Abstract:

A wearable cooling apparatus for cooling a person's body with ice packs includes a primary sleeve having walls that, together, define an interior space. The primary sleeve includes a closed first end blocking access to the interior space and defining an open second end configured to allow the ice packs to be inserted sequentially into the interior space. While the outer, upper, and lower primary sleeve walls may include insulation so as to resist a thermal energy transfer out of the interior area, the inner sleeve wall is not insulated and allows thermal transfer to the skin of a wearer. The primary sleeve includes a fastener for selective attachment to a garment. A plurality of auxiliary sleeves may be attached to the garment and worn on a person's torso. The primary sleeve may have an elongate configuration and include fasteners for use as a cooling belt apart from the garment.
