Cooling Vest with 8 Ice Packs - Heat Relief Vest for Men & Women

I am an industrial painter, the booth I paint in ranges from 90-110 degrees in the Florida Humidity and I wear non-breathable tyvek suits- long story short- summer is miserable! I ordered one of these with low expectations, but it has blown my mind how much of a difference it makes! The vest looks like a Walmart cashier vest (who cares) but is very adjustable and barely noticeable when wearing it. The biggest possible issue for me is dexterity while painting- this thing doesn’t get in the way at all. All of the ice packs are centered over your core and keep your temperature down great and super easy to use. It seems pretty durable, I bump into sharp corners frequently and haven’t popped any of the ice packs yet so quality and durability I give a solid 10 after 2 months of daily use. The packs last about 2-3 hours while I paint in 100 degree temperatures and it comes with 2 sets of ice packs so I can get about 6 hours of cooling a day. Notice I say cooling, not freezing, this vest will not make you cold, but greatly helps to keep your core temperature down and make the day more tolerable. I will gladly buy again if I break this one! Tip- do not overfill the ice packs or they can start to feel uncomfortable, and make sure you lay them flat when re freezing so they don’t poke you when you put the vest on and get even cooling.

I have MS and am very sensitive to high heat & humidity. This cooling vest REALLY has helped me to be able to participate in activity on hot and very humid days this summer! It’s very easy to use, also. My only complaint is that sometimes if I needed to bend forward the top ice pack on the back side has fallen out. It’s a simple fix with Velcro. It may look a bit odd when you put it on but the benefits outweigh those issues! The vest itself weighs very little. The size is easily adjustable and the ice packs were simple to activate and stay frozen for several hours. I like that you get 8 ice packs so you can switch them out when needed. This vest was a great investment!

This vest is great help at keeping you cool. It’s light weight, the cooling packs are gel packs and not overly heavy, but do the job and they freeze quickly. * tip - use something like a funnel or straw in the top of the port for easier/quicker filling. ** careful on the fill- I filled to minimum line for easier fit into the pockets. FYI- I’m 5’3”120 lbs and the vest was a little big, even at the smallest adjustable straps-so I crossed the straps on each side, which drew it tighter and up enough to fit. Helps in 100 degrees for about an hour. Freeze the extra packs and swap out, if needed. 2 other people in my family have bought this vest, including my 6’180” lb son and we all agree- it’s really helping us.

A little bulky, you have to make the gel packs yourself, which is fine but it's a pain in the tail because my sink doesn't really accommodate that kind of stuff so I had to fabricate a way to get the water in the tiny hole. Keeps you cooler but don't think youre getting a $200 value. They are nice in a pinch. The price makes it a good deal.

Would recommend! Wore the vest at work during the last 3 hours of my 12 hour shift, as it stated ice packs would last 2-3 hours in 80-90 degree temperatures. It was 95 degrees at work and the last 3 hours I spent moving the whole time. The vest definitely kept me cooler. It was comfortable to wear, I didn't have any weird pokes or irritants while wearing it and I am very sensitive to abnormalities. The ice packs did melt but they remained cold during that time. Even while they were frozen I didn't feel them. I filled them to the minimum level with water and laid them flat to freeze.

Absolutely the worst purchase. First of all, had to fill the pouches myself, usually when you buy an ice pack, the gel is already...... anyway, so after getting over that, and figured out how the packs go into the compartments. I don't understand why they give 8 pouches when you can only place 4. Maybe to switch out is all i can figure(you know nowadays they don't believe in sending instructions or a manual) 2nd red flag after having the ice packs in the freezer for 8 hours, not all of them became frozen. 3rd red flag, so after putting the 4 that were frozen in the compartments, i put it on, since it was 103 degrees outside, and had a 1 hour drive home. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DID NOT KEEP ME COOL AT ALL. Will be sending this back immediately.

I want to first say that I have not tried this above 90 F (32 C). It helps me at that temperature. I am at risk to serious heat related problems and do not willingly go out for long above 95F (35C)and start using it before it become dangerous. The nozzle for filling the ice packs was either missing or dropped as the package was opemed. A standard kitchen funnel worked fine. The ice packs took some hours to freeze in my freezer. My lunch kit gel packs worked. Maybe not as well as the packs that came with it. Those seem colder. These are not simple ice bags. There is a resin powder in them that does make them feel colder to the touch. It is easy to adjust the fit. I think the price was a good one for the vest and 2 sets of cold packs.

It works amazing, great addition to your kit if you work outside or go on long hikes. Don't expect it to be a miracle personal Air conditioned zone haha it's essentially just for keeping your core body temperature low. Ignore all the 1-3 star reviews it's pretty obvious they used it wrong or expected too much from it. Works super good with a sunhat and cooling towel I've used it in 110+ heat on concrete during a workday and it works.

Causes extreme pain in chest as packs can't be evenly distributed, only around your heart and stomach. Pack guidelines are not clear at all. The best feature is the bag that does help keep things full, but otherwise I would avoid this. I was unable to fursuit for any longer than normal in the suit

Pour un usage moto,sous le blouson avec la dorsale,c'est un peut encombrant.Surtout au niveau dorsale supérieure.Sinon niveau rafraîchissant.C'est un petit plus mais ne pas en attendre une grande sensation de fraîcheur.

Straps actually ripped off the vest with no pressure. Not fit for the purpose. Straps basically just disintegrated. Very cheaply made.

Quality isn’t that good for the price, I’m mean it’s ok but you can tell the quality isn’t very good and it’s small thought it would make bigger.. wouldn’t purchase again

Awkward to insert ice packs and to put on. 60 mins later and you need to re-insert.
