A focus on airflow
Alongside proper hydration and scheduled breaks, airflow has emerged as a highly effective means of reducing core body temperature. While airflow applied to any part of the body can offer relief, focusing it on the head delivers outsized benefits. The human head, which accounts for about 20% of the body's heat output, is a central hub for thermoregulation. It also produces large amounts of perspiration—often as much as the rest of the body combined. Your body sweats to regulate temperature. But if that sweat has nowhere to go, which is often the case in humid weather, it’s not helping you cool off.
Enter evaporative cooling
By facilitating the evaporation of sweat on the scalp and forehead, targeted airflow helps cool the head and, by extension, the entire body. This is the same principle behind covering your head in winter—just reversed. In hot conditions, allowing the head to shed heat effectively can make the difference between safety and a dangerous, even deadly, situation.
Introducing the Air Accelerator
Evaporative cooling is the foundational principle for Tigeraire product innovation. When you wear a Tigeraire Air Accelerator® product, your head's perspiration is continually evaporated and your head stays cool. The cooled blood flow then circulates down through the rest of your body, increasing comfort even in the hottest weather.
