Ergodyne 12210 Phase Change Cooling Vest L/xl Khaki Fr

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 12210 is a phase change cooling vest designed to reduce heat stress for workers in high-temperature environments. Built from cotton with an arc-rated construction, it carries an ATPV rating of 7.1 cal/cm2 and meets ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E Category 1 standards, making it suitable for use in electrically hazardous work zones. The hook and loop front closure allows for quick donning and doffing. Sized for L/XL wearers with a chest measurement of 40 to 52 inches, this vest delivers up to 4 hours of active cooling per charge cycle. Electricians, utility workers, and industrial maintenance techs working near energized equipment or in hot confined spaces commonly reach for this vest.

The 12210 is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor work settings where heat stress is a concern and arc flash exposure is possible. Typical use cases include industrial facilities, utility work, construction sites, and any environment requiring NFPA 70E compliance. The phase change material absorbs body heat at a consistent temperature threshold, providing sustained cooling without relying on evaporation. This makes it effective even in high-humidity conditions where evaporative cooling alone falls short. It layers over or under standard work shirts depending on the job requirement.

Installation Notes

This vest is a wearable PPE item and does not require tools or mechanical installation. Cooling inserts should be charged per the manufacturer guidelines before use, typically by submerging in ice water or refrigerating. Ensure the vest does not interfere with other required PPE such as arc flash suits or high-visibility outerwear. Inspect the hook and loop closure and vest shell for wear or damage before each use in arc-rated applications.
