My name is Jaleen Roberts. I am a 4x Paralympic Track & Field Medalist, 8x World Championship Medalist, and mental health advocate. In 2021, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. One of the medications that I take greatly decrease my tolerance for heat. With having many competitions in hot/humid environments, it is vital for me to have cooling equipment in order to regulate my body temperature. Last July, I was in Florida for Paralympic Trials - I’m sure you can imagine just how hot it was. The Coolsport Vestino was PERFECT for me to wear during my warm-up as it is light weight and keeps my backside very cool while doing drills and stretching. During my long jump competition, I opted to use the Ultimo Cooling Vest in order to cool off before and in between my jumps. Had I not had the cooling gear, I wouldn’t have been able to been able to withstand the weather which may have affected my performance. I’m so grateful for Oro Sports for providing me with such necessary and beneficial equipment, and being a part of my sports journey!
These vest are absolutely amazing. My daughter is a soccer keeper and finds these vests great at keeping her core temperature down before a game. She finds it’s a great way to cool down during the games also.
Highly recommend these .
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.
