Product Description

Product Description

PLEASE NOTE: THESE VESTS NOW RUN SMALL SO PLEASE ORDER ONE SIZE LARGER. TechNiche garments are made with a unique Polymer Embedded Fabric (PEF). When submerged in water for 60 seconds, the PEF absorbs water and stores it inside powerful polymer crystals. The encapsulated water then evaporates slowly (8-12 hours) creating an extended cooling effect. EVAPORATIVE COOLING VESTS allow Outdoor enthusiasts to stay cool for hours. The inner liner is 100% Nylon Taslan which is a water repellant fabric and thus provides the user with a cool, but dry garment. They are lightweight, reusable over and over, and available in sizes - XS, S, M, L, XL and XXL (see size chart in images) and in the following colors: Silver, Black, Blue and Lime. These vests are designed to be worn outside of other clothing to ensure proper evaporation of the absorbed water. Please note, the evaporative cooling vest can lose its effectiveness and ability to hold moisture if it is used only occasionally.

5.0 out of 5 stars My own personal air conditioner!, September 9, 2008

By	Ramona25H (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews

I absolutely love this vest. I live in Northwest Florida and our highs even now are in the high 90's with humidity approaching 90%.. It's also hurricane season and after living through Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis, I know if the power goes out, I'm still set.

I have Lupus and am VERY sensitive to heat. I put this vest on and I felt like I was in my own personal air conditioner! I have discovered you can control how long the crystals will stay activated. The longer the vest is submerged, the longer it stays cold. I have found that a 1 minute dunk is good for the day. Leave it longer and it can stay cool several days. I don't have a lot of hand strength to squeeze the water out, so I also roll the vest in a towel until I am ready to go outside. Size does run snug, but not too small. Several friends, as well as my doctor who has many patients who are intolerant to heat, have asked for the website address.

Also, this is the best price for this item that I have found on the Web.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a real cool vest, August 13, 2008

By	lynn buttram (calif) - See all my reviews

The vest came before I expected it to. It works fairly well for what it is and has been a lifesaver for me since I have MS and it has been 100+ degrees outside. THe only thing I didn't understand was the instructions stated "submerge insert in water"...it is not like the vest comes apart...you submerge the whole vest..Yesterday I used it and this mornig parts of the vest is still cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did I survive without this vest before?, June 16, 2009

By	William A. Carr ""Wild Bill"" (SoCal) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got my Evaporative Cooling Sport Vest just in time for my road trip from Southern California to Tombstone, AZ on my Harley. Palm Springs was 108 deg. and we had triple digit temperatures for most of the ride. I wore a white long sleeve t-shirt with the cooling vest over that and my leather riding vest over that. I re-soaked the vest at every fuel stop and it worked great! I was cool and very comfortable the whole ride. Now I don't let the heat stop me from doing road trips through the desert in the summer anymore. Best $27 I ever spent!
