Scottsdale, Arizona  : – ExtremeMist™ PCS, a company dedicated to keeping people safe during outdoor activity, is pleased to announce it has partnered with REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.) to offer its Personal Cooling Systems in-store and online. These hands-free, professional misting systems are designed to keep outdoor enthusiasts refreshed, hydrated and safe during activity.

REI will initially offer two ExtremeMist products in select retail stores nationwide and on REI’s website. This includes ExtremeMist™ PCS Retrofit Kit, which installs onto any hydration backpack to add a cooling mist that can lower temperatures up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The lightweight system provides 2-in-1 hydration to drink and mist from the same reservoir for continuous cooling.

“Our new partnership with REI will make it easier than ever for outdoor enthusiasts to stay refreshed and safe during warm weather activities,” said Ron Laikind, Founder of ExtremeMist. “As an extreme adventurer who has trekked through deserts, mountains and everyplace in between, I know the importance of staying hydrated for peak performance. I invented ExtremeMist PCS to be lightweight and easy to use so you never have to slow down to cool down.”

ExtremeMist’s Personal Cooling Systems are rugged and compact, weighing just 16 ounces and featuring a high-pressure pump with multiple speeds, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and wireless remote. The systems also come with special nozzles, connectors and hoses.

These durable cooling systems are unlike other personal misters because they are professional grade, hands-free and built tough for extreme adventures.

ExtremeMist products make the perfect holiday gift for runners, hikers and cyclists. They are also beneficial for people who walk with kids and pets, those traveling to warm weather climates, and anyone who works outside for long periods.

REI selected ExtremeMist products for in-store and online purchase after Laikind presented his product at REI’s Co-Op Innovator event held in April at REI’s corporate headquarters. REI quickly agreed that ExtremeMist products would be an excellent fit for its customers.  The ExtremeMist PCS Retrofit Kit is now available in select REI stores nationwide and online, with additional products to be available soon.  To view the full line of ExtremeMist PCS products visit www.ExtremeMist.com
