    Szajer, buy a set, you will never regret it. I am a no BS kinda guy and can tell ya these are a must have in your climate. You will need to pack a cooler with ice to recharge the spare set and just rotate through them as needed. When you first put them on it feels "cool" but after a bit you...

    Damn Scott that is impressive that you still get out and run after work every evening. I cannt find the energy in the summer. Hey just my opinion but you should start riding. Back in Europe I knew plenty of 80 year old cyclists who would come out and do a 40 mile club run. Dont see too many old...

    Shoot I almost feel bad, it hasn't gotten hot here this year! We had a week or so of hot but that was the only time I used my cooling vest!! This I think has been the coolest year in VA since Ive been in the US (1991).

    Yup they are for vests but they suck as they have a lot less coolant per pack due to the squares. However the construction allows you to cut them in half so you can put them in your helmet. Man it feels good for about 1/2 hour....

    Fighting The Heat!!!

    Cannt say Ive noticed. I have 2 sets of packs in a cooler of ice every morning with my lunch and drinks. About 10-30 11ish I put it on and just cycle through them the rest of the day. Weird thing is the other day my machinist wore it for about 1/2 hour then took it of, said it didn't cool him...

    Hey MB, got the vest back, thanks. Im going in to the shop today so will take 2 vests with me. One for me and one for my machinist. Supposed to be 100 today and man when we are welding it gets HOT in that shop. I was ranting about these vests 2 years ago but nobody was interested, they save me...

    Fighting The Heat!!!

    MB Ive been wondering if we should buy a cheap insulated winter vest and mount the cool packs inside that, sounds crazy but makes sense if you think about it. Do you see what I mean about the vest not feeling cool after you have had it on for 10 mins or so but still it does the job.... FWIW I...

    my wires on top ( oh er sounds rude) MB I still think you should try your vest out with a good insulator over top of it to reduce heat loss to the air......

    Evaporative cooling won't work in high humidity situations. Butch you need to check these out.... http://store.coolvest.com/p-1-original-rpcm-cooling-vest-high-visibility.aspx I have one and it works pretty well, cools for about 2-3 hours so you need a spare set of packs which are about $100...

    Fighting The Heat!!!

    Hey MB on the website it says to wear an insulation layer over the vest which is logical as it will keep the cool in and it will also protect the vest. You could get one of those thermal vests that used to be in style years ago, people will be amazed at the guy in the tree dressed for winter in...
