Oro Sports Coolhead Wrap - Adult

Truly a one size fits all, thanks to our design innovation team. Can be adjusted large enough for your head (up to 22"), or small enough for your neck (as small as 8").

The back concealed pocket holds one frozen CoolPak strip against the base of your head - or when worn around your neck, the CoolPak can be positioned at the back of neck - or at front, to cool blood at your carotid arteries.

Positioned at the base of your head, the CoolPak helps cool the blood enroute to your brain, where overheating occurs!

The Science

Cooling the neck has been shown to help improve performance, reduce sweating, and enhance the feeling of comfort1,2. Even this small area of the body will yield some surprising benefits from cooling.

Surface cooling depends primarily on how much surface area you can cover, where more is better. However, there are a few small areas on the body which provide unique responses to cooling. The back of your neck is one of those areas. The palms of your hands is another. Read more about palm cooling in our "CoolCuffs" section.

Oro Sports co-founder, Luanne DiBernardo, first started prototyping and testing cooling wearables in 2009 with her brother, a former DKNY designer with heat intolerance due to a chronic condition. At that time, the siblings focused on chronic conditions and wellness markets with their Signature Cooling Vest.

Increasing incidents of in heat injuries in competitive sports - combined with a demand for performance-enhancing products - Oro Sports was born.

Co-founder Tom Burns owns the manufacturing facility that has stitched every cooling product since the start. The dynamics of this working partnership places design and manufacturing under one roof. The culmination of experience, knowledge, talent, and process places Oro Sports ahead of the curve in quality, innovation, customer service, and product development.

Shining a light on the thermoregulation demands of competitive athletes, the Oro Sports Team is aimed to demonstrate that heat exhaustion and heat strokes are 100% preventable. And Oro Sports is 100% ready to change the performance game.
