Abstract
A cooling system, such as a cooling vest, includes a cooling panel having a cooling panel body having a front wall, a rear wall, and an interior space between the front wall and the rear wall. A cooling member is positionable within the interior space of the cooling panel body, such as by being removably insertable thereinto. The cooling panel includes a conduction surface adapted to directly or indirectly contact an individual, such as a wearer, wherein the conduction surface is cooled by the cooling member in the interior space. Optionally, a fan can blow air chilled by the cooling member towards the individual so the individual can also experience convection cooling.

1-21. (canceled)
A wearable cooling system for cooling a wearer, the wearable cooling system comprising:
- a cooling panel, the cooling panel comprising:
- a cooling panel body having a front wall adapted to face away from a wearer, a rear wall adapted to face toward a wearer, and an interior space between the front wall and the rear wall,
- a cooling member positionable within the interior space of the cooling panel body, the cooling member comprising a cooling sheet having a rear facing side and a front facing side, and
- a fan member positionable on the cooling panel body;
- and
- a supporting system adapted to support the cooling panel in proximity to the wearer's front or rear torso,
- wherein the cooling panel includes a conduction surface adapted to directly or indirectly contact the wearer, wherein both the cooling sheet rear facing side and the cooling sheet front facing side are cool in operation, wherein the conduction surface is cooled by the cooling member in the interior space, and wherein the fan member can blow air chilled by the cooling sheet towards the wearer in order to provide convection cooling.
