Cooling vest works great!

August 30, 2023

I bought 2 vests to wear in a very hot kitchen. They work great. One of the vests got caught on a shelf and the side buckles ripped. It has been repaired. Tip--take your time filling the gel packs so they are not too full. They fit in the vest pockets better if they are properly made.

Stay Cool

This saved me on a trip in extreme heat. It stayed cool long after the ice packs melted.

Works Well Enough

July 13, 2023

For the price this is a good buy--it fits, it's adjustable, and it holds ice. I wasn't able to find anything comparable at anywhere close to what this costs. I didn't have any issue filling the included ice packs and they fit snugly in the vest. However, some of the ice pack pockets on the vest aren't quite large enough for the velcro closure to stick together when full. Also, as other comments mention, the zipper and side straps feel rather cheap. I've only used the vest twice now so I can't comment on actual longevity but I'm skeptical that it'll last years on end--which, considering what it cost and how well it works, is acceptable.
I've worn this vest three times now in temperatures around 110F, twice on a 30-minute motorcycle commute. It kept me significantly cooler than my normal water-soaked scarf did and the ice packs were maybe 15% melted at the end of the half hour ride. I put them in a freezer while at work and they were fully solid again at the end of the work day. No leaks yet but whatever holds the ice packs closed seems marginal at best, and I'll be vacuum-bagging the ice solution soon to make sturdier bags.
I'd like this vest a lot more if it had pockets for ice packs in the armpit area, as there's a lot of blood vessels right under the skin in that area and the cooling effect would be a lot more powerful. That would require an all new design though, and would make the vest harder to use for things like yard work.
For some background I am a healthy, fit adult male that bought this vest purely for commuting to and from work on a motorcycle in the Phoenix summers. It works great for that purpose and I'll recommend it to anyone else crazy enough to ride in this heat.

Great cooling, terrible zipper

July 27, 2022

This vest is a huge help in keeping me from having heat stroke. It's comfortable and it really cools me down in the worst weather. However, the zipper failed on the very second day I wore it. I've been using various DIY methods to keep it closed in front-- velcro, belts, clips, ties. Still, even with that hassle, it's so helpful, and at less than half the price of similar vests, I'm grateful it exists!

Pros

Keeps me cool for hours

Cons

Zipper broke on 2nd day of wear.

Great product

July 7, 2022

Heat stroke and sun stroke are issues always present working outside in temperatures that reach 100 degrees. Last year I bought one as a trial for the one person willing to try it. The gel packs stayed cold for hours so this year I bought two more, one for each man, so there is always one in the freezer if someone forgets to put the one they're wearing to refreeze. The vests are being used daily during this hot summer in Florida and both men praise them for helping endure the heat. I would strongly recommend them for anyone working outside even if it isn't for long periods of time. Keeping your core cool and a hat on your head are the best protection. Great product and well worth the price.
