Clearwater Ice Baths has made a splash with its Snowcap, a product changing how people think about cold therapy. This innovative ice bath lid has even caught the eye of the FIT Sport Design Awards, earning the title of Winner in Sport Equipment Design.
Chill without the ice
One of the standout features of the Snowcap is its ability to cool water without needing any ice. It uses what’s called thermoelectric cooling technology. Tiny devices called Peltier units, built right into the lid, do all the work. When electricity passes through them, they can make the water cold or even heat it up. This means users can set the Snowcap to a chilly 2 degrees Celsius or warm it to 40 degrees Celsius. And it’s all controlled through an app, so getting the temperature right is simple.
The lid itself is made to last. The outside is a tough, eco-friendly plastic that can handle different weather, and inside, there’s a special layer to keep the temperature steady. It’s also surprisingly light, weighing only 12 kg, so it’s easy to move around, whether that’s at home, the gym, or even when traveling with a sports team. Another plus is how quiet it is compared to older chillers that often come with loud generators and big hoses.
Designed for all
The Snowcap is a round tub designed for one person at a time and can comfortably fit people up to 6 feet 9 inches tall. It measures 90 cm across and is 20 cm high. Regarding looks, there are choices: Navy Blue, Black, White, Pink, or a special wooden version for a more upscale feel. A really neat feature is that the Snowcap lid can be used with many existing standard ice baths, making it a great upgrade for those who already have a tub but want better temperature control.
A fresh approach to wellness
Clearwater Ice Baths sees the Snowcap as a step towards a healthier lifestyle. It’s designed to make recovery and wellness easier and more convenient. By eliminating the hassle of ice and noisy machinery, the Snowcap offers an effective way for health-focused individuals to look after their bodies. It’s truly a new direction for the industry.
