Ergodyne 12200 Phase Change Cooling Vest S/m Khaki

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 12200 is a phase change cooling vest designed to reduce heat stress for workers in high-temperature environments. It fits chest sizes 32 to 40 inches and features a hook-and-loop front closure for fast on-and-off during the workday. Built from cotton, this vest carries an ATPV rating of 7.1 cal/cm2 and meets ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E Category 1 standards, making it appropriate for arc-flash-rated applications. It delivers up to 4 hours of active cooling per charge cycle. Electricians, HVAC technicians, utility workers, and industrial tradespeople working near energized equipment or in confined hot spaces are the primary users.

This vest is suited for both indoor and outdoor work environments where elevated ambient temperatures create heat stress risk. Typical applications include electrical panel work, boiler room service, rooftop HVAC installation, and industrial maintenance. The arc-flash compliance makes it a fit for NFPA 70E-governed job sites where workers must maintain FR-rated PPE. The cotton construction meets FR fabric standards required under ASTM F1506.
