1. ADJUSTABLE, CUSTOM FIT
It is important for cooling vests to fit snug to the body for optimal cooling. This cooling vest has adjustable hook and loop straps at the chest, waist and shoulders for a snug, comfortable and customized fit. The poncho is available in one adjustable size that fits most, making it ideal for working environments when the vest is shared with multiple wearers.

2. CONVENIENT AND EASY TO WEAR
This vest is easy to put on overhead. The clean design (with no logos or visible pack pockets!) can be worn over clothing or discreetly underneath. This is a great vest for wearing beneath uniforms or costumes.

3. COMFORTABLE 100% COTTON
The cooling vest shell is constructed of durable and machine washable 100% cotton twill.

4. COOL58® COOLING PACKS
Cool58® cooling packs freeze solid at a moderate and comfortable temperature of 58° Fahrenheit, so they can be activated in a freezer, refrigerator, or even a bucket of ice water. (Please note: cooling times are estimates and will vary depending on climate, body metabolism and activity.The vest includes four (4) Cool58® cooling pack strips. See "6. VARIABLE WEIGHT" below for more information on pack dimensions and weight.

5. INSULATED PACK POCKETS
Packs fit into insulated pockets inside the cooling vest. The pockets have a comfortable all-cotton fabric to protect the skin and an insulated outer composite fabric to direct the cooling energy toward the body. Temperature may also be adjusted for comfort by increasing or decreasing the number of clothing layers beneath the vest or the number of packs used.

6. VARIABLE WEIGHT
We offer two (2) sizes of Cool58® Pack Strips to keep the vest weight in proportion to the wearer's size:
  • 5" x 12.5" pack strips with 400g of cooling material; each pack weighs 0.88 lbs. for a total vest weight of just 4.0 lbs.
  • 6" x 13" pack strips with 500g of cooling material; each pack weighs 1.1 lbs. for a total vest weight of just 5.5 lbs.

See the size chart for more information.

How to find your size: 

This vest is adjustable at the shoulders, chest and waist. Therefore, it will fit a large range of sizes. These measurements may help determine the best size for you.
  • To measure the chest and waist circumference: First, wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest and under your armpits, making sure to keep the tape parallel to the ground. This determines your chest measurement. Then wrap a measuring tape around your natural waistline (usually across your belly button), making sure to keep the tape parallel to the ground. See where the larger of the two measurements fall on the size chart. Please note: The vest circumference is independently adjustable at the chest and waist with hook and loop strap closures. if you think you are in between two sizes, order the next size up to accommodate the cooling packs. 
  • To measure the vest length: Hold the tape measure at the highest point of your shoulder. Look straight ahead and pull it down to your natural waist. Mark this measurement on the tape measure with your thumb. Please note: The vest length can be adjusted at the shoulders. When in doubt, order the next size up to accommodate the cooling packs and to prevent the vest from looking too short. 
  • Please note: the weight range is simply a guide; there are many exceptions for different body types. The optional extension strap kit includes extension straps for the waist, chest and shoulders. The extension strap kit adds up to 20" in circumference and 5" in length to any vest size. This allows an extra fit adjustment for large people, extra long torsos or extra large chests or waists on smaller people. Click here to purchase the extension strap kit.

Details: I am shocked at how effective this is. I tend to turn bright red when I get too warm. The vest helps this not happen. I am an MS sufferer and this helps more than I can say.
