DeSoto Shield Del Sol Palm Coolers

Beneficial use:

Palm CoolersTM are easy to put on by rolling down the upper arms, slipping in the hands, and rolling back up the arms. The greatest advantage in palm cooling is running in heat. The purpose of this product is to keep your core body temperature from rising when “crossing that bridge” between aid stations that can provide ice, cold water, or cold sponges. Insert ice cubes directly into the palm area of the pocket one hand at a time. This product isn’t intended to act as or replace the safety features of a cycling glove. On the bike, there’s no proven palm-cooling benefit in keeping thumbs inserted alternatively, the arm coolers do provide skin protection by blocking UVB rays to the arms and back of the hands and keeping you cool.

Skin Cooler SDSTM (Shield Del SolTM)

Blocks 90% of UVB rays – When the human body gets hot, it sweats to cool itself. Prior to now, other brands have tried to help that process by developing fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin and expedite evaporation. For over 10 years now, De Soto has taken this concept a step further by the use of that moisture to create a cooling effect. YES! WE WANT YOU WET. Skin CoolerTM works by a series of channels knitted into light fabric. As these channels get wet, they absorb moisture and swell, which dissipates the heat making the fabric against your skin if truth be told cooler. How much cooler depends on factors including airflow, humidity, ambient temperature, and moisture temperature. When you sweat, the garment’s temperature drops and creates an actual cooling sensation. Skin Cooler SDSTM offers this cooling effect at the same time as offering even more sun protection.
Backed by medical research proving that cooling the palms and wrists results slows the rising of core body temperature, reduces onset of fatigue, and accelerates recovery time.
De Soto is the first to introduce this new version of Arm Cooler with a pocket system that covers almost all the hand. The design doubles the amount of fabric into a pocket around the hand where you’ll be able to insert ice or sponges, and blocks even more sun at the same time as reaping the aforementioned benefits.
Made of De Soto Skin Cooler fabric, it is breathable and dissipates moisture creating a cooling effect. Palm CoolersTM are easy to put on by rolling down the upper arms, slipping in the hands, and rolling back up the arms.
