YOCABITO Co., Ltd. (Head office: Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative: Yusuke Kanno), through its home gym training equipment brand LEADING EDGE, will start selling the "Running Ice Vest" in mid-May 2026 to address the problem of insufficient training due to heat. This product is a running-specific cooling vest that focuses on "how to safely continue high-quality training" in recent summers with high heatstroke risk. By cooling major blood vessels at specific points, it gently keeps heart rate stable even in harsh environments, preventing a decline in endurance.
In recent summers with record-breaking heat, the biggest obstacle for runners is "the anxiety of not being able to run." For hobby runners who feel anxious about races after autumn because they have no choice but to reduce their training volume due to fear of heatstroke and discomfort, and for city runners who do not want to interrupt their daily habits.
This product is an offensive cooling gear that transforms intense heat from "time to endure" into "time to produce definite results."
Its functionality, which suppresses the rise in core body temperature and stabilizes the heart rate, provides a sense of security like a "talisman" to fight through the harsh summer together. Cooling, hydration, and storage are integrated into this single vest, pursuing minimalism.
It creates an environment where you can immerse yourself in summer training and supports the overwhelming maintenance of performance that allows you to stand out from your rivals.
## Product Introduction
### ■ "3-point Cooling System" to efficiently lower core body temperature
Coolant pockets are placed in a total of three locations: the back and both sides of the torso. By cooling major blood vessels at specific points, it efficiently suppresses the rise in body temperature for approximately 30-60 minutes even in harsh environments. It suppresses the rise in heart rate due to heat, enabling high-quality training that maintains pace. It transforms running that tends to be merely exhausting in summer into build-up and long-distance training directly linked to autumn races.
### ■ One-action cord for instant fit
A chest cord is adopted that tightens the entire vest in a balanced way with just one pull of the cord at the chest. Stress from flapping is thoroughly eliminated. When the lock is released, you are instantly freed from the tightening, leading to relaxation with deep breaths. Furthermore, it is equipped with a cord lock function to secure excess cord. There is no annoyance of the cord hitting your face or body while running.
### ■ Smartly store all necessary gear
- Large pocket: Easily stores smartphones and 500ml soft flasks.
- Waterproof security pocket: Securely protects valuables such as keys and cards from sweat and sudden rain.
### ■ Lightweight mesh material with excellent sweat absorption and quick drying properties
Made of soft, high-strength nylon mesh, it achieves durability and ultra-lightweight performance that makes you forget you're wearing it. Excellent breathability prevents heat buildup, and its sweat-absorbing quick-drying function cuts down on clamminess and stickiness. Good ventilation prevents sweat from accumulating, also suppressing odor generation. It maintains its shape even with intense movement, supporting immersion in training.
### ■ Easy to wash, always clean
Sweat is a common companion to summer training. This product features an easy-care design that can be easily machine washed at home. *Machine wash compatible (weak water flow below 30°C). You can start running with a constantly fresh feel, without carrying over unwanted odors or stickiness.
### ■ Safety reflectors for night runners
Reflectors are placed in various locations for runners who avoid daytime and run in the early morning or at night. This ensures visibility and allows for safe night running.
