Abstract: A garment having pockets or other enclosures capable of mounting cooling packs such as gel packs therein. Thermally sensitive indicators, such as sensitive color gauge strips, are used to display the packs current effective temperatures. Thermal garment openings allow the packs to transmit cold to a user while the thermal indicators inform the user if the packs are too cold or too warm to be effective. Many different types of garments may utilize the principles behind this invention including headbands, wristbands and body vests.
