 
One secret to keeping cool on very hot days is to place a cool wet
towel loosely around your neck and let the natural effects of evaporation do the cooling.
Cotton bandanas that keep you cool on the trail, road and rock. Simply
energize by soaking in cool water. The bandana contains a patented non-toxic polymer
crystal that becomes a personal space-age hydro-cooling system that can be re-energized
repeatedly. Hand washable in mild soap.The Aqua Cool tm works with
this same Simple philosophy but in a very unique way. The AQUA COOL is
a simple scarf filled with liquid absorbing crystals you can soak for 10
minutes or until the crystals are fully soaked. The AQUA COOL will feel dry
to touch but the effects of evaporative cooling will help reduce body
temperature for up to 2 full days. For extra cooling the AQUA COOL can even
be refrigerated before use. The AQUA COOL is completely safe and
reusable.

Construction of a "Pilot
Relief" System
An important and possibly even a necessary accessory to every
sailplane should be an efficient Pilot Relief System. The effects of dehydration have been
well documented, and the only way to avoid dehydration is to continually replace body
fluids with large intakes of liquid, preferably water. The problem with this large intake
of fluids is that what goes in, must certainly go out! Some pilots have use the infamous
"P" Bomb which is simply a baggy with a diaper or another absorbent material
inside to hopefully make spillage less of a problem. From a sailplanes somewhat reclined
seating position the"P" bomb is however often very difficult to use and
sometimes even requires you to loosen or even remove straps from seatbelts or even
parachute harnesses, and with all the necessary maneuvering to use this method ,
inevitably he will have less awareness of what’s happening outside the cockpit and
more times than not may find the "P" bomb was no longer necessary anyway for now
he is on the ground! Seeing the dilemma, some sailplane manufacturers have even made
relief systems standard or optional equipment, but if however your ship does not include
one, W&W has the simple parts available to construct your own system. Typically, a
rubber hose or tube is routed from the cockpit, through the cockpit floor which eventually
exits through the belly or preferably through the landing gear well and is attached to the
landing gear door. This requires the extension of the landing gear prior to use but
normally insures that the waste fluids dump cleanly away from the sailplane. Obvious care
as always should be taken when installing such a system that no controls or apparatus can
be fouled buy the system hoses or hardware.
