Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a cooling garment including a garment material configured to be worn on a user's upper body. The garment material includes an outer surface with gel-filled chambers, an inner surface, and a hole therethrough. The garment material is configured to compress against the user's body when worn so that protrusions extending from the inner surface contact the user's body and define air channels between the protrusions, the inner surface, and the user's body. The cooling garment also includes a fixing ring coupled to the garment material around the hole, and a suction device configured to be coupled to the fixing ring, wherein the suction device is configured to circulate air through the air channels.
