Brings comfort to your outdoors, hiking, and bicycle riding. Improves gym efforts. Eternal cooling. No electricity, no fridge needed
For anyone battling the discomfort of heat, whether it's from a scorching summer day, an intense workout, or simply a stuffy kitchen, the Flagship Breeze: Eco-Friendly Body Cooler offers an innovative, sustainable solution. Launched on Kickstarter by Outdoor Home Fitness, this groundbreaking device harnesses the power of phase-change materials to provide continuous, gentle cooling without the need for electricity or refrigeration.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Flagship Breeze: Eco-Friendly Body Cooler, Kitchen, Travel by Outdoor Home Fitness (a team dedicated to innovative and environmentally conscious fitness and home solutions).
What It Is: The Breeze is a portable, reusable body cooler that utilizes a high-tech refrigerant material (PCM - Phase Change Material) that freezes at temperatures lower than 83°F / 28°C. It absorbs body heat as it melts, providing gentle, sustained cooling, and then "recharges" itself by releasing that heat back into the surrounding air as it re-solidifies, all without electricity or a refrigerator. It also includes an optional heating feature.
Key Features
"Perpetual Cooling" via Phase-Change Technology: Unlike ice packs that get uncomfortably cold and eventually warm up, Breeze uses a special refrigerant that solidifies and melts around 83°F (28°C). When placed against your skin, it absorbs your body heat (latent heat of fusion) to melt, effectively cooling you down by up to 15°F / 8°C. Once it melts, it can be re-solidified by simply being exposed to air at room temperature below 83°F, ready to cool you again, forming an "eternal cooling cycle" without external power.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Powered by pure physics, Breeze boasts a zero-carbon footprint. It contains no components that break or need replacing, making it highly sustainable. With proper care, it's designed to provide years of continuous, eco-conscious cooling.
Gentle, Dry Cooling – No Condensation or Frostbite: Breeze offers a soft, pleasant cooling sensation, similar to a wet towel but without the wetness, condensation, or risk of frostbite often associated with ice packs. This makes it ideal for direct skin contact and prolonged use without discomfort or moldy moisture.
Highly Versatile and Portable:
Wearable Comfort: Easily used during outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, or camping, improving endurance and comfort during workouts by helping maintain optimal body temperature.
Kitchen & Home: Perfect for staying cool while cooking, relaxing on the patio, or any situation where you need personal cooling without a bulky device.
Travel & Sleep: Its gentle cooling is beneficial for better sleep, even in stuffy environments like airplanes or tents, and provides instant relief for headaches by cooling carotid arteries.
Optional Heating Feature: Beyond cooling, Breeze also offers optional heating pads. These utilize a different chemical reaction (activated by twisting a plate) to provide instant warmth at about 140°F (60°C) for up to 30 minutes, ideal as a body warmer or heat compress. These heating pads are also reusable by simply boiling them for a few minutes to recharge.
Durable and Reusable: Designed for longevity, the Breeze cooler elements are robust and can be "recharged" (re-solidified) hundreds, if not thousands, of times, offering a truly sustainable cooling solution.

The Idea
Concept: To provide a perpetually rechargeable, eco-friendly, and highly versatile personal cooling (and optional heating) solution that requires no electricity or refrigeration, offering comfort and improved performance in various settings.
Inspiration: The team behind Flagship Breeze recognized the growing need for personal cooling solutions in a world experiencing more frequent heatwaves and increasingly active lifestyles. They wanted to create a product that was not only effective and convenient but also environmentally responsible. Breeze is born from their passion for innovation and environmental conservation, aiming to transform how individuals manage their body temperature during outdoor activities, work, travel, and even sleep, by harnessing natural scientific principles to deliver comfort and sustainability without compromise.
