Cool Vest

Postby bumper » February 25, 2009, 6:20 pm

Ok got mine today gave it i's first try between 1300 & 1500. It works seems to keep core body temp down. I had the Joe Rocket jacket over it. It felt a little damp but not uncomfortable. Heat index over 100F barely broke a sweat that is very unusual for me. I was in direct sunlight at slow speeds around town

My guess is each time you fuel up or take break it woudld be a good idea to soak it down again.

Makes a huge difference. Everywhere except my chest and back were hot as can be. Thy also make a doo rag I think it would be worth investing in both.

This doesn't mean that you will be like in aircon but it does make it bearable

More reports to follow as I use it.

Cost with shipping was 130 Dollars 1100 baht import tax.

So far not sorry I spent the money, I think we got real hot one coming this year.

Took the cool vest out agian today, this time I followed the directions worked fine. I wore a long sleve cotton shirt under it. It got a bit damp but in all honesty I think it helped the cooling efffect and didn't bother me one bit I've been told I can put patches on it by the manufactor so it's off for patches this evening.

Not an American biker I Take it :lol:

A do rag is a cloth device you wear on your head, to keep swat form making your helmet from stinking.

The one I'm speaking of also works while cooling as well I already have others now.

I don't know what Brits call them but I know they use them, one I have is the Brit flag.

In this kind of weather you would be buying a new helmet every month and the one we use are not cheap.

So what do Brit riders call them?
