Ice Water Circulating Cooling Vest Review. Cool yourself off very quickly!

I heard on the radio this morning that July 2023 was recorded as the hottest month on record. Some places reaching over 115F for days on end. I know this is an off grid channel, but I felt this product was worth reviewing. I didn't have much hope, but it worked surprising well!

Several of the roofers use this exact model around here. They keep dozens of the ice bags in the truck12 volt freezer. The ground man tosses the bags up to the roofing crew as needed. Then the roofers change the ice bags for each other as needed. They also wear big umbrella hats. They say it's a game changer. They work longer, faster and make more money. And on some days, they work in heat that would keep them off the job if they didn't have these vest. They say the vest are too short at the waste and to narrow at the top of the shoulders.

[@OffGridBasement]

Thanks for sharing! The vest is "one size fits most". Great example of real world use.

[@Slick53590]

I just got mine in the mail today and let me say WOW! I am very impressed! I just put a frozen bottle of water in the water pouch and it worked great! I Will be using it for hiking. I hope this thing has some longevity because it is awesome! I have to say though, it is kind of small. If you are over 200 this might not be for you.

[@OffGridBasement]

It definitely is a "one size fits most". I'm glad it works well for you!

[@dollylaning1613]

That vest really cooled you down, judging from the thermal camera. I'm assuming it's not something you wear continually but put on for a while, then take off? Will it cool down fast if it's left outside or in a vehicle? Definitely a plus for those working outdoors.

[@OffGridBasement]

It does cool down quickly. I think it would be perfect for if you're really hot and need to cool down fast. I'm guessing the ice will melt in about an hour. Thanks for the comment.

[@justintucker5203]

You put a link flr the thermal camera but i dont see one for the bigger usb batter pack

[@OffGridBasement]

You can use any small portable phone charging battery bank found on Amazon. It just needs a USB-A port. This is the standard USB port.

[@cyosh345]

Wonder how long it will run on that charger and if it will stay cool the whole time. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾

[@OffGridBasement]

I really believe it's for a quick cool off. The vest probably only stays cool for about an hour. Thanks for the comment.

[@48wilber]

I get about 1 hour from each ice pack I keep a bunch ready, (I made several extra with a "seal-a-meal) and my power pack lasts about 6-7 hours

[@dollylaning1613]

I love that the manual is in Mandarin. 😅

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

That’s great! My daughter, who would be wearing this as a gift, speaks and reads Mandarin. 😃

[@zhongxina2793]

Well damn was looking forward to picking this up for only 80 bucks but the shipping from china is 514 dollars for the slowest option. Tractor supply has a similar item for only 400 bucks and its english with a battery pack

[@OffGridBasement]

Shipping is $514!? I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

[@prilep5]

Someone should invent solar powered sombreros

[@OffGridBasement]

Or a solar powered umbrella!

[@docwilson5384]

WOW, This is AMAZING...Peace

[@ceesparxxx]

This is really cool. The only problem with your construction worker example .....is that most construction workers I know don't work around a freezer 😂. And even if they did, they would probably have to swap the ice pack every 20 mins when it's really hot outside lol. This is really cool, and useful in certain situations (such as mowing your lawn in extreme heat). But for construction workers, they might be better off with a cooling towel and a portable waist fan over something like this lol. Like I said though, there are definitely situations where this would come in handy. Like at a kids baseball game when it's really hot, or at a short festival/fair, or when outside mowing the lawn, etc. But for people working outside 8 hrs a day and not anywhere near a freezer all day, should probably find something different lol.

[@OffGridBasement]

You're right. Construction worker was probably the worst example! Being outside for an hour at a time would make a lot more sense in this situation. :-) Thanks for the comment!

[@48wilber]

17 oz. water in vest,, and ice bags only to line,, if overfilled you have to use a straw to empty some out

[@OffGridBasement]

Thanks for the info and the comment.

[@jasonkwc]

Can we know what size is that jacket that you ordered

[@OffGridBasement]

I believe it is a "one size fits most" deal. It has straps the tighten the jacket to the body.

[@jasonkwc]

@@OffGridBasement thanks for the information. do you think the white powder is Sodium polyacrylate? can it be reused?

[@killercanary95GT]

Do you have a direct link? The one provided just shows a lot of cabin filters for cars and since there is no option to select English I have no idea how to search or navigate it to find it.

[@OffGridBasement]

Here ya go! www.hepaking.com/index.php/en/accessories/toyota/ice-water-circulating-cooling-vest Hope that helps.

[@alisoltani2923]

How many hours does this thing work during the day with full charge?

[@OffGridBasement]

I use it while I mow in the summer and it lasts around 2 hours no problem. I would say the ice pack lasts 4 hours and the battery 8 hours.

[@Wallalla7552]

Lol hepa

[@JohnWick-xz9tc]

it should be a lighter color

[@OffGridBasement]

That's a good point. Thanks for the comment.

[@besi1974]

vegas 120 heat would last 10 min and u have to throw it away.... unless u pulling a freezer behind u.

[@OffGridBasement]

Haha! Thanks for the comment and the info.

[@HowdyDo2]

A 9 minute video of you stammering around. Make it a 3 minute video next time.

[@OffGridBasement]

I was just in shock at how well it worked. Thanks for the comment.
