
I wash the cooling vest on delicate, every 3-uses. The i9ce is super easy to get in to the vest, 2 strips in front and 2 in back. This Ultimo vest has a strong velcro that easily pulls into place.
The level of service from Luanne is something I could write a whole complete review on. Over the top, beyond outstanding, and something that’s next to impossible to find, including being easily accessible by phone to answer questions and email.
I ordered cooling gloves which I will review along with outdoor use as well.
I love backups, and plan on getting a second vest.
Thanks Luanne and ORO Sports you are beyond amazing.

I used this headband, the cool cuffs and a vest. I did 4 exercises (1 set to failure with each).
I paced myself as I have come to learn that the primary reason for failing is because of the heat generated from glycogen oxidation in the muscle cells which then enters the core and heats everything up. So, by keeping your core chilled using your thermal points via the products above mentioned that I used. I also thought to use gel ice packs and wrapped them around my quads for my squats. Each time I felt that I was on my last rep. I'd rack the bar for about 10, then 15, etc till 30 sec as the reps increased. I doubled my expected reps with my squats using these products! Worth EVERY PENNY! I over doubled my upper body exercise rep counts. You fail because of heat generated, as it prevents the enzymes responsible for catalyzing a contraction to work. Keep them cold, and you can continue far past what you believed you previously could!
I will never strength train without these products!
