Our Story

At Polar Quest, our mission began with a simple observation during a trip to Asia. ​In recent years, global warming has caused extreme summer temperatures, ​putting outdoor workers at serious risk. While traveling, I noticed something ​remarkable—many workers were wearing jackets equipped with fans.

Curious, I started interviewing workers and even tried on one of these jackets ​myself. To my surprise, the cooling effect was so powerful it gave me ​goosebumps. My curiosity turned into passion, and I began asking more ​questions. Time and time again, I heard the same response: “Once you wear this ​jacket, you can’t go back. I can’t work without it.”

It became clear this gear wasn’t just helpful—it was essential.

Returning to the U.S., I couldn’t ignore the sight of workers struggling in the heat, ​drenched in sweat. That’s when my vision became crystal clear: I needed to bring ​this innovative technology to the world and help workers stay safe and ​comfortable.

That’s how the #StayCool Movement was born.

we’re committed to continuous innovation so that everyone—whether working ​hard on the job or pursuing outdoor adventures—can perform at their best and ​fully enjoy life without being held back by the heat. We believe in empowering ​people to embrace the outdoors and thrive, not just survive, even on the hottest ​days.

This is just the beginning.
