Bang for the buck!

The cooling vest worked better than I had hoped. Riding bikes in northern Rockies this summer we had days in the mid to upper 90’s F. Wore the vest under my jacket and was surprisingly comfortable for at least 3-4 hours. Wife had one too and agrees. Once we got a little too warm we would stop and re-soak the vests. For the price this product was more than worth it.

It does the job.

I'm quite satisfied with this vest. During this July and August heatwave of '23 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, I postponed my daily two mile walk until evening to wait for the temperature to get down below 100 degrees. This vest made the trek enjoyable again. I found it helped to use a few safety pins to shorten the elastic gussets on the sides so it would fit a bit tighter, but once that was done, it worked like a charm. Now I let it do the sweating for me. I got the one in bright yellow so the traffic could see me even at night. Love it.

Great for horseback riding in the heat

Game changer for riding in heat and humidity 90+ temps. I soak this when I get to the barn and put it on as soon as it’s wet.
Pros
- Keeps me a lot cooler at the horse barn

We work in CT and this cooling vest takes the edge off of a hot day. If you are part of the workforce that fiddles with the thermostat trying to find where it's cool enough but not too cold, this ain't for you. If you have to use your mind, hands and body in all kinds of weather and conditions to make a buck- get yourself one or two of these and the most miserable days will be a little less miserable. Stay on the right side of heat stroke/heat exhaustion.
Pros
- Super lightweight, does not limit range of motion or "dig in" anywhere on the torso, vest allows you to 'show off the guns'. Initial quality of sewing is excellent on this garment.

I bought this for my 34-year old daughter who has MS. The hot summer days are very debilitating, but she has two school-age children who still want to go to the beach... She took them to the county fair one afternoon and swore the vest "saved her life." As a mom, I am grateful to find a product that really helps her.

Cooling Vest

The vest arrived in a timely order and was what I expected. It has not been used yet because of the weather change but I am sure anxious to try it out.

Fits Large
June 6, 2018
I am overall pleased with the vest. I wear a 40 in suit jacket which should be the Large. By removing the elastic gussets, I'm able to get a comfortable fit. For me, subtracting 2 inches from my chest size and then using the size chart would put me in a Medium, requiring no alterations.
Pros
- Old-school technology that works
Cons
- Fits large. Not as effective in high humidity, a problem with any evaporative cooling garment.

I ordered 2 of these, one for my wife and one for myself to wear while riding our motorcycle. We rode 3 days in Texas Hill Country in 100-104 degree heat and they work very well. Be sure to soak very good to start with and don't ring out too much water (they last longer that way). We wet them overtime we stopped and we really could tell a difference (of course at 100+ temps, nothing can help much). I definitely recommend them!
Pros
- stay dry lining is great
Cons
- very hot weather, you have to wet often

Money well spent!

I ordered my Hyperkewl vest for a two week trip I had planned in late August/early Sept. from Minnesota to Colorado and back again. I rode in weather as warm as the high eighties on some days, and being born and raised in Minnesota, that is way above my comfort level.
I don't like to ride without protection so I wear an open mesh armored jacket in warm weather. The Hyperkewl vest performed better than expected. I would soak it down at gas stops and it would keep me very cool & comfortable for hours, even with the mesh jacket over it!
The other feature I liked was the light weight of the vest after it dehydrated. When dry, it weighs almost nothing and can be easily folded into a small package and stored. As a bonus, the dry vest served as an additional layer of warmth when riding in the mountains in cooler weather. Very pleased with my purchase and would purchase again!
