I know a lot of threads have been started about cooling vests but here is yet another one.

Do they actually work? Which one is good and where did you get it? Worth the price? Bulky?

The heat is on here and sure would be nice if cooling vests "worked."

I havent tried a cooling vest yet, but I've had good luck so far with wet bandannas wrapped around my wrists (or around the back of my neck)

It's interesting how a wet bandanna wrapped around my wrist makes the rest of my body feel cooler. I dont know why that works sometimes.

Never tried one.

My daughter used to swim competetively. When I'd go to an outdoor meet on a hot summer day, I'd wear a swimsuit underneath my clothes, and go soak my T-shirt in the water and wring it out.

Worked great to keep me cool!

I also do well with the cooling bandanas. around the wrist, the neck, and the head work great.

I ordered a vest thru a company, and havent heard if I qualified for help with it yet. Time will tell.

I used to have a cool bandanna. I have no clue where it might have gone.

It is so hot here right now. I drive for 3 hours in a delivery path on Fridays. It is getting more difficult to do.

I have no clue which one to consider plus I would love to hear from someone that actually has used it.

Dej - I know you were the last one to start a thread about the vests. I hope you get approved.

my bandannas arent anything special. Just buy them at Hobby Lobby when they're on sale. My dad uses them a lot.

I have a few that I got when I used to go to concerts when I was younger.

Right now, the bandanna that I've been using recently is one that I got at a KISS concert (the Animalize tour probably...)

I have a love/hate relationship with my cooling vest. I love it because it works. I hate it because it looks like a police mans bullet proof vest! But it does work. I wish I had more cooling thingys. It comes with these things that you put in front and in back but I can't sit against anything with them in the back. So I just use the front ones. We have an amusement park close by that doesn't allow coolers in the park unless you have a doctors order to carry something so i do have that. But I can't keep them frozen in there. So they don't last me all day. So i guess some one could say, Joyce you shouldn't go all day. But I want to!

I got it free through the MSAA cooling vest program. Go to their website and they will send you the info so you can get a script form your doctor and you will get a vest and some other cooling products all for free. It says you are only borrowing them but I have had mine for years and they have never asked for them back. They also have some other financial aide programs on their website.
