The System

How It Works

Two cooling mechanisms working together — one blasting cool air to the back of your neck and head, and the other cooling your head by sitting on it — a soft, oval-shaped cold gel pack that fits inside a baseball cap or hat and will cool your head instantly — a KOOLNUT.

Your Personal Air Cooling Backpack

1
Fan pulls warm air through 3 frozen ice bricks at the base
2
Air chills inside the foil-lined insulated chamber
3
Cold air exits the top of the backpack aimed directly at the back of your neck and head

The Secret Weapon

The Hat Cape System

The bucket hat comes with a removable neck cape that drapes down over the top opening of the backpack — sealing in the cold airflow and concentrating it around your neck, face, and shoulders.

It transforms the backpack and hat into a fully enclosed personal microclimate system that goes wherever you go.

The Science

Your Hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is your brain's built-in thermostat. It monitors your core temperature and triggers sweating and vessel dilation to cool you down. But when the hypothalamus itself overheats, the whole system can fail.

The brain is one of the body's highest-circulation organs. Cooling the head directly gives your hypothalamus the support it needs to regulate your entire body temperature more effectively.

Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency that begins at 104°F (40°C). Symptoms include confusion, slurred speech, seizures, and coma. KOOLNUT's dual system targets the problem at the source — before symptoms ever begin.
