ThermApparel On Tour: Cooling Gear for Cons, Expos, and Shows
ThermApparel designs lightweight cooling vests and wraps for people who spend long hours in costumes, fursuits, Santa suits, haunted house builds, and stage gear.
When summer heat and heavy layers collide, core cooling becomes the difference between enjoying the full event and crashing early from overheating.
That’s why we take ThermApparel on the road to anime cons, furry conventions, cosplay expos, haunted attraction shows, Santa schools, and theatre conferences across the United States.
What to expect when you stop by our booth
- Try-ons: Test cooling vests and cooling wraps, worn over or under your costume layers, to see how they feel and fit.
- Heat-safety coaching: Get practical advice on cooling breaks, hydration, and planning for extreme heat at cons and shows.
- Real-world experience: Talk with us about how other performers, fursuiters, haunters, and Santas are using ThermApparel to get more in-suit time with less downtime.
- Special con-only pricing: Get show-exclusive deals on cooling vests and wraps when you buy directly at the booth.
Our current tour includes major cons and expos in cities such as Atlanta, GA; Orlando, FL; and Houston, TX, with additional dates added throughout the year.
Check the list below to see when we’ll be near you, and bookmark this page for updates.
Whether you’re at a regional furry con, a large anime convention, a haunted attraction trade show, or a holiday performer event, ThermApparel cooling gear can help you:
- Stay in costume longer with fewer heat-related crashes
- Reduce overheating and dizziness during long, hot days
- Enjoy more of the fandom and performance without sacrificing your health
