NJDGFCooling Safety Vest with 6 Ice Packs Reflective Vest with Pockets high visibility vest for Men Women

A littleheavy

I spend about 4 to 6 hours once every week attending to my 1 acre jungle. Here is my setup when I go out. I live in Central Florida where the temps are in the high 90's and the humidity is just outrageous right now. I wear a full length, long sleeve navy jump suit, high top military boots, gloves, neck shade and hat. I also wear a neck fan. After wearing the vest a few times, I can tell you that it really works. Some of the ice bags do leak, but that's ok with me because it cools me down and makes the vest lighter as the hours go by. I switched to quart freezer bags instead so that I can refill them with ice as needed and they don't leak. The vest is heavy when full of ice, so take that into account. I wish the zipper was longer and came further up the chest more. The vest is quite large, (I am 5'9, 160 lbs), but when full of ice it kinda works out. In the past I would have to take an extended break every hour or so and it would take me all day to finish the yard. Now I just come in once to refill the ice bags and get drink of gatorade. At the end of the day I don't feel punished by the heat and my core temperate stays low through out the whole day. Bottom line, I like it.

I like that the colours of the vest are bright for drivers to see you when walking at any time of day

I like that it came with ice packs

I work in a warehouse in Texas that is not temp regulated and was desperate for a way to stay cool. This vest does the trick however the ice packs don’t have a seal so they leak really easily once it starts melting and the Velcro is already tearing after a week. Still worth the buy but going to look for different ice packs to use instead.
