Pros & Cons
Pros
Awesome and truly lifesaving product. Works as expected. Hope it doesn't start not freezing as some reviews have stated.
You want the vest to be snug and make the stretch actually stretch so that the wet vest will get to your skin and cool you down. It soaks up a large volume of water and your clothes get slightly damp, but it's worth it to be comfortable when riding in... Read More
Cons
Great idea, if you stop every hour or so to recharge it. Material chafes, it cools you down but it gave me a bad rash.
It's bone dry in less than 2 hours, so i have to soak it over and over again all day long. Won't * in any water at all. Works for about an hour and then it's dry and worthless. No mid-layer material in many of the quilted pockets.
Erogdyne sizing chart says the large size fits 38-42 chest. Feels like wearing a lead shield for xrays. For a vest like this to be effective, it needs to fit snug against the body.
Highlights
Quality
Used it twice, very pleased with the results
I am very happy with the results.
With the humidity , we would have had sweated and been much hotter so it’s a fair trade off , especially with the price point.
Price
Wasn't expecting much as it was a last minute buy.
Competitiveness
If you don't want this to happen, buy one of the $75-$100 offerings from other brands.
I wore the vest over a t-shirt with no jacket and i would say it was good for an hour or so before needing to be submerged again.
I would suggest you order one size smaller than your usual.
