The Koolbox Story KOOLBOX helmet cooling line of products, have been in the business of developing and providing niche thermoelectric based cooling systems since the early 1990's. The original cooling systems were developed systems for military applications. Systems were manufactured for helicopter pilot and various ground vehicle and electronics cooling applications, with the earliest units being used in the Desert Storm campaign. We later built the small thermoelectric liquid based cooling systems used by NASA astronauts on shuttle missions. A need for cooling technology was identified in auto racing. Drivers were experiencing physiological and mental stress caused by the extreme heat during all phases of the race. We adapted the thermoelectric technology to address these needs, and the KOOLBOX was born. KOOLBOX systems are currently in use in all series of racing from NASCAR to off-road, drastically improving driver comfort, effectiveness and safety. KOOLBOX technology continues to be used in military applications today.
