mitigate Heat Stress on the job
The Narwhals® are a portable and long-lasting palm cooling device that helps workers cool down quickly – even at tough, hot worksites.
Reduce heat stress by holding the Narwhals for 5+ minutes
Works on the go – no moving parts, nothing to electrically charge.
Lower body temperature via palm cooling even when wearing gear
Extend work capacity during high intensity work
Elevated core body temperatures lead to serious health risks
Increased risk of heat illness
Reduced cognitive functioning
Decreased work capacity
A more powerful way to cool down is within reach
Our palms are natural radiators for the body. They contain special vasculature for efficient offloading of heat.
By holding something cool (not cold), with good thermal conductivity, and a mechanism for avoiding thermal barriers, you quickly remove excess body heat, accelerating recovery and improving performance.
The Narwhals provide portable, long-lasting active cooling that works in the field and on the factory floor.
Robust & compact design
Lightweight & easy to carry
No moving parts or batteries
High thermal conductivity & continuous heat removal
Maintains correct temperature (~55°F / 13°C) for hours
Innovation in Heat Stress Mitigation for Firefighters
Many departments have primarily relied on hydration, turnout gear removal, and shade to help firefighters cool down and accelerate heart rate recovery. But use of a palm cooling device provides significantly better heat stress mitigation for the fire service. Dive into the science!
