Does anybody know of a particularly good cooling vest that would allow me to do a little yard work this summer? I am simply tired of getting overheated and burned out in ten minutes.

I have one from Coolmedics (coolmedics.com), it works great, and bonus, it is actually kind of cute too! They also have a cap thing that goes under a hat, which is perfect when you don't want to look silly in public.

The MS Association of America (MSAA) will send you a cooling vest for free - just fill out a few simple forms and include note from your doctor saying you have MS. I got mine last year and it was great! They also send some extras - you have choices of pillow cases, neck wraps, headbands, etc.

Hi Marion . I have one that Bets gave me last year (what a sweetheart ). I have gained weight and it is practically new. It's a size small. If you think it will fit you I'd be happy to send it to you. Pm me if you like .

cooling vests work well.
so does a cooling collar. i got several a walmart for under $5 one summer. i used them at work and they were great. you could google, and also check with your local MS society for info. but, i've heard that MSAA is a great source of help.

Joelle, thank you so much for such a generous offer, but I am a rather large person (6’ tall in my stocking feet) so I will require a large size vest.

Bets, I checked the website you mentioned, and you're right,a cooling vest that's actually cute! Does it work well?, is it wet when you put it on?
Thanks, Diana |
