Body thermoregulation
Man is a homeotherm; a living being whose average, constant temperature is independent of the surrounding environment...
Resisting cold, adapting to heat, maintaining an internal temperature of around 37°C at all times, whatever our metabolic level or the temperature of the surrounding environment: this is the principle of thermoregulation.
The consequences of less efficient thermogenesis
When a person is exposed to the cold for too long, their body may become unable to maintain an adequate temperature to function properly. If the oral temperature falls below 35°C, the person is hypothermic.
Hyperthermia, on the other hand, is a rise in body temperature caused by an accumulation of heat. This phenomenon occurs particularly in the event of sunstroke or heatwave.
Why are we hot?
When we feel hot, it's often due to an increase in internal body temperature or exposure to hot environmental conditions. Thermoregulation is the mechanism that enables our body to maintain a stable temperature despite variations in the environment.
The normal body temperature of a healthy human being is generally maintained at around 37°C. Various physiological processes help regulate this temperature in hot weather.
When our body detects an increase in internal or external temperature, it triggers a series of responses to dissipate the heat and maintain body temperature within a normal range. Here are some of the mechanisms involved in thermoregulation:
-
Perspiration: When body temperature rises, the sweat glands produce sweat, which is then released through the skin pores. As the sweat evaporates, it absorbs body heat, helping to cool the body.
-
Vasodilation: Blood vessels on the skin's surface dilate, allowing more warm blood to circulate close to the skin. This promotes heat dissipation by convection, helping to cool the body.
-
Increased lung ventilation: When we're hot, our body can increase the rate of breathing, allowing more heat to be removed through exhalation.
-
Hormonal regulation: The hypothalamus, a region of the brain, plays a key role in thermoregulation. It detects temperature variations and coordinates the body's responses to maintain thermal equilibrium. It can, for example, stimulate the production of sweat or trigger the sensation of thirst to encourage water consumption and maintain hydration.
Some people may be more sensitive to heat, depending on their age, state of health or prolonged exposure to hot conditions. In extreme situations, thermoregulation may fail, leading to consequences such as dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. It is therefore essential to take appropriate precautions, such as staying hydrated, protecting yourself from the sun and avoiding strenuous activity during periods of high heat.
This advice is not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you find the heat particularly unbearable, consult your doctor.
The benefits of cooling garments
To (re)act when the body can't, we've developed a complete range of cooling garments and accessories to help reduce the sensation of heat and discomfort. These high-performance products are designed for anyone who takes part in outdoor activities in hot weather (athletes, outdoor workers, etc.).
Refreshing clothing for all uses
Professionals, athletes, summer outings enthusiasts... Many people are confronted with the heat and its risks when temperatures rise. To enable everyone to continue enjoying the outdoors in hot weather, while staying protected and cool, we've designed a range of cooling garments and accessories based on three innovative technologies: PHASECOOL, JADECOOL and POLYCOOL.
Professional use
Cooling jackets, cuffs, caps, caps, towels, chokers... Our cooling garments and accessories are designed to protect professionals exposed to heat, outdoors, on building sites, in vineyards, inside non-air-conditioned buildings or next to heat-generating equipment... and to help them work in conditions that are as comfortable as possible. Easy to use and developed to reduce the risk of heat-induced fatigue, regulate body temperature, absorb perspiration* and protect against UV* rays, our cooling range enables professionals to continue working while reconciling performance and well-being.

How does a cooling garment or accessory work?
Our cooling garments and accessories draw their effectiveness from three innovative, chemical-free technologies: JADECOOL, POLYCOOL and PHASECOOL. Simple to use, our products are designed to keep users cool and comfortable even in the hottest conditions .
JADECOOL technology
The secret behind the refreshing effect of our towels? Lechnology JADECOOL, based on the inlaying of jade micro-crystals. These micro-crystals accelerate the natural evaporation process by dissipating heat faster than they absorb it. The result: 15°C in an instant*; you feel an incredible wave of freshness on contact with your skin, accompanied by a significant reduction in your body temperature.
(product concerned: cooling towel)
POLYCOOL technology
Our evaporative cooling technology POLYCOOL evaporative cooling technology is based on a polymer fiber with exceptional properties. Highly absorbent, it retains water in the garment's lining without soaking and cools it down at an average temperature of 15°C. It prolongs the natural evaporation process, keeping you cool and comfortable even in the hottest conditions.
(products concerned: refreshing running sleeves, refreshing Saharan cap, refreshing headband, refreshing beanie, refreshing vest, refreshing SPORT vest)
PHASECOOL technology
Our PHASECOOL technology innovates through the use of a phase-change material (PCM). This device is able to switch intelligently between solid and liquid states, capturing heat from your immediate environment, such as your skin, while maintaining a stable temperature.
The result: A fast, stable feeling of freshness at 18°C or 21°C, depending on the product, while remaining dry.
(products concerned: cooling pack vest + cooling packs, cooling choker)
Why use cooling clothes?
With forecasters predicting a hot summer in 2023, with temperatures above the seasonal norm (+1.5°C), we wanted to bring a breath of fresh air with this new range of clothing and accessories and accessories. Easy to use, our refreshing range is aimed at all those exposed to the heat: outdoor professionals in hot environments, sportsmen and women, people on the move, festival-goers...
Cool, comfortable clothing
Our refreshing garments and accessories have been designed to combine coolness and comfort. With this in mind, POLYCOOL technology is based on the use of a polymer fiber that is both breathable and lightweight, allowing air to circulate freely around your body and keeping you cool.
Some of our products, such as the refreshing bandana or the refreshing Saharan cap, feature an absorption strip to rapidly wick perspiration and moisture away from your skin. This keeps your head dry and comfortable, even in the hottest conditions!
We've also placed great emphasis on freedom of movement when designing our garments. Our cooling garments using POLYCOOL technology, such as the cooling chasuble or the cooling sports vest, are made from a lightweight stretch fabric that allows you to move freely without any restrictions. What's more, the integration of a zip fastening, as on the cooling vest, means you can easily put on and take off the garment.
Our refreshing range is therefore particularly well suited to the needs of professionals and sports enthusiasts who require functional, practical clothing for their activities.
Clothing that cools and protects
Our cooling garments and accessories help maintain a comfortable body temperature, even in hot weather. By facilitating the regulation of perspiration and the evaporation of water once activated, they guarantee a feeling of freshness and reduce the risks associated with excessive heat.
For optimum protection in intense sunlight, our cooling towel and cooling sleeves feature integrated sun protection (UPF50+), providing an extra barrier against the sun's UV rays. A feature that helps reduce the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage!
