Apex Cool Labs Narwhals - Close up on Narwhal detail

Why They Work

Our patented design combines an insulated reservoir, a specialized freeze pack that keeps the device "cool-not-cold", and heat pipes for efficient heat transfer.

Easy Setup

The Narwhals can be set up hours before use. Set up takes just 60 seconds.

Optimized Cooling

The innovative design stays at the correct temperature and avoids thermal barriers.

Long-Lasting

Keeps cool for 2+ hours of use even in hot conditions.

Setup

Freeze the Cool-not-Cold packs overnight. Place the packs in the Narwhals and fill with ~75°F (24°C) water to the fill line. Learn more about setup and maintenance.

Usage

Hold (don't squeeze) the Narwhals for 30 seconds to 3+ minutes between bouts of effort. Swirl occasionaly while using. Explore common palm cooling use cases and protocols.

Mitigate heat stress

Accelerate heart rate recovery

Improve strength gains

The Narwhals are a powerful tool for combating heat-illness. 

We have used the Narwhals every game for the last two seasons and will continue to do so.

The Narwhals have made a major impact on thermoregulation for our parasport athletes.

Every training room and weight room on the planet should have the Narwhals!

I have seen measurable improvements in my strength, training volume, and recovery.

The palm cooling technology is especially useful for us here in Arizona, where we’re often training in 100+ degree heat.
