Cool vests for drag racing

Looking into a vest to help stay cool. It seems that there are choices with coolant lines for maximum cooling. Then there is a vest with gel packs and a vest that is dunked in ice water. What are your experiences? The heat is too much for my 56 year old body.

Ah come on,gotta suck it up,or maybe let the wife drive.

^^^^ money well spent.

You replacing the cape with a vest?

well he is getting older

Just build a faster car. That way you don't have to sit in it as long.

Well I guess the old guy is going to get the RPCM vest for $180. Thanks for the recommendation. Is there a better cost to buy it elsewhere?
Some of us old guys dont want to go faster than 150 mph.

I only use the front packs in mine. The back ones dont work for my car seat but it still does the job for me.
