BCB device to keep you cool in hot weather

by News Fairy
written by News Fairy

BCB will be showcasing a new portable personal water cooler at IWA in Germany this weekend:

Device will keep outdoor enthusiast cool in hot weather

imageA groundbreaking portable personal water cooler which can reduce the temperature of users’ drinking water by up to 25ºC (45ºF) in hot, arid climates is set to be a hit with outdoor enthusiasts visiting this year’s IWA and Outdoor Classics Show in Nuremberg, Germany (11-14th March 2011)

For lovers of the great outdoors having quick access to a supply of cool water is essential in hot, dry climates.  All too often, standard hydration packs used by outdoor enthusiasts let them down in hot conditions because the drinking water is warm and unpalatable which discourages them from drinking enough water to maintain hydration levels. An innovation by survival equipment specialists, BCB International, called the “Chilly”, will now make warm unpalatable water a thing of the past claims the UK based company.

imageIn hot, dry climates the “Chilly” ensures that users have a continuous supply of cool palatable water.  This ingenious device works by evaporation alone, no batteries are required.  Water passes through a series of cooling fins that use microscopic holes to allow water to seep onto the wicking cloth.

imageBCB’s International Sales Manager, Chris Brooke said: “The Chilly Cooler represents a major leap forward in hydration for outdoor enthusiasts.  Weighing only 14.4oz, the Chilly is a lightweight solution to a problem that has dogged people operating in hot and dry climates for many years.  It’s an easy to use and effective water cooling system that clips easily to most hydration systems and works immediately.

“The Chilly has been tried and tested by UK troops and journalists serving in and reporting in hot, arid climates including Afghanistan.  They have told us that the Chilly makes a real difference because it helps them feel cool and stay hydrated for longer in hot conditions.”

BCB International will be exhibiting their range of products in Hall 4 at Stand 244 (BCB)

  • “Arctic Ops: Mosin-Nagant 91/30” by Nutnfancy
    Practical cold weather testing of the Mosin-Nagan 91/30. With friend Cr0cket20, we launch out into the snow for engagements on Actiontarget.com steel plates to see what this rifle can do in these conditions. Temps ranged from 20ºF down to 15ºF later on. This particular Mosin-Nagant 1927 model wears my DuraCoat job in “Tactical Grey Green” (perfect color for the gun) and a Millet 1″ red dot sight in a S&K brand scope base mounting in the rear sight area. In low light and overall speed this is a superior set up to the iron sights of the Mosin as proven in testing. The S&K mount has proven 100% stable in extensive testing as well (install carefully with blue Loc-Tite). In this outing, this Mosin 91/30 excels in the cold and the snow and shows that its battle-born pedigree still holds up. But be careful how you load those shells: it can experience rim lock if the cartridges are not loaded in forward stacking fashion, despite the “interrupter” in the magazine. This has happened at every stage of TNP testing. Firing the Mosin fast and accurately takes commitment and the user needs to cycle the bolt with authority and conviction. Short stroking the bolt can cause hangups as well. The trigger is pretty much awful but a good shooter can work through it and achieve remarkable accuracy. Our targets here range out to 175 yards, an approximately man-sized IPSC plate. The Mosin is not however a modern bolt action design and more modern offerings from Marlin, Savage, Ruger, and Remington will offer greater speed, ergonomics, optics versatility, and perhaps even accuracy. But for the money spent, around $100, you won’t be able to touch it for overall effectiveness and range. And with its ammo currently very affordable, it offers tremendous recreation and training to the military rifle enthusiast. Expect a sore shoulder and a big grin after running the Mosin like this. In terms of value and fun, the Mosin-Nagant is a homerun even when the temperature plummets and snow falls. ////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale as outfitted: 8 out of 10///////////////////////Music: Licensed from Nijdef
