ColdVentures, a medical device company specializing in heat-related illness prevention, is partnering with the Providence Hood and Portland To Coast ("Hood To Coast") Relays to enhance safety for participants, employees, and volunteers.

The company is providing its innovative ColdVests, FDA-approved Class 1 medical devices, to the 198.5-mile race from Mount Hood to the Oregon coast.

The ColdVest utilizes advanced cooling technology to rapidly lower core body temperatures by up to five degrees within minutes.

This quick cooling effect is crucial for preventing serious harm in individuals experiencing heat stroke, who have a limited timeframe before permanent damage can occur.

The extreme heat experienced in Oregon this summer has highlighted the need for effective safety measures in high-demand events like the Hood To Coast Relay. ColdVest will be integrated into the event’s safety protocols to address heat-related risks.

Featuring patented endothermic cooling technology, ColdVest operates without electricity, refrigeration, or ice.

Users simply add three liters of liquid to the vest's bladder, which activates internal cooling chemicals to provide immediate relief. For more information, visit coldvest.com.

The Hood To Coast Relay will take place on August 23-24, 2024.
