Veskimo Personal Cooling System: http://www.veskimo.com/

The Veskimo Personal Cooling System combines a lightweight, breathable Personal Cooling Vest that is worn under your normal clothing, connected to a Hydration Backpack that is worn over your clothing. The body cooling vest is supplied with ice water circulated from the backpack via a high efficiency battery powered pump.

The system provides long term heat stress relief, even when worn under heavy insulating clothing, resulting in more effective body cooling than any other cool shirt or cool vest on the market. It creates a microclimate of cool that easily fits under a T-shirt, jacket or motorcycle leathers, providing comfort in a wide variety of activities while allowing maximum mobility.

Perfect for sports, racing, motorcycling, bicycling, construction and industrial uses in hot and humid environments, it is convenient and economical to operate using ordinary ice and AA batteries in a quick-change power pack. The system also serves as a source of on-demand, chilled, filtered drinking water.

i had made some researches and inquiries before.....about these cooling vest


meron sa u.s...costs about £150

forgot the name pero its also a vest..

though the mechanism of action differs slightly

whereas eto uses a backpack with a water pump for circulation,

that vest is a standalone....me liquid solution sa mga pockets nya all over the vest...

the solution is of special make....it can provide cooling effect for the next 4 hours...while ridng

the catch is...you have to freeze the vest [say chest freezer for the next 8-10 hours]---to maximize the cooling effect..less time in the freezer reduces the efficiency.

[parang solution na ginagamit sa mga portable coolers *sort of, my guess*]

pero merong hi tech freezers which can reduce the freezing time by 50%..say 4 hours...

but they are expensive [these ones are used by miners, fire brigade]

this vest is much compact, leaner, lighter compared with veskimo

pouring water over my shirt works fine for me. kahit tanghaling tapat pa sa summer. palit nalang ako ng tshirt pagdating ko sa destination ko. I wouldn't buy the product.
time tested na ang method ko. ginagawa yan ng mga nagbibisikleta, marathoners, and other athletes na nakabilad sa araw.

di kaya siponin ka nito?...ang init sa pinas tapos malamig ang jacket mo? :D

for me, i will not purchase one of this? it doesn't means that this veskimo can be alternate for our safety jackets! :D

anyway, nice innovation!:clap:
