HVAC workers work in the highest temperatures of all building technicians

HVAC technicians work often in attics for extended periods of time. The working conditions are not only uncomfortable but also dangerous. The original HeatShieldT was designed originally to protect firefighters and became widely used by heating and air-conditioning workers. The HeatShield IIT  is now designed to better fit their needs.

The HeatShield II now can be equipped with a mounted tool belt to carry necessary tools without the weight shifting around the waist when working in confined spaces. Also optional Leggings are now available for very hot attics to add a measure of safety. The patent pending leggings double the effective cooling by covering more area and protecting from the heat.

The new CM2000T vest with the front zipper and quick loading inserts is an equal choice for hot attics. It has the added advantage of being virtually indestructible and rip proof. Although the tool belt is not designed for this vest, it is a good choice for bigger guys.

Both vests can be worn with the Leggings and both vests can be used equally with the Summit FreezerT to keep two people cool for an eight hour shift.

Both vests use our pat. pending Multi-Poly phase mylar cooling modules. These inserts can be use in the vests in layers or swapped out as the layers become expended. Each vest comes with the necessary four inserts shipped DryPack. It is strongly recommended that an extra set of inserts be ordered so that when extra time is needed it is available.

Both the HeatShield II and the CM2000 vest use a patened technology to reduce the moisture next to your skin. This eliminates damp clamminess feeling of other vests. The vest duration is dependent on how hot it is and how big the worker is and what he is doing but most use one set of insets in the morning and another in the afternoon.

The cooling inserts for the HeatShield IIT easily fit into a common freezer and a custom cooler is available as another option to keep fresh charged cooling inserts for later in the afternoon.
