cooling systems

Cooling system I get asked a lot, do I need a cool system? The answer depends on what style of mascot is it? Where will you be using it? If the mascot is a unibody style and has lots of vent screens in the top, eyes and mouth you may not need one. But if you have a mascot with a head and you are very active. I would get the fan system. We vent the fans out not in, that way the old air is replaced with fresh. We have worked with a number of performers to get the right formula for ventilation. We always add vent screens in every mascot as a standard design feature. Some performers have told us they don’t really care for fans because they are noisy. I do find them a bit noisy but to be honest I like them. There are pro’s and cons for and against fan systems. They are not heavy but the batteries can add extra weight on the heads. We make our mascots so the client can choose to not have one and then add it later if they so wish. If it is any help about 50% of the mascots that leave here with no fan system, the client contacts us to get one. Ice vests some clients swear by them as it can keep you body temperature down. But I don’t like the cold on my chest. My partner loves it. So again it is up to the performer. I would error on the side of caution. It is nice to have, especially if there are a number of performers inside the mascot. Each performer has there own likes and dislikes. Keep your performers comfortable and they will want to be inside the mascots, and be better performers for you. Fan systems and Ice vest are a good start and let the performer decide if they want to use it. Do you have a fan system and do you like it? Let us here from you..
