Abstract
This paper describes cooling man with conduction; specifically, cool water in tubes of a hood on the head. The results can be summarized as follows: Head temperature was kept considerably lower and skin and rectal temperatures were kept lower; cardiac cost was reduced; sweating was at approximately 40% of the rate without the hood, and permitted exposure time to heat stress was longer.
