EVAPORATIVE COOLERS FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Long summer hours and bright skies make summer the ideal time to be outside…except for the heat. Athletes, officials, and fans at sporting events broil under the sun and continue to bake after it sets. Whether your outdoor sport is on a field, trail, blacktop, or track, you need a break from the heat that Portacool affordably and efficiently provides.

Keep Cool, Stay Safe

Heat exhaustion is a legitimate danger, and so is heat frustration. Keep a cool head by keeping a cool body. Tempers flare when we are nearing exhaustion, and it is intensified by the heat. For approximately $1/day, a Portacool evaporative cooler can keep fans and athletes alike feeling and performing their best. In theory, many outside activities seem like a great way to spend a day. Until you get outside, that is. You start to feel the heat of a typical summer day, and you suddenly realize you can’t have fun out there.

That’s because your body has a hard time keeping cool when it’s hot. At any temperature over 75° F, your body starts to lose the ability to cool off effectively. By the time outdoor temperatures reach 95° F, you have only one way to keep cool: sweat. While sweating can be effective, it can’t easily replace all the other cooling methods your body has lost. You either need to slow down or cool down. Otherwise, your body will shut down with heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you want to give outside sports your all, you need a cool down solution.

From the buzzer to the flag until the sun sets over the stadium, or whichever expanse of green you relish, Portacool is there to keep you safe and cool.

On The Sidelines

Sideline cooling fans are one option for helping athletes stay cool at outside sports like football, soccer, lacrosse, and more. However, they have limited effectiveness. On any day where the heat climbs above 90° F, the only cooling method that is effective is sweating. Sideline cooling fans can make sweating more effective, but it’s still limited, especially for big athletes who have a hard time lowering their core temperature. Plus, sweating comes at a cost: dehydration.

Athletes who are constantly sweating need to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration. They also need to make sure they’re replacing electrolytes or else they might develop complications like hyponatremia (salt shortage). The more time spent at high temperatures, the harder it gets to strike this balance.

That’s why we’ve seen numerous sports programs adopt Portacool portable evaporative coolers, like the University of North Texas. UNT sees their portable evaporative coolers as a way to help their players recover, get a competitive edge, and stay safe. Portable evaporative coolers are a much more effective solution for cooling players down than a sideline cooling fan.

Sidelines are often filled with twice as many supporters as players: bring value to your mascot, emergency responders, team staff, photographers, officiants, team managers, and coaches by including them in the cool.

The Finish Line

Another great place to set up an outdoor evaporative cooler is at the finish line of a race. There are dozens of marathons and triathlons across the US from May to September where heat can be a potentially serious issue for athletes. Whether they are first-time participants or long-term competitors, these athletes often push themselves to their absolute limits. Having a cooling station can help them recover and avoid dangerous complications.
