ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises both the method and an apparatus to cool persons in a hot environment. It does this by providing breathing air at a temperature that would not be easily tolerated by the skin without vascular constriction and a decoupling of the cooling process. It would provide air at temperatures sometimes 100.degree. F. or more below ambient temperatures allowing absorption of body heat to take place in the lungs. The apparatus includes a face mask and a heat sink that the air passes through as well as a heat sink to cool the blood flowing near the skin over the kidneys,
