Cool Palms LLC has become the official cooling sponsor for South African pro triathlete Conrad ‘The Caveman’ Stoltz. Cool Palms is a leader in thermoregulation products for athletes. The company’s flagship product is the BEX Runner, a reusable, palm-sized cool-gel-pad effective up to an hour in-use.
The BEX Runner works by maintaining a cool surface to the palm, effectively drawing heat from the body core through a unique system of blood vessels called Arteriovenous Anastomoses (AVAs) found under the palm surface. According to the company, palm cooling is shown to sustain peak performance periods in athletes and delay fatigue.
Established in Austin, Texas in 2009, Cool Palms LLC scientifically developed its performance cooling products with the support of leading researchers and universities. Cool Palms has patented the BEX Runner and is developing a complete line of products for endurance and multisport athletes.
Stoltz is a 2X Olympian, 4X XTERRA World Champion, 1X ITU Cross Tri World Champion, and all-time XTERRA wins leader with 40 career victories.
“I definitely benefit from using the BEX Runner. I’m a big guy with a lot of muscle and I generate a lot of heat. The BEX Runner keeps my body temperature down and gives me a competitive advantage from T2 to the finish line,” Stoltz said.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be sponsoring The Caveman!” added Cool Palms founder Brett Warner. “Conrad is a great ambassador for triathlon and a role-model for athletes of all levels. Our goal is to help Conrad close-out races with a strong run using the BEX Runner.”
