Enjoying your son’s, daughter’s, brother’s, sister’s, friend’s summer activities, or participating is sports and exorcise, seems like something that could never hurt you. However, people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have fear of going out in hot summer months, or exorcising, because this puts them at a high risk of a MS attack. Artic Heat USA originated in Australia, as the leading brand of Cold Vests (a vest that keeps your body temperature cooler for people with Multiple Sclerosis). The invention has been most commonly recommended by leading MS doctors such as: Dr. Corey Bloom, including research studiers for medicines such as Copaxone, as well as, the National MS Society.

There are many different brands of Cold Vests around the world. However, Artic Heat USA, has recently been given the title of the leading Cold Vest in not only Australia, but in the United States (US). The reason it has became so successful is that Artic Heat USA uses top of the line cooling material as well as ice packs. It was designed to take only minutes to recharge and leave you with hours to occupy it. The idea was originally for athletes, then the MS activists as well as patients with MS caught on and now it is a phenomenon. The vest can be used by all body types, because it comes in sizes XS – XXXL.

The Vest has saved many lives, however it still has few limitations. Patients with MS may have difficulty carrying the 2.2 pound vest for too long. As well it is bulky and clothes don’t fit over or under. Other problems such as leaking can occur. However, the positive aspects outweigh the negative.

Multiple Sclerosis has taken many lives and altered tragically others. If you have MS don’t deprive yourself of summer activities or exorcise because of the fear of an attack. Artic Heat USA has the answer for you. Today many people have been enjoying life with MS with no problems from the heat, you can do that too. Neurologists, scientists and societies recommend Artic Heat USA Cold Vest’s as well, studies have shown it works, start enjoying your summer today!

Today we are called the Millennium Kids. This means we want it all. However, with Artic Heat USA Cold Vest’s we are not getting it all. Announcing to the world that you have Multiple Sclerosis is a frightening thought, and you should have the choice weather to tell people. Wearing a Cold Vest made for people with MS is announcing that you have MS, and that is not fair. As well a bulky inaccessible vest robs us of fashion choices. Not to mention, MS is known to affect your muscles, carrying 2.2 pounds for more than an hour may not be the easiest. However, Cool Clothes is a fashion line from top fashion companies like, Ed Hardy and Volcom, teaming up with the leading brand of cooling material.

Cool Clothes combines top selling clothing companies and cooling thin cloth like material. Basically a clothing line designed for people with MS. A whole month starting at $60 which is less than a cold vest. As well the clothes can be reused and washed like normal clothes. No one will know that those are actually clothes that keep you cool. Making it so that no can know if you have MS, unless you choose to tell them. Cool Clothes gives you the choice! They come in sizes, XXS – XXXXXXXL and can come in infant, toddler, kids, juniors, and adults clothing as well in pajamas.

You are correct, that most patcients would be willing to do anything to stop an oncoming attack. However that is only representing adults with MS. Teenagers above anyone else will follow trends, and if it’s not in they won’t wear it. Cold Vest’s are not in, and it’s not fair that a child that is already dealing with MS will have to put aside personal style because of their disability. However, if it was at their best interest they would wear it. Should an individual have to give up something they like because of a disability? Is that giving that individual the same life as someone without the disease? No.

When walking into a room of strangers it is already an uncomfortable situation. When wearing a vest that practically tells the world that you have MS it is even more uncomfortable. Everyone has secrets and it has been a choice weather to tell.

Living with MS is already hard enough. Why make it harder with a vest that you have to charge before wearing? MS is known to cause memory problems. When you forget to charge your vest, you could be set minute’s late waiting for your vest to become cold again. However that is not the only problem with the actual design of the vest. Your natural body temperature will heat the vest as well as the temperature outside, causing it to melt, and possibly even leak; as well maneuvering in a soaking vest is extremely difficult. With Cool Clothes, there is no charging, and no ice packs, just cooling material. So there is no worry that it will leak.

Although, 2.2 pounds sounds like a lightweight invention, individuals with MS have muscle problems: cramps, aches, and weakness. 2.2 pounds for a 2 hour trip could be tiring and detrimental. Added weight is added heat. Although the vest is cold it does melt, and after melted it can become hot.

Cool Clothes gives you the choice! Cold Vest’s gives you little opportunity to express yourself or even keep some things secret. Today we want it all, and we’re not getting it. Right now is the time to get what you want, and market Cool Clothes!
