The smart cooling vest for preventing heat-related illnesses is equipped with a smart cooling system that cools the ambient air to lower the temperature inside the clothing. It also features sensors that measure the registered user's heart rate and body temperature to detect early symptoms of heat-related illnesses and encourage rest and hydration through application notifications. In critical stages, alerts are sent to the control center and guardians, activating the rescue system.

Following this development, Black Yak participated in the '2023 Korea Safety Industry Expo' held at KINTEX in Ilsan from the 13th to the 15th, in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology. At the event, the smart cooling vest was demonstrated for the first time in the market, presenting a solution for the prevention of heat-related illnesses.

A Black Yak official stated, "We will continue to take the lead in developing new technologies that ensure public safety and improve quality of life."
