    Good advice, MasterBlaster. Like what you said, it seems to last about an hour for me before I need to replace/recharge the gelpacs.

    Thanks MasterBlaster! Then planning to order the neck coolers soon. Planning on using the vest for real today on my cleanup job... supposed to be in low 90's. Got a cooler just for the cooling packs. Will be trying out a couple of inexpensive refreezable plastic freeze packs (instead of ice) to...

    Coolvest initial trial: I push mowed from 11am to 3pm, approx 4 miles, with about 1:15 hour rest time. Heat index averaged around 92-96. Swapped out cooling packs 3 or 4(?) times... (After an hour they were about half melted.) I'm tired and feel some heat effects, but I believe the Coolvest...

    Fighting The Heat!!!

    I had had my doubts too, when they never answered my emails. But I finally called them last week, left a voice message about my disappointment with no response, and got a call back about 5 minutes later. Like SeanKroll said, they appear to be a small company. They warehouse guy who called me...

    I have decided (I think) on the high visibility reflective vest with protect pack https://www.glaciertek.com/high-visibility-cool-vest-with-protect-pack/ But the description doesn't say if it is the "Original" or the "Classic" model. And I need to get the "Original"model because the "Classic"...
