Built to run cold
Your body was designed to keep your testicles cooler than the rest of you. They need to sit several degrees colder than core temperature to function properly. That is not an accident of design.
Fighters are in the sauna more than anyone. SaunaArmor™ is the piece of gear that lets you take all of that heat exposure without side effects to the one organ that stops functioning properly when hot. Your testicles.
Your testicles sit outside your body for one reason. They have to run several degrees cooler than the rest of you to work properly, and your body goes to real trouble to keep them there — the cremaster muscle drops them away from you as you heat up, and a dedicated network of blood vessels cools the blood on its way in.
A sauna overwhelms all of it. At 80 to 100°C there is nowhere for that heat to go. Your core temperature climbs and the one system your body built specifically to stay cool gets held hot for the length of the session — every session, most days, for the whole camp.
Sperm production and testosterone are both made in that heat-sensitive tissue, and both are known to be affected by sustained heat. For most men none of it is dramatic or permanent — but it is a cost, it stacks up across a camp, and it is completely avoidable.
You would not spar without wrapping your hands. Same principle, with one difference: you can feel a bad hand. You cannot feel this. That is exactly why it stays a blindspot.
You already do the things most guys skip. If you want to be the best, don’t leave any blindspots sitting in the middle of your recovery. Overheating the part of you responsible for your strength, drive and output every session could be affecting you more than you think.
Your body was designed to keep your testicles cooler than the rest of you. They need to sit several degrees colder than core temperature to function properly. That is not an accident of design.
A sauna is great for your body. What that same heat is doing to your testicles is something else entirely — and nobody ever told you it was happening.
There is no soreness, no warning, no signal of any kind. It happens every single session, and that is precisely why it goes unprotected.
Ask around old-school powerlifting and wrestling rooms and the same story keeps coming up: Soviet-era lifters chilling their testicles before a heavy session. Passed on by word of mouth in gyms and on forums, long before any of this became a trend.
Search it today and you will find bodybuilding boards, combat sports threads and YouTube channels full of men doing exactly this with ice cubes in a zip-lock bag — reporting the same handful of things. More drive. More energy. A better week.
Every man doing this has been improvising. Ice cubes. Frozen peas. Cold showers in the change room. That is the part we fixed.
SaunaArmor puts a cooling core exactly where your body wants it — shielding while you take the heat, and delivering cold on demand when you want to feel human again after.
Claim Bundle OfferContrast therapy is hot and cold working together. You already do both — everywhere except the one place that never gets either.
Recovery sauna, cut sauna, hot room work. The frozen insert sits in the active cooling core and holds a cooler pocket while the rest of you takes everything the session gives.
No sauna required. Freeze an insert, zip it in, sit for twenty minutes. The same thing fighters and lifters have improvised with ice cubes for decades — without the mess or the change room looks.
You do not need a sauna to use these. Plenty of guys buy them for the cold half alone.
A built-in active cooling core holds a reusable insert directly where it counts.
No ice cubes in a zip-lock bag. No bag of frozen peas balanced in the change room. No holding anything in place for twenty minutes.
See Bundle OfferKeep an insert in the freezer so one is always ready.
Slide it into the built-in active cooling core.
The fitted core holds it in place — completely hands-free.
Wear it into the sauna to shield, or sit with it for twenty minutes to ice.
Cold goes exactly where a whole-body plunge barely reaches.
The active cooling core holds the insert in place while you sit, move and relax.
The cotton layer separates the insert from direct skin contact.
Two reusable inserts let you rotate so one is always frozen.

For the fighter already doing the sauna, the plunge, the diet and everything else legal — who would rather the last overlooked variable worked for him than against him.
“One of the lads at the gym put me onto them. Assumed it was nonsense, bought them because of the guarantee more than anything. Six weeks into camp and I am not as flat as I usually am by now. Placebo or not, they are staying in the bag.”
“Insert in, sit for twenty, then go in. Sounds stupid, I know. But I have got more left for the last round of pads and I am sleeping better. Way less mucking around than the ice-in-a-ziplock thing I was doing before.”
“They do not make cutting weight fun, nothing does. But sitting with one in after a sauna session, I come out of it feeling less dead than I used to. For what they cost, that alone is worth it to me.”
“Used to sit in there half-thinking about what the heat was doing down there. Now I wear these in and pull the insert after. Do not think about it anymore, and I last longer in the room. Two birds.”

No. They cover a small area, so the effect on total sweat loss is negligible — you will cut the same as you always have, but without the collateral heat exposure to your fertility and hormonal function.
No. They are cotton briefs with a freezable gel insert. Nothing is ingested, nothing is absorbed, and there are no substances of any kind involved.
Use them before or after training rather than during. The insert is a firm frozen pack — it is made for sitting, saunas and recovery, not for sparring or rolling.
No. Plenty of guys buy these purely for the cold side — freeze an insert, zip it in and sit for twenty minutes at home, after training or before bed. The sauna use case is a bonus if you already live in one.
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™ Contrast Therapy 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™ Contrast Therapy Briefs while cold plunging as it can re-cool a thawed cooling pack.
Freeze it for 1-2 hours before use.

Remove the gel pack. Machine wash cold. Hang dry or tumble dry low.
Yes we ship most places! Your package will be sent out within 3 business days and may take between 8-15 business days to arrive depending on your shipment address.
Most guys use it three to four times a week, around twenty minutes a session, and wear it whenever they sauna. The inserts are reusable — freeze before use, follow the care instructions, and stop using an insert if it becomes damaged.
