TechNiche InternationalTechKewl Phase Change Cooling Vest - Black

Excellent vest! Well made I work in Scottsdale Az during the summer and it keeps me cool

I bought this for my husband who has been using this cooling vest for his job, which often times requires him to work in a room with large, hot running engines. He says it keeps him cool for about 2 hours while he gets his chores done in the engine room. He says the quality is good and the velcro straps on the shoulders and sides allow him to adjust the vest to the contours of his body for more effective cooling. (For reference, hes a larger man who wears an XXL). I also like that the ice packs are longer and larger than the ones in other cooling vests such as the Flexifreeze so they stay cooler longer.This vest gets 4/5 stars for 2 reasons. First, it's too expensive for what it is. Cooling packs and vests aren't a new technology. Secondly, my husband said the included bag is cheaply made. We aren't unnecessarily picky by any means and can make things work if we have to, but considering I'm paying about $150 for a vest & bag to keep those cool packs cold, the quality of the bag should be as good or nearly as the good as the vest. This bag isn't likely to last nearly as long as the vest. You can see where corners are being cut. Not cool, Techkewl. Make a better bag.

The vest is overall nice and well made. They are pretty true to size, but for females the top may stick out over the chest once the packs are frozen. The ice packs do not cool as well as I would like, though I do wear the vest over a shirt. The vest has been worn in 100 degree F weather, and does not keep me as cool as I would like. I have decided to add some more ice packs to the vest to help it be more effective.

Wore fior 12hrs changing packs every 3hrs(I have 2sets) performed very well, kept me cool all day. If yoyu need to stay chilled all day. You won't be disappointed.

Great product

Extends walking range dramatically in the middle of the day with the sun shining directly above my head. It would be great for hikes around 6 miles in total length. Definitely need to refreeze the packs for maximum use.

Only last about 2 hours with limited cooling ability .

Does exactly what it is supposed to do...my husband has an older one and keeps telling me how much nicer mine is then his. I think he wants mine.
