Kool Vests

[Buckaroo]

I have seen some websites advertising these. Thinking of getting one. Does anyone have one and what is your opinion of them? Really need one in Central Texas.

Helps some. Rode yesterday with vest in 100 degree heat. Made ride a bit more tolerable.

Thanks for reminding me; I forgot I had one.

The lower the humidity, the better they work. I like mine. Just make sure it fits tight, which helps with the evaporation process.

That being said, someone found a site last year where what they were selling didn't require it be wetted down. Someone did purchase and said it worked, I wish they chime in

Found the site: http://www.ldcomfort.com/
The shirt can be wetted down.

We have two kool vests and used them last Thursday for the first time this summer. We rode about 150 miles with the temperature over 100 degrees and it was comfortable. We re-wet the vests about halfway through the ride since the humidity was low enough to dry them out fairly quickly. In my opinion, they do help especially if the humidity is low. You can find them in a number of places but here's a link to a Fieldsheer vest at motorcyclegear.com, formerly known as Newenough.com

I know, us either. In fact we are still getting rained on. Got rained on this morning; not much but enough to irritate ya! I know that's nothing to y'all up in the Great North Wet, but down here it's news! :roflblack:

I wear a vest, but its Icon Field Armor. Love it. You don't even know you have it on. If it ever gets warm here I'll be abe to test out how it does in heat, :spyder:
