UPDATE: Greyhound Cooling Vests - GRVQ Edition 5 / Oct-Dec 2011 page 35 With the onset of warmer weather, a number of questions arise in relation to the optional use of cooling vests for greyhounds. Following discussions with the GOTBA, the Stewards have now approved the use of Canine Cooling Vests on Raceday: Trainers / Attendants will be permitted to use their own canine cooling vests at all times with their greyhounds, including when PARADING TO THE BOXES. The decision of whether or not to use a canine cooling vest will rest solely with the Trainer / Attendant, who will also be responsible for the vest at all times. |

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: It has been brought to our attention there is a copy or imitation of our original CoolChampions Greyhound Cool Coat. What really concerns us is an imitation vest could potentially HARM your Greyhound if you think the fabric is the same and/ or works the same as Silver Eagle's. Our Fabric All Silver cooling products (including CoolChampions Greyhound Cooling Vest) are made with a unique three-layer evaporative cooling fabric that works with the body's heat and tap water to improve upon the body's natural cooling process. Silver Eagle fabric can NOT be found in any other products. The core of the fabric's functionality is also the core of the fabric's three-layer composition: special hydrophilic fibers (fibers that attract water) and hydrophobic fibers (fibers that reject water) are combined into a thin, lightweight batting. This batting is sandwiched between a breathable outer shell fabric and a thermally conductive, inner lining to form three layers. The result is a cooling composite that is designed to hold an optimal amount of moisture without becoming over-saturated or soggy. This controls the weight of the garment when activated and optimizes the evaporation properties of the fabric. No chemicals, gels, cords or refrigeration are required to activate the cooling process. Activation Soaking Silver Eagle products in water for five to fifteen minutes activates the cooling process, charging the hydrophilic fibers of the batting with moisture. The hydrophobic fill evenly distributes and surrounds the charged fibers with air, creating an ideal environment for evaporation. The Cooling Process When in contact with the wearer’s skin, heat passes directly from the body and into the water-activated fabric. This heat is released to the outside environment in the form of evaporation. Together each layer carries out a particular action. Super-absorbent fiber core - A specially blended combination of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers which work to absorb, trap and distribute the optimal amount of water that is released over a period of time through evaporation. Water-resistant, thermally conductive inner Quick-dry, breathable outer shell |
