Both of these vests are meant to be worn under the clothes. I'll be testing these vests shortly and let everyone know how well they work. In the meantime, shoot me an e-mail if you want to purchase one and I'll send you the coupon code. Please note the year of your MS diagnosis (honor system). More details will be in our newsletter and at www.ActiveMSers.org.

The two vests have arrived and I'll be putting them through their paces over the next couple weeks. Stay tuned!

Vests are being frozen and prepped. I've never worn cooling aids under clothes before, so this should be interesting. I wonder how "concealable" they really are....

Id like the coupon code. Can you provide it, please?

Coupon codes are in the Member's Only section of the forum....

RPCM vest

My $.02: I decided to go with the Glacier Teck RPCM vest and got it in the mail yesterday. I went on a short walk yesterday and it kept my torso area cool on a 90+ degree, humid Oklahoma evening. The vest is definitely not concealable unless you are wearing a shirt 2-3x your normal size. It seemed a little heavy when I took it out of the packaging, but I didn't really feel weighted down once I was wearing it. My shirt was not soaked with sweat or humidity from the vest after the walk. The vest didn't seem to cumbersome and I plan to wear it during my bike rides.

Overall, it was pretty much what I expected.

Do you have a discount code for Veskimo cooling systems?

[ActiveMSers]

Not right now, but it is on my to-do list to ask them. If you reach them before I do, send them my way!

But it does allow you to post, so your efforts were not entirely in vane.

Pre-cooling vs. cooling during exercise

Dave,
You never said how you liked the concealable vest.

Wanted to know if you recommend using the cooling vest, to pre-cool the core before working out or using it during working out? I live in a very hot and humid climate - Alabama, and summer is here! The cooling vest I bought only stays cool for about an hour, and isn't suitable for long usage outside.

The reason I'm asking, I'm participating in my second triathlon this coming weekend. Temperatures are expected in the mid 90's. The run kicks my bu**, and I really pay for it when I get overheated!

Thanks!

Debbie, all testing results are posted on the main ActiveMSers site. I forgot to put the link here, though. Here you go!
