Accelerate heart rate recovery during timeouts 

Cool down quickly during breaks without removing gear

Extend work capacity during high intensity work

Reduce perspiration and loss of electrolytes 

If you’re not thinking about thermoregulation, you’re leaving points on the table.

Paul Valukas, D1 Strength & Conditioning Coach
Our athletes love the Narwhals as they allow them to recover faster in competition and prepare for our long season. We have used them every game for the last two seasons and will continue to do so. The company and product are at the top of the field.
Paul Valukas, D1 Strength & Conditioning Coach
The Narwhals have made a significant impact on our thermoregulation model for our parathletes. We now have a proactive method for managing heat before it becomes a problem and extending our athletes’ ability to perform at higher intensities longer.
Alex Curry, Director of Sports Medicine, Adapted Athletics, University of Alabama
I’ve been using my Narwhals consistently during training and recovery for over a year and have loved how fresh and ready-to-go they help me feel! I have especially loved adding them to my wind-down routine after late practices and games to help me get more quality sleep.

Palm cooling is the most accessible and simplest way to improve therapy and performance across the board. Every training room and weight room on the planet should have the Narwhals!
Austin Einhorn, Movement Coach to Professional & Olympic Athletes

As ambient and core body temperatures increase, performance declines. By cooling between bouts of effort you can sustain a higher level of play longer.

Avoid heat stress

Recover heart rate faster

Increase work volume

A more powerful way to cool down is within reach

Our palms are natural radiators for the body. They contain special vasculature for efficient offloading of heat.

By holding something cool (not cold), with good thermal conductivity, and a mechanism for avoiding thermal barriers, you quickly remove excess body heat, accelerating recovery and improving performance.

How Palm Cooling Impacts Athlete Recovery

Palm cooling improves physical performance by delaying fatigue and accelerating recovery. In this article, we explore how palm cooling impacts an athlete's ability to recovery during games and in training.
