My how life can change in a minute. In Phoenix at least. Normally, I spend ALL DAY EVERY DAY inside from May to October. That might be changing.
I got a cooling vest today!!! AND it was FREE! I am wearing it right now and went out to let my dog out and was not overheating as I normally am. Lets see tomorrow how it handles a 3 hour outing to the range, but I DO have high hopes. I'll post a photo later.

Free to keep, or is it a loaner?

I got a cooling vest on Amazon for around $40. I love it! It has removable ice panels that attach with velcro. I bought extra panels for about $10 a set. That way I have enough to last all day. I hope it works out for you, Earl.

years ago when I got my 'free' cooling vest from MSAA they say it is a loaner but they never ask for it back.

It was a gift from a friend of mine who makes Kool Tie wraps. He also used to make these and had a left-over.
Unlike the others I've seen, These don't require ice inserts. I submerge it in H2O for 2 minutes, hang on a hanger and ring out, then can wear it under clothes for up to 12 hours with only 2% coolness lowering. It's awesome!! It really changes the way I feel about living in Arizona. BTW, if you want to check out the Kool Ties, they are awesome, I have several of them. You soak them in H2O for 30 min and they stay cool for days. I wear them on my neck and wrists sometimes.
