Kafka’s Kool Tie was started by Steve and Pam Kafka in 1992 at their current Cave Creek Rd. location. With Pam’s vast knowledge of soft goods manufacturing, she designed an extremely durable and incredibly functional cooling bandana that utilizes our proprietary blend of water absorbent polymer. The Original Kool Tie cools the body through the natural process of evaporation and never needs to be refrigerated or frozen. This cooling effect is continuous and will last for 2-3 days before a re-soaking is needed. The cooling effect of the Original Kool Tie is all natural–you need nothing to activate it except water. The gradual release of moisture provides the cooling effect.

We have made continuous discoveries of the advantages a person can get from properly using our products. Your Kool Tie will provide many benefits from reducing heart rate and blood pressure to reducing fatigue. Although there are several areas of cardiovascular arteries throughout the human body, the neck area is the most important in terms of cooling the body easily & quickly. The Original Kool Tie is designed to cool the blood flowing to the brain via the carotid arteries & the major vascular network at the back of the neck simultaneously. Studies have shown that if this area is cooled, the wearer can achieve a higher level of performance with less perceived effort. Cooling this area reduces stress and can actually lower the heart rate.
