Your body has a cooling system
The scrotum helps maintain a cooler environment for normal sperm production under everyday conditions.
Your sauna habit is not the problem. Leaving one of your body’s most heat-sensitive systems completely exposed is.
Most men who sauna are doing it to improve their health, recovery and performance.
They track the temperature. Replace electrolytes. Limit their time. Some even protect their head with a sauna hat.
But almost nobody thinks about protecting the one part of the male body that naturally sits outside the torso to remain cooler.
The sauna is not the enemy. The blind spot is exposing your entire body to extreme heat without any targeted protection over the testicles.

A cold plunge or cold shower can cool your body after the session—but it cannot erase the testicular heat exposure that already happened inside the sauna. In the Padova study, the affected semen markers recovered only after sauna exposure stopped and time passed, with complete reversal documented months later rather than minutes afterward.
Post-sauna cooling happens after the exposure. SaunaArmor is designed to reduce the exposure while it is happening.
SaunaArmor creates a localized cooling barrier over the testicles while the rest of your body remains exposed to sauna heat.

“I didn’t realize how much subconscious anxiety I had about the heat damaging my junk until I wore these. I can actually focus more and stay in for longer.”
“The cooling felt subtle, lasted through the session, and helped me stay in for 22 minutes without watching the clock.”
“Hands-free, no dripping, and the cooling insert stays securely inside the pouch. The zipper feels high quality too.”
You protect your head. You replace your electrolytes. You track your time.
Do not leave your testicles as the one part of the protocol with no protection at all.
Sperm cells begin to become unviable from prolonged exposure to temperatures above 99°F (37°C). This is a massive issue during sauna sessions when your internal body temperature can reach as high as 106°F (40°C). Studies have shown that regular sauna sessions (2+ a week) can significantly impair sperm count and concentration, taking months of avoiding heat for levels to return to normal.
Each pair of briefs comes with 2 freezable cool packs.
We recommend keeping the cool packs in a thermally insulated bag with ice to keep them cold when you aren't using them immediately.
SaunaArmor™ Briefs creates a localized cooling barrier. The gel pack keeps your testicles within a safe physiological temperature range (~35°C) while the rest of your body gets the full benefits of the heat.
The cool pack is designed to stay cold for the duration of your typical sauna session roughly 30 mins. Even once the cool pack has thawed, it provides a layer of thermal insulation which helps prevents your testicles from overheating.
Yes, it is ideal to continue wearing the SaunaArmor™ Briefs while cold plunging as it can re-cool a thawed cooling pack.
Freeze it for 1-2 hours before use.
