Advanced Core Cooling, Trusted at the Highest Level of Professional Cycling

Purpose Performance Wear, is proud to spotlight the Glacier Vest, its advanced core cooling vest, as it plays an active role in one of cycling's most demanding tests of heat management: the Tour de France.

This season, the UCI WorldTeam Lotto-Intermarché has integrated the Glacier Vest into its pre-race routine, with riders wearing the vest during warm-ups ahead of stages where soaring temperatures and long hours in the saddle put core body temperature and performance on the line.

"Stay cool under pressure." That's the promise behind the Glacier Vest, engineered specifically for endurance athletes, runners, cyclists, and high-intensity trainers who refuse to let heat dictate their limits.

The Technology Behind the Cooling

The Glacier Vest is more than a cooling layer: it's active thermal management built to work with the body, not against it. High-density evaporative cooling fibers combine with strategic thermal-exchange zones across the chest and back, the body's core heat zones, to help regulate core temperature and reduce perceived exertion. By lowering skin and core temperature, the vest reduces cardiovascular strain and helps redirect oxygen-rich blood to working muscles instead of being spent cooling the body.

Key features include:

• Evaporative Cooling Core: lightweight, breathable mesh that absorbs and retains moisture for long-lasting evaporative cooling without bulk
• Contoured, Zero-Bounce Fit: an ergonomic design that moves naturally with the body, eliminating bounce and distraction during movement
• Lightweight & Breathable Construction: optimized airflow that keeps athletes cool without overheating or restricting movement

Adopted by Lotto-Intermarché on the Tour de France

Heat management is one of the most underrated variables in professional cycling performance, particularly during a three-week Grand Tour where riders can face stage after stage of extreme temperatures. Ahead of key Tour de France stages, Lotto-Intermarché riders have turned to the Glacier Vest during warm-up sessions to pre-cool the body's core before racing begins, a strategy increasingly used by endurance athletes to delay the onset of heat-related fatigue and sustain output when conditions turn brutal.

Designed for Heat—Training, Racing and Recovery

Beyond the Tour de France, the Glacier Vest is built for:

• Endurance running and marathon training Cycling and triathlon preparation
• Fast cooling during High-intensity (HIIT), cross-training and outdoor workouts
• Hot-weather competitions and warm-ups

Whether preparing for race day or pushing through brutal training sessions, the Glacier Vest delivers targeted cooling where it matters most. Proven to help athletes stay cooler, longer, when heat is the enemy.
