i was putting tablecloths on for my graduation party and the heat definitely got to me, outside for about 20 minutes. i was wobbly and shaky, been in bed for the last 3 hours feeling blah, i don't make the cutoff to get a free cooling vest, do you think it's worth the money?

if i bought one, i'm thinking this would be the one, i just lost my job, praying i find one soon! i have money saved up, so i'm fine for at least the rest of the summer. do you think it's worth it to buy one now?

Hi,
YES!! Worth every penny. In the meantime place ice on ziploc bag, wrap in bandana and around your neck , wrists or ankles if you are going to be outdoors. Heat can ruin anybody's day. There is also a hat that cools you.

It's a wise investment. I would never make it through the day without it. Check out Polar Products.

I had to make one of my own. What I did is I took a fishing vest with all the pockets and the back unzips. I then took cold packs different sizes for each pocket and placed them in ziplock bags once frozen I placed them in all the pockets. Yes I looked like I was going fishing but until I can get a vest of my own. I am saving my life. Good luck. I will get a vest someday but until then I do what I have to do.

Spotted this site for making your own ice packs:

I have to admit that I have not tried this, but have it saved in case I would like to give it a go. Just a thought.
