Heat-related illness is when your body’s temperature control system is compromised. Your body normally cools itself by sweating. But under some conditions, sweating just isn’t enough and your body temperature rises rapidly. When the humidity is high, sweat will not dry as quickly. This prevents your body from releasing heat quickly. Very high body temperatures can damage your brain or other vital organs.
The Polar Pod mobile cooling station has been tested by fire rescue teams, SWAT teams and police departments in the demanding summer environments in multiple locations in Florida. You can be sure our mobile cooling station is engineered to handle the toughest conditions your team will encounter.
Nothing compromises athletic performance like heat. Muscular reflexes slow, maximum power capability declines, the cardiovascular system is stressed and even cognitive ability is lowered. The Polar Pod environment with its’ low temperature and humidity is designed to maximize the rate of recovery among athletes experiencing heat illness.
One of the main reasons people leave outdoor events is because they are overheated and can no longer enjoy the activity. How can you keep them there to enjoy your event? By relaxing for 5- 10 minutes in the The Polar Pod. Designed specifically to quickly and safely cool an individual’s body core making them feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

"I'm a recent IronMan finisher who's in pretty good shape and yet, yesterday's elements kicked my butt. Anyway, I'm quite certain I would have passed out and/or vomited had it not been for The Polar Pod. Within a couple of minutes of sitting inside The Polar Pod my core body temperature dropped and I felt much better. In fact, I went on to run in the 5K with my family at 5:00 pm; about an hour after literally stumbling into you. I'm convinced this would not have been possible had it not been for your invention.
