WHAT IS WHEELAIR FOR?

Avoid heat and moisture build-up

Through active airflow, WheelAir allows for self regulation of the body temperature through convection, conduction and evaporation heat loss.

Microclimate

Research demonstrates the necessity to keep your skin dry and clean, and we finally created a tool to help you do this. The WheelAir Slingback reduces the temperature of the back 9˚C and lowers relative humidity by 25%.

Over Sweating

Help your sweat evaporate with WheelAir. WheelAir gently blows the air from around you onto your skin, lowering the relative humidity and keep your skin and clothing dry.

Overheating

Take control of your body temperature. Heat and moisture is wicked away from your body, while we reduce your back - and body - temperature, leaving you cool and refreshed.

WILL IT FIT MY CHAIR?

"I mainly suffer from heat rashes on my skin which show up as red bumps. The big problem is that these bumps on the lower back and buttocks tend to open easily, which leads them to getting infected. "With WheelAir, I have to worry less about heat and moisture related issues and I no longer have to use creams or antibiotics."

“I find overheating very, very uncomfortable. It’s also very hard to control. It limits what I can do. My body feels noticeably cooler after using the WheelAir. The main benefit is you can cool down at any time.”
