Reddit mentions of FlexiFreeze Ice Vest, Navy

You might want one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001P30358/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1466027537&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=cooling+vest

There is a cheaper version on Amazon that is advertised for this purpose: FlexiFreeze Ice Vest (Velcro Closure)

Typically they add a disguised vent or a couple of cooling fans or something. Domes, helmets, mascots & furrys with full head pieces, cosplays, etc.

For full body suits like that, or in warmer environments, some people make or buy a shirt or vest, with pockets sewn in for those gel pouches you put in the freezer

Adam Savage built a liquid cooling system that circulated water through tubes sewn to an undergarment, based on tech used in actual spacesuits. And I've seen a couple of projects that use solid state Peltier cooling units attached to a shirt or vest for cooling. And there are also commercial available versions of both of those, if you're less of a DIYer.

A vest with gel packs inside that can stay colder longer.

So, back when I lived in OC, we had the same issue at the apartment we had - hot as fuck and no AC. So, I bought this after too much wine, and too much heat. Everyone laughed at me - but I swear, everyone's who's put it on on days like this wants one. You look like an idiot, but even my wife grabbed it yesterday after biking home from work.

> Marz Direct

As of right now, searches on Amazon for Marz Direct as a vendor yields only one item being sold by them; some Dymo labels. There are other ice vests on Amazon though.

Well If you have a freezer at both ends of the walk, and have totally given up on any social acceptance, Ice Vests are a thing. Or you can hold your wrists, or head, or both (large veins, close to the skin) under cold running water to cool yourself.

...Because seriously. With what they spend on their kit, $180 USD is a drop in the bucket.


I'll have to read the SCA heavy combat rules again sometime and see. Back when I used to go watch these events I had no idea those vests even existed.

Edit: Thank you for the reply!

That's a good idea.

Something like this might be good.

And a CamelBak to stay hydrated. :D

something like this. does what it says on the tin, but they are usually only good for about 2 hours, then it's just another layer that holds heat

How about an ice vest?

If you're an HVAC installer, you may want to invest into something like
