Current Spanish Paddle Surf Champion @antonioomorilloo has been using the Glacier Hat throughout his season, from racing to training sessions in demanding conditions. Here’s his experience
"This season I’ve been using the Glacier Hat from Ultra Cool Tech and, honestly, it has surprised me in a very positive way.
I usually wear a cap in all kinds of races because I have long hair and like to stay comfortable and protected, but with this one I’ve noticed a real difference. Besides being very comfortable, it keeps my head cool throughout the activity, helping prevent my body temperature from rising too much, even during long efforts. I’ve used it in races lasting one and a half to two hours, and the experience has always been very positive.
Another point I’d highlight is the fit. It adapts perfectly and doesn’t move at all, which is essential for me when I’m training or competing. Even when doing water sports like paddleboarding, if I need to refresh it, I simply wet it a bit and it remains just as comfortable, without shifting or becoming annoying.
I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by its durability. Sometimes you might think that, because of the type of material, a hat like this would be less resistant, but this is not the case. You can tell it’s well made and handles heavy use perfectly.
Overall, it completely met my expectations, and even exceeded them. I’m delighted with the product and would recommend it 100%".

Heat management is one of the biggest performance factors in endurance sport. Yet most athletes still think cooling simply means “feeling cooler.”
Your body already has a natural cooling system: sweat and evaporation. But this system has limits. Specially during hard efforts, high temperatures, indoor training, or long races.
You can only produce so much sweat. And if sweat evaporates too quickly, drips away, or the skin becomes too dry, cooling efficiency drops. That means less heat removal, rising core temperature, and eventually reduced performance.
This is where active cooling comes in.
Active cooling is designed to complement your body’s natural cooling process by adding and retaining water exactly where evaporation is most effective. More controlled evaporation = more heat removal = more cooling watts (a measure of how much excess heat your body is removing).
In other words, active cooling adds fuel to the system. It creates additional evaporative cooling capacity beyond what your body can produce alone, helping you maintain cooling performance for longer when conditions become demanding.

Will the Glacier TT Cockpit Cooling Kit fit my specific set up? This is one of the most common questions we get from our followers. And the short answer is yes, it will.
The longer answer: the kit includes all the materials needed to create a custom set of replacement pads for your cockpit. No specialized tools or complex setup required. Just a pair of scissors is enough to create new pads that deliver active cooling using only water and airflow.
For more information, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re happy to help with your specific setup and needs.

All our products work with water and nothing else. No batteries or chemicals involved. Our fabrics are designed to store water, which becomes the fuel for cooling.
The process is simple: most cooling on the skin happens through evaporation, so maintaining a steady amount of water on the skin helps with that process. This allows the body to cool itself more effectively and for longer periods.
That’s why our logo is a water drop. It represents fueling your cooling with water. It’s also a symbol of cooling performance. When you see it on a product, it means our cooling technology is built in, ensuring it helps keep you cool down when you need it most. Just don’t forget to add water!

Cooling is a natural process, and its physiological mechanisms are well understood. When you exercise, around 80% of the energy you produce turns into internal heat. This raises your core body temperature, triggering a cooling response that involves sweating and evaporation.
While this works for a time, sweat is a limited resource, and you may need to complement it if effective cooling is required for longer periods. This is where Ultra Cool Tech’s active cooling technology comes in.

Assembling the Glacier TT Cockpit Cooling Kit takes just 5 simple steps. With a few helpful tips, you can ensure it works flawlessly, delivering active cooling during your most intense rides.
1. Cut the Bonded Glacier Sheet and Ultra Cool Thermal Foam to the correct shape using your pads as a template.
2. Add extra foam if you prefer more padding in pressure points. Consider expanding the area of the Glacier Sheet for improved cooling.
3. Cover the cockpit with copper lining tape to enhance heat dissipation.
4. Assemble everything using glue or Velcro.
5. Finish by wrapping the hand grips with Glacier Tape for additional cooling.
Once installed, use the included Glacier Towel to store the kit safely and keep it wet and clean in the transition zone.

Over the past two years, we’ve been developing a new way to keep triathletes cool on the bike, focusing on one simple idea: maximize the active cooling effect by targeting the cockpit, where heat builds up during training and racing.
First tested on the biggest stage at Kona by World Champions like Patrick Lange and Sam Laidlow, and later refined with input from Lucy Charles-Barclay, this concept has been shaped through real racing, real conditions, and real feedback.
But innovation shouldn’t stop with the pros.
The Glacier TT Cooling Kit takes a solution proven at the highest level, and makes it available to every athlete on the start line.
From World Champions → to you.
The Glacier TT Cockpit Cooling Kit is now available for pre-order. Get your kit today! Learn more in our website.
