Cool Vest

Anyone using one?

we used one that took ice packs when we raced 4x4's. there were a lot of the cooling systems like http://www.coolshirt.net/

I was actually looking at this one. http://www.coolvest.com/About/Default.aspx The heat just kills me since I have gotten older.

I think that's the one my friend uses. He said he wishes he'd have found it sooner...

I've been thinking about the same thing Randy. Most anything would have to help.

Dave - I just made the order so I will let you know what I think of them after a few races.

Yeah....keep us informed please.

I saw the posts for a Cool Vest, we are the manufacturer of the Glacier Tek RPCM Cool vest that is being tested now. I would be pleased to answer any questions that the group may have, and if there is enough interest, we may be able to put out a coupon code that can be used for discounts on the vests. Please reply through the forums and I will do my best to accomodate

The painter at work swears by them, he's been letting me try out his neck packs and they really help.

Hope it works out!

Ive used one, they're great, really helps when you get stuck in the lanes.

This is the one that I have, from Cool Sport.

It comes with 4 gel packs, 2 for front and 2 for the back. I just use the front ones, since it feels very uncomfortable to have the back ones in while sitting in the car. That is good, because you can have 2 in the freezer, or cooler, recharging while you just use the 2 front ones.
I think it costs about $172. I have used it for about 5 years, only on really hot days...

As I get older the heat seems to effect me more, this summer has been extremely bad. I looked at your product and am thinking hard about buying one. If you can provide a coupon code that would be great, every little bit helps.

A cool-vest would be great just for mowing the lawn in these damn 104+ degree days.
