[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, a perspective view of a cooling vest system (hereinafter referred as system) 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the system 100 is designed for providing an effective cooling of a cooling vest 102. In one embodiment, the system 100 stabilizes an individual's body temperature using a Peltier chip. In one embodiment, further the system 100 improves the personal comfort of a wearer by controlling and modifying the temperature of the vest 102.

[0030] In one embodiment, the vest 102 includes a plurality of components to control and modify the individual's body temperature. In one embodiment, the vest 102 is incorporated with a tube of distilled water or water tube 104 wrapped around the vest 102. In one embodiment, the water tube 104 includes at least two ends. In one embodiment, the system 100 often controls and modifies the temperature of the fluids running through the system 100. In one embodiment, the water tube 104 is the cooling medium wrapped around the body.

[0031] In one embodiment, the vest 102 has a dimension of about 16″ long and about 13″ width.
