Performer vests in size Medium are currently sold out. We expect new stock to arrive in the first week of December.

The EZCooldown Performers PCM Cooling vest is specially designed for actors, cosplayers, LARPers, fursuiters, and other costume performers. You can however use this cooling vest under any clothing to help preventing heat stress.


The Performers PCM cooling vest provides hours of cooling comfort and helps you maintain a healthy core temperature. Each vest includes 4 PCM packs that can be quickly activated in your fridge, freezer or in ice water and can be re-used over and over again. Once activated, the PCM maintains a steady and low temperature for a long time, offering comfortable cooling relief, even during strenuous activities in high-temperature environments.

The EZCooldown Performers vest is made from thin yet durable polyester mesh, which doesn’t add a thermal insulating layer to your outfit.

The vest features four interior pockets, allowing you to place two PCM packs on your chest and two on your lower back. Changing the inserts for a set of fresh ones can be done in minutes. 

With an extra set of PCM packs, you can rotate between them and stay cool all day, wearing one set in your cooling vest while the other set is being activated in the fridge or freezer.

You can also store activated sets in a cooler or insulated bag. They’ll remain cold and ready to use for up to 12 hours.

The Performers vest is easily adjustable with 4 Velcro straps and 2 closures on the shoulders, ensuring a perfect fit for each individual wearer. This snug fit makes the vest virtually invisible under costumes, adding only 5.5 cm (2.17”) to the chest circumference when using the thin eight-cell PCM packs, and 6.2 cm (2.44”) when using the thicker four-cell PCM packs.

Each Performers vest comes with a free laundry bag and a comprehensive user manual.



Please note that standard T-shirt sizes do not apply to this vest. The Performers vest is available in three sizes, each with significant overlap. This ensures that as long as you fall roughly within the range of a particular size, the vest will fit you comfortably.

Phase Change Material (PCM) Cooling Packs

Choosing a PCM Temperature

When you need maximum cooling for a short amount of time, choose the blue 15°C (59°F) PCM packs.
When you prefer longevity over absolute cooling ability, go for the yellow 21°C (70°F) PCM packs.
Next to these standard temperatures, we manufacture PCM inserts in other temperatures on request, ranging from 6.5°C (43°F) to 29°C (84°F). Please contact us for details.

Choosing a PCM Configuration

As well as different temperatures, we offer PCM packs in two different configurations:
The 8-cell packs are thin and flexible. They’ll fit under virtually any costume but offer less cooling longevity compared to the 4-cell packs.

The 4-cell packs contain approximately 35% more PCM so they’ll keep you cool for longer.
They’re a bit thicker though, so they’re less suitable under skin tight costumes.

Dog walker in North Carolina Summer Heat

I am a professional dog walker and pet sitter since 2006 in North Carolina USA. Used my cool down vest for the first time today with the 69 degree gel packs inside. I wore the vest over my t shirt and it fit nicely using the velcro straps. I bought a medium since I am 5' 9" tall. Good day to test the vest as the temperature was 93 degrees and humidity over 60%. (Will get hotter than that come summer). I drive between all my dog walks and have to keep getting in a hot car and then walks with dogs in sun/shade on pavement. I found that the chill packs defrosted & became liquid after 3 hours of wearing in high heat outside plus me exercising in them. I bought extra packs which I brought in my cooler and did a fast switch in my car and was good to go again. I bought an extra set of chill packs. The chill packs I took out of my vest had refrozen within 45 minutes of being placed back in the cooler next to chilling blocks. I have a huge smile on my face that I found something that is going to help me beat the heat this summer. Thank you for this great product! (I bought a size large for my son who is over 300 lbs and is going to wear his at cons for fursuiting. The large fit him perfectly)

Works for reenactors, too

I am a World War II historical reenactor, and I wear a heavy wool uniform that can be very uncomfortable in the summer heat. I've worn the cooling vest with the yellow inserts at a couple of events now, and I can really feel the difference. Even after a few hours when the packs are no longer frozen, it still feels cooler to have them against my torso. I would recommend this vest to fursuiters, cosplayers, and reenactors as well.

As advertised

So I just recently got a vest with 6-cells from a friend. I live in the desert and the average city temp is around 95ºF year around. I do tend to profuse heat in my core more than the average person and pretty much have to be colder than most people can stand. This vest is perfect for when others don't want the AC going and I need to be cold and makes being outside finally enjoyable again. I can attest even in the desert the 6-cells do last ~90 minutes - 2 hours before they are completely room temperature. Now I'm just waiting on my suit to finally get here to try it out full costume.considering buying a second pack of 4-cell for at-home lounge use.
