    Who are cooling vests for?

    • Motorcyclists
    • Sportsmen and sportswomen
    • Emergency Services
    • Anyone who wants to enjoy the summer without being overwhelmed by heat

     

    How do they work?

    We have 3 styles of cooling vests which work in different ways to help you keep your cool.

     

    Evaporative Cooling Vest

    These use the natural effect of evaporation to cool you down.  When these vests are placed into water the specially made non-toxic  material absorbs hundreds of times its weight in water.  This stored water is then slowly released.  In hot areas this water will start to evaporate.  As it does it the heat from the wearer is transferred into the air helping to reduce your temperature.

    • Light weight.
    • Easy to use throughout the day.  If it dries out all you have to do is submerge in to water for hours more cooling.
    • No electricity is required making them perfect for people on the move.
    • The most affordable form of cooling vest.

    Phase Changing Vests

    These non-toxic vests have a large pocket front and back in which a refrigerated, frozen, water or air conditioned cooled pack can be inserted.  This flexible cooled pack will then help reduce the wearers’ temperature for up to 4 hours.  These inserts can be refrozen as and when necessary.  Each vest comes with one set of packs.  For all day cooling we suggest ordering extra packs which can be kept in a freezer or cooler until it is necessary to exchange them.

    • Hard wearing.
    • Works in high humidity.
    • Each cool pack can be reused.
    • Does not produce condensation.
    • Typically provides a cooler temperature than evaporative cooling vests.

    Second Jacket Purchased. Very happy with function and tweaked gell packs.
    July 29, 2023
    This is the second cooling jacket I've purchased. The last one was Techniche TechKewl 6626 for my spouse, so repeat buying says it all. We've been very happy with the 6626 model.

    The 2023 heat wave and high humidity made working outdoors, even in the morning, unbearable. (Sweat doesn't evaporate enough to cool you at 85 degrees and 98% humidity.)

    I was glad the see that the outer plastic material of the cooling inserts had been changed to something softer and more pliable. I believe previous leakage was due to the stiffer plastic giving way after repeated bending.

    We own and operate www.LEssardsGutters.com out of New Braunfels Texas. The temperatures here have been as high as 115 with heat index . My crews usually put these on around 2pm and they last 2 to 3 hours to help them finish the jobs.

    Meets my needs
    May 31, 2023
    Freezes in mean moments and stays frozen or at least partially frozen in extreme heat conditions.
    I’m a member of the 501st Legion and wearing a Darth Vader costume in the sun is now possible with the active cooling vet.
    Pros
    • Keeps cool for duration of my needs.
    Cons
    • Heavy

    Agent Orange Hyperthermia has tormented me for 14 years
    August 18, 2022
    Not as much anymore. The VA gave me two vests that don’t work well. The suffering from nerve damage and inability to cool my body is intense and deadly.
    This vest does the job perfectly. The constant 58f cools me down. Thank you so much, for the fair pricing! This vest is a life saver, life changer for me.
    Pros
    • Zipper allows flexibility in cooling and allows for readjustment of the cooling packs.
    • Vertical shoulder adjustment is great for seated users. Perfect for my wheelchair
    • Constant temperature
    • Easy to store in my frig inside the bag
    • I count on this vest to save me from deadly heat stroke!
    • Heavy duty Zippers
    • Shirt pocket for small items
    • Can you add 2 side pockets with Velcro on the outside of the vest? They should be roomy enough for a hand to reach into

    The vest cools very good
    June 3, 2022
    Very good product even got a ice chest to put it in, It was shipped Fed EX and took almost 2 weeks to get, Not sure why the shipping was so slow. I would have paid extra for faster shipping but did not show an option for it,
    I would buy again but I woild change the shipping to USPS, Or UPS , two weeks is just to long .

    Pros
    • I keep the ice tubes in the vest and place the whole thing in the frezzer , Gets cold fast.

    How about for dogs
    May 13, 2022
    Why can’t this vest be made for dogs?? You’d sell a million!
    Pros
    • Keeps them really cool instead of evaporative cooling which doesn?t work
    Cons
    • Very heavy for small dogs

    June 13, 2021
    I work in a UPS shipping hub, which during the summer can get horribly hot. I purchased this vest to try and help with that, and it did! It helped keep me cool for almost 3 hours into my 5+ hour shift, so I'll probably need to order an extra set of ice packs to swap out midway through. I do wish the packs sat a little higher, like on my chest and upper back instead of stomach and lower back, but I'm trying to see what kind of adjustments can be made. Also, the velcro shoulder straps needed some adjusting, as they kept popping apart when I was reaching up. But overall very helpful, and would recommend.
    Pros
    • Keeps cool for almost 3 hours, light
    Cons
    • less than ideal pack placement, velcro adjustments not secure enough for frequent wide ranges of motion. (But once you find a good fit, can probably be sewn or otherwise secured pretty easily).

    Our previous vests where a joke I rather sweat than wear them.our company bought us these for this summer and the first 90 degree day (outside) 120-130+ between machines we run maybe hotter. I wore this vest to give it a chance and I couldn’t be happier this vest will help prevent over heating will be wearing this at work all summer
    Pros
    • Works as you would hope and will help prevent heat stroke as long as you hydrate
    Cons
    • Could use a small neck pack to help keep brain cool in extreme temps,a little heavy but a worthwhile trade for cooling,lastly try rounding edges of inserts may lessen tearing and pulling of mesh lining

    Great For Laying Asphalt
    August 21, 2020
    I lay asphalt for my family’s company in southern Alabama. The heat index is usually 110 or so, and heat fatigue/stroke is a serious concern. I got to use this vest for the first time today, and it’s amazing how much it helped. Heat index of 110 and laying hit mix asphalt at 300+ degrees, and this almost cut all the heat out. The ice packs lasted about 2 hours or so, but again that is under extreme heat. I already ordered additional packs !

    Used while sitting in 90 + Texas deer blind and never got hot. Vest was still frozen after 3 hours.

    OK
    Works well!

    We used our vests while riding our motorcycle in a 95 degree day! They lasted for about 3 hours. They make a difference! The only disadvantage is they seem heavy to wear, but that was no problem sitting on the bike.

    Helps with summer heat
    July 8, 2020
    With Covid raging in Mississippi I have stayed away from my gym. I am left with walking in the heat and humidity of a southern summer. The vest makes possible. I also wear it when riding my motorcycle. Great purchase!
    Pros
    • Size adjustable. Keeps me cool.

    I am a Santa, the suit is very warm, and I need something to keep me cool. Some of my requirements are specific to Santa/mascot.
    Must keep me cool for minimum of 3 hrs. Must be lightweight,and comfortable but needs to be smooth on outside and not show the lumps from the cooling packets.

    + Product appears well made, and sits on me comfortably. Easy to adjust and stays the way you adjust it. V neck deep enough and vest smooth so does not show cooling pack lumps through my Suit. Under low-moderate everyday movement stayed cool for 3 hrs. I like that it has little velcro tabs on cooling packs to help keep them in place.

    - Product promises 58 degree cooling. After freezing packets in a -10 freezer over night only got 64 degrees. Total area of cooling in front is about 2/3 of what I need.
    Zipper is exposed - so it rubs on the inside of my suit, and does not appear heavy duty enough.

    Returned the product. A good vest, for most uses. Just can't match my heavy duty demands.
    Pros

    I purchased one of these many years ago for my three year old that has a medical condition. They were so nice and helpful. They made it so it could expand as my son grew. Well at 14 years old it is almost too little. I am going to buy a new one. Beat company ever.
