What is the CoolMitt?

The CoolMitt is a device designed to cool the body's core temperature and the muscles. It is essentially a mitt or glove into which one places their hand. The hand makes contact with a surface inside the mitt that cools it, thereby cooling the body through a specialized portal. It operates at a temperature that is cool but not ice cold, as excessively cold temperatures can lead to vasoconstriction and seal up the heat portals one is trying to utilize. Typically, the device is used by individuals for about three minutes to maximize benefits, as per the recommended protocol discussed during experiments 1.
