Introducing the New Best-Style Cooling Pad for MEDIAID's Advanced Cooling Wear

Introduction to MEDIAID's Innovation

On June 29, 2026, Japan SigmaX Co., Ltd., which operates the daily support brand MEDIAID, will introduce a new product aimed at addressing the pressing issue of heat stress in workplaces. This new accessory, the Best-Style Cooling Pad, is designed specifically for the MEDIAID Iceing Gear Best2, an advanced cooling garment that utilizes Peltier technology for effective temperature management.

The Rising Concern of Heat Stress in Work Environments

The number of emergency transports due to heat-related illnesses has been rising sharply in recent years. By June 1, 2025, amendments to the Labor Safety and Health Regulations will make it mandatory for workplaces to implement heat stress prevention measures. Additionally, guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in March 2026 mandate comprehensive heat stress prevention strategies in every workplace. Despite these regulations, the number of heat-related casualties—including 1,803 severe cases that required more than four days of leave in 2025—underscores the urgent need for effective solutions, particularly in industries like manufacturing and construction, where workers often face high temperatures.

Expanding Cooling Capabilities with the New Pad

Recognizing the need for enhanced cooling solutions, MEDIAID has expanded the cooling area of the Best-Style Cooling Pad, making it approximately twice the size of previous models. This innovative design ensures that workers in environments where heat sources are directly in front of them can receive targeted cooling to both their front and back.

MEDIAID's Iceing Gear Best was first introduced in 2023 and has continuously evolved to meet customer needs. The Iceing Gear Best2, released in 2025, improved the outfit's cooling performance and comfort. Feedback from industries that utilize significant heat-producing machinery, such as welding, highlighted the need for a cooler front surface to ensure worker comfort.

Key Features of the Best-Style Cooling Pad

1. Expanded Cooling Surface:
The Best-Style Cooling Pad increases the cooling area, providing coverage for the body's front as well as the back. This adjustment allows for cooling in presence of any frontal heat sources, ensuring worker comfort.

2. User-Friendly Design:
Integrated directly with the cooling wear, the Best-Style Cooling Pad minimizes installation hassle. Additionally, it is fully washable by hand, enhancing convenience for users.

3. One Size Fits All:
The cooling pad comes in a free size, eliminating the complexities associated with sizing and allowing easier adoption across various workplaces.
