This is nothing new, already have this kind of vest like 10 years ago

[@markthompson7503]

Man I am retired now but this would have been awesome for my previous employment.

[@Happycamper10]

I need this! I do grounds work and it’s been brutal!

[@cr-cg7kn]

couldn’t drop a link to his product eh …?

[@mikee33oo]

no employees working out at that business is wearing a hat

[@GC1]

He has to start working on a hat!!! --- I had an idea, I’ll share it with this guys..

[@CajunPips]

But how does it work

[@ruentropypcmtechnology3800]

The HDPE panel is too hard and uncomfortable to wear. TPU encapsulated PCM cooling vest works much better than this one.

Like hard on your back, if you lean back against a chair??

[@alexandercspmx7322]

I have a better invention than that, if someone wants to fund my idea I can show it to you

[@mikeblank5139]

Your Vagueness.... has no person interested. If you want me to fund you, ..you have to get my attention !

[@Stablemable2]

Yeah I thought about cooling wear and vest. But watch corporation monopolize the idea and make cooling clothes as a substitute for climate issues. Climate change affects everything like food , livestock, costs, environmental,etc.
