Innovative Cooling Solutions at the Heat Countermeasure Exhibition

MEDIAID, a pioneering brand renowned for its commitment to worker safety and comfort, will exhibit its latest technological advancements at the upcoming 11th Heat Countermeasure Exhibition. This event will take place from July 23 to July 25, 2025, at the Tokyo Big Sight. Notably, the company will showcase the newly released MEDIAID Icing Gear Vest 2, a cutting-edge hybrid cooling garment that employs a unique patented structure to combat heat stress in work environments.

Introduction to the Exhibition

As temperatures rise each year, the need for effective heat mitigation strategies becomes more pressing, especially in labor-intensive industries. According to recent statistics, the number of heat-related injuries in workplaces has been on the rise, with 1,257 reported cases in 2024—the highest since these figures began being tracked in 2005. Among these injuries, 31 were fatal, underscoring the urgency for effective solutions. The Heat Countermeasure Exhibition is specifically aimed at addressing the challenges posed by extreme heat, attracting over 45,000 visitors in its last edition.

MEDIAID's Commitment to Worker Safety

Founded in 1973, Japan Sigmax Corporation is committed to providing comprehensive solutions for body support and health, particularly within the working population. The MEDIAID brand was launched in 2021, aiming to create products that enhance the safety and comfort of workers through innovation. The latest addition to their lineup, the Icing Gear Vest 2, is engineered to offer superior cooling capabilities, and provides essential support for industries such as manufacturing and construction where heat stress poses significant risks.

The New MEDIAID Icing Gear Vest 2

The newly unveiled Icing Gear Vest 2 represents a significant advancement over its predecessor, introduced in 2023. It integrates a Peltier cooling system with water circulation technology, allowing it to deliver substantial cooling effects even in extreme heat conditions (exceeding 35°C). Key features include:

• - Enhanced Cooling Performance: The vest is designed to maintain a comfortable temperature for the wearer by utilizing an advanced cooling unit that can function continuously for up to 5 hours.
• - Ergonomic Design: The backpack-style cooling unit is placed on the user's back, minimizing the feeling of weight and enhancing mobility.
• - Improved Fit & Comfort: A redesign of the cooling pad shape combined with better fit in the inner vest maximizes the cooling sensation.
• - Extended Compatibility: The separation of the inner cooling pads from the backpack unit allows the vest to be worn with various uniform types, catering to a broader range of workers.

The Icing Gear Vest 2 will be available at a retail price of ¥159,500 (including tax), with options for different sizes accommodating chest circumferences from 86 to 120 cm.

Addressing the Heat Stress Crisis

In light of the increasing regulation surrounding workplace safety and health, including the recent mandatory implementation of heat stress prevention measures under revised labor safety and health regulations, companies must invest in protective garments like the Icing Gear Vest 2. These garments not only contribute to regulatory compliance but also significantly improve employee well-being and productivity.

MEDIAID is dedicated to addressing the pressing need for workplace safety solutions, specifically combating heat stress and its consequences. The MEDIAID Icing Gear Vest 2 represents a critical step in this direction, promising to provide unprecedented cooling benefits for workers.
