Abstract:
1. A body cooling apparatus for cooling the body of a wearer comprising: a body garment including a supporting layer of material; a tubing network having interconnected tubing; said tubing network supported to said supporting layer of material; a connector on said tubing network; a source of pressurized air introduced; a plurality of openings in said tubing, wherein said plurality of openings have an aggregate total cross-sectional area less than the cross-sectional area of the inner pathway of said tubing so that pressure may be retained within said tubing resulting in expansion and temperature drop of said air escaping from said plurality of openings; wherein an outer side of said tubing network is covered with a wind resistant covering; wherein the orientation of said openings in said tubing are non-perpendicular to said body and generally pointing in the same clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the chest of said body thereby creating a flow of air under the wind resistant covering of the vest thus moving a greater amount of air and encouraging further evaporative cooling of the body.
