Keeping Horses Cool and Comfortable
Many horses struggle with hoof concussion, injuries while jumping and other bone or tendon issues that can prevent them from their best performance.
Owners and trainers often rely on sports medicine boots that offer support yet still give the animal freedom of movement.
However, horse boots can be hot and sweaty because they trap heat and moisture.
Professional’s Choice, a leader in equine leg care that introduced the original Sports Medicine Boot in 1990, partnered with brrr° to create advanced horse boots made with cooling fabric.
Professional’s Choice 2XCool Sports Medicine Boots feature brrr°’s natural cooling minerals, active wicking, and rapid drying technologies that create a “Triple Chill Effect” that instantly and continuously draws heat and moisture away from the skin.
The boot also has a specially designed suspensory strap, which provides support to the tendons and ligaments in the horse’s lower limb and prevents hyperextension of the fetlock joint.
Keeping horses cool and comfortable improves endurance and helps them feel confident so they can perform their best in the show ring and have quicker recoveries from injuries.
We think that’s pretty cool.

brrr° Introduces Advanced Cooling Fabric, brrr° Pro
The leader in cooling fabric technology creates new performance cooling textile aimed at the athletic and fitness market.
Athletes, trainers, coaches, and anyone with an active lifestyle deserves to wear better fabrics that help them perform their best as they compete, recover, and play.
Many garments on the market say they are “cooling” but they’re really just good at wicking — they don’t actually draw heat and moisture away from the skin.
We created a new advanced performance cooling fabric called brrr° Pro that works harder than ever to keep you cool.
brrr° Pro Polyester uses enhanced cooling fibers, hyper wicking, and performance drying to elevate the Triple Chill Effect® that instantly and continuously draws heat and moisture away from the skin.
We’ve been working on brrr° Pro for more than three years, and we experimented with dozens of formulas that were tested on more than 1,000 kgs of yarn before choosing the best combination.
For the past three years, we’ve been working on a new concentrated cooling technology that harnesses the power of micro-cooling technology and advanced dispersion techniques to intensify the cooling power of brrr°.
We have a provisional patent for brrr° Pro, and we’re excited to introduce it to the athletic and fitness apparel industry. Like all brrr° products, brrr° Pro is independently lab tested by globally recognized third-party labs and proven to outperform other brands.
We think athletes, trainers, coaches, and anyone with an active lifestyle will love the way brrr° Pro keeps them cooler, drier, and more confident so they can perform their best at work and at play.

Why Harry Higgs’ Deep-V Might be the Best Polo in Golf
Harry Higgs is the owner of golf’s most relatable brio. His affinity for naps and quick meals is only matched by that of his buttons-undone, beard-unshaved, shades-on attire.
Frankly, in a sport defined by trim figures and meticulously crafted style, Higgs is a breath of proletarian fresh air. As for his golf game, that’s rounded into form nicely over the last few weeks. At the Safeway Open on Sunday, his best shot was his approach into the par-5 16th. Higgs hit a boomerang hook around a tree from 240 yards out and left himself two feet for eagle.
“Yeah, that was sick,” he said after a final-round 68 put him at 18 under for the week. “Kind of at the moment I needed it. I’ll remember that one for sure.”
After Sunday’s second-place finish at the Safeway Open, Higgs found himself with his second top-20 finish in three starts — and his most visible PGA Tour performance to date. With that in mind, it’s worth digging a bit deeper into his look, particularly his unbuttoned, deep-V Greyson polo.
This three-button polo from Greyson might appear simple, but inside the collar is some of golf’s most comfortable material. Greyson’s trademark “brrrº” technology is built for days in the sun and heat, combining natural cooling minerals, active wicking, and rapid drying technologies to create a shirt that stays in peak performance (and peak comfort), no matter the elements.
Whether you’re popping the color and undoing the buttons in your best Higgsian interpretation, or simply looking to invest in a look you know can withstand the elements, look no further than Greyson.
