Default Evaporative cooling vests...

I just bought a cooling vest from Fieldsheer and was wondering if anyone has had experience with these vests and how well do they work. As soon as I get mine and use it I will post a report.

Have spoke to people that love that type of vest. They say they can ride all day and not dry them out, and yes they work!

I have an evaporative vest.&nbsp\\; I commute every day 80 miles in Phoenix.&nbsp\\; It works!&nbsp\\; Iwould dispute the stays hydrated for days claim but it is routinely over 105 degress here.&nbsp\\; If you ride in the heat it is a great investment.
