Ergodyne Chill-Its 6665 Evaporative Cooling Vest, Lime, Large

This affordable Ergodyne Chill-Its Evaporative Cooling Vest is similar to the wet cooling vests worn by maintenance workers in very very hot power plants to stay cool - cool wet, vs hot sweat wet. I'm very warm natured. I catch a cold when i'm in cold air conditioning buildings or if i'm a mass of sweat during hot summer temperatures and a cold breeze hits me while I'm outside - I get sick. The 'dry' Ergodyne vest keeps me warm. When I ride my ebike, the lime Ergodyne vest is an excellent garment to wear 'dry' to shield me from the cool summer time winds. The lime color makes me visable on public roads with a lot of vehicle traffic, some are poor drivers using their cellphones. vest when I'm riding my lawn mower, to keep me warm from brief, but constant gusts of wind. When I'm outside with no winds, I wear the Ergodyne evaporative vest, wet, helps me keep my 'cool.'

I had an eight-hour motorcycle ride to get back home. The temperature was reported as "feels-like" 104º F. Fifteen minutes before I arrived home the car behind me decided to run the yellow light, the only problem, I was stopped at the light right in front of him. If I had not been 100 percent alert, I would have been creamed and possibly dead. This vest kept me cool and alert, saved me from heat exhaustion and fatigue and made my long ride home not only safer, but also fun. When the temperatures soar, this vest is always in my kit.
