Built for OUR Aussie summers
Stop cooking
in your hi-vis MATE
The Site Chill V2 pushes air through your shirt all day, so sweat actually does its job. Feels up to 12°C cooler in the roof, the trench or the back of the ute, and it runs a full 8-hour shift on one charge.

The problem
Sweat only cools you
if the air moves
Under a hi-vis shirt in still air, sweat just sits there. You get soaked, you get slow, you get a headache by smoko, and by 2pm you're making mistakes you wouldn't make at 7am. Ice vests thaw in an hour. Drinking more water doesn't move air.

How it works
Three steps, no manual
Two brushless fans sit in the lower side panels, one each side. They pull outside air in at your ribs and push it up across your torso and out the collar, so sweat evaporates instead of pooling. Full-body airflow, hands free, all shift.
-
Step 01
Clip the battery in
Slides into the inside pocket, plugs in with USB-C. Takes three seconds with gloves on. Charges off your ute inverter or the same charger as your phone.
-
Step 02
Pick your speed
One button, four speeds: a light breeze for the ute, full noise for the roof. Speed one stretches the battery past 12 hours.
-
Step 03
Get back to work
Wear it over or under your hi-vis shirt. Fans pop out in ten seconds so the shell goes through the wash with the rest of your gear.
Built to survive a work site
12,000mAh battery
Full shift on speed three, over 12 hours on speed one. Recharges in 3.5 hours.
9,000L air per minute
Two side-mounted brushless fans, quiet enough to hear the boss yelling at you.
Five colourways
Hi-vis yellow or orange with 50mm day/night tape, plus charcoal, white and camo for off-site work.
600D ripstop shell
Reinforced shoulders, bar-tacked seams, YKK zip. Won't tear on a rack of steel.
IP54 dust & splash
Concrete dust, sawdust, a bit of rain: the fans keep spinning.
Machine washable
Twist the fans out, chuck the shell in cold. No hand-washing nonsense.

Straight from the site
What tradies tell us after a summer in one
"First day in a 50-degree roof and I didn't need a lie down in the ute after. Should've bought one three summers ago."
"Rendered all day in it and the battery still had a bar left at knock-off. Barely notice the weight after five minutes."
"Missus got me one for my birthday. Best present I've had that isn't a tool. Whole crew has them now."
"Drink about half the water I used to. Six months of roof plumbing in Perth and the fans are still going strong."
Three styles, same fans
Which one do you need?
Same brushless fans, same 12,000mAh battery, same 8-hour shift. The only question is how much of you needs covering.

Fan long sleeve
$129.00

Fair questions
Does it work in humidity up the top end?
Yes, though the effect is smaller than in dry heat. Moving air still lifts sweat off your skin in Darwin or Cairns, and most blokes up north run it on speed three or four instead of two.
Will it pass a site induction?
Order hi-vis yellow or orange and you've got 50mm reflective tape front and back for day and night work. Charcoal, white and camo are piped rather than taped, so keep those for workshops and private jobs. Some sites have their own rules on branded gear, so check with your supervisor on a tier-one job.
How loud are the fans?
About 42dB on speed one and 58dB flat out, quieter than a shop vac, and you'll still hear a radio or someone yelling from the other side of the slab.
What size should I order?
Take your normal work shirt size if you wear it on top, or size up if you'd rather have it under your hi-vis. S through 5XL, and swaps are free within 30 days.
Can I wash it?
Twist both fans out, plug the port covers in, then cold machine wash and hang dry. Don't tumble dry it and don't wash the fans.
How fast does it ship?
Orders in before 2pm on a weekday leave the same day by express post. Most capital cities get it next business day, regional runs two to four.
Get through summer
without cooking
