I still think about this article. I was hoping to see some affordable product to come out of it, but haven't seen anything yet.
Although... 2017? Hmm. I thought I remembered reading about it 5-10 years ago. Maybe an earlier step in the research?

You're probably thinking about the same articles I am, from 2012 when all the blogs picked it up as "better than steroids" [2]. I'm with you - I thought they'd have a consumer product out by now. Also, there's some debate about whether this actually works, but I did some personal testing years ago when I had access to a treadmill and was able to jog longer with my hand cooled. 1. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/10/041006085310.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/10/041006085310.h... 2. https://gizmodo.com/stanford-is-building-a-body-cooling-glove-that-might-wo-5939295 https://gizmodo.com/stanford-is-building-a-body-cooling-glov...
- mcphage 7y agoYep, I bet that's it—thanks! :-)
