Default cooling vests
hi everyone,

i'm thinking of buying a cooling vest for this summer.
has anyone got one they like? what brand is it? how does it work?

i had one in the past where you put the small ice packs in it but i've outgrown it.

thanks for your help.

MSAA, Multiple Sclerosis Association of America gives them away to people with MS. Check their web page: http://www.msassociation.org/

I've bought a couple items from this company. They work very well for me:

A very highly recommended one is the Arctic Heat; http://www.arcticheatusa.com/

The one that Active MSers rates the best. They have lots of information; http://www.activemsers.org/gear/reviewcoolingvest.html

They used to have a discount code for the vest, if you email them they will give it to you.
