Van, I think this is the one that Terrie and I looked at, at the BMW dealership.  How long did it take to get, once you ordered it?  I suppose it works like the Cool Snakes that were popular a few years ago?

Holly had one of these, if you remember, from our Yosemite ride last year.  I have a pretty good idea how long it lasts hourly but I wonder how many years one could expect to get out of it?  For those of us in the southwest, it's almost a "must" in the summer. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Jock, Holly, a lady who has rode with us and is a very good friend of mine uses one in the summer.  She's in our age group somewhere (how's that for diplomacy?) and she swears by it.  I know last summer when we were riding and it was close to 100 degrees, when we stopped, she seemed to be the only one that wasn't fried and overheated.  For $100 I'll be investing in one before Cripple Creek.

I think it'll end up being like my heated gear and my Schampa Skinnywear for the winter.......once I had it, I wondered how I ever lived without it. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

JC,

Well that does it...being lookin' at them on the web for several months now. I have been seeking the right testimonial and I just got it.

Looks like a vest and a shirt will be in order.

Van, when the vest is activated (with the water) does it feel about like you're wearing a heavy leather jacket (weight-wise)?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  spyder

Thanks so much for the tip.  I did not order the vest, but I did go ahead and get three Long Sleeve shirts, one for Mr We, his brother and I for our trip next week.   ;) [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Hmmm. I wonder if you used beer..... nah, that wouldn't work the fluid wouldn't stay in vest long enough to do any good. [smiley=confused5.gif]

Hey Jock, JC, Van.......did you guys order the black or the silver colored vest.  Black looks better in the pics, but wonder if it'd be too hot in the sun???   I'm waiting to get a 'road-test' review from one of you guys before I make the 'plunge'   [smiley=bath.gif] har!  spyder
