Whilst at Nordicfuzzcon I picked up my Ezcooldown vest, I have to say from the word go I was impressed. I don't tend to suffer from overheating when suiting, but the vest made suiting even more comfortable for such a long period of time. I'd opted for the PCM inserts as I wanted the longevity of the cooling effect and I wasn't disappointed. It stayed at a good temperature for nearly four hours so it was better than I was hoping for time wise.

To chance the cooling packs was listed down as a matter of a few minutes, by the end of the con it was more like seconds. So it was entirely possible to wear, change and get back in suit again in no time at all. I also found that there wasn't any restriction on my movements at all which I was thinking might have been an issue, but nope was I wrong about that. I forgot I was wearing it so quickly it seemed natural, mostly I knew it was working really well when people were saying to me in suit that I was quite cold and nice to hug!

I also was rather enjoying the vest so much I ended up wearing it out of suit, just wandering around going 'Cooool..... so soooooo cooooooooool'. I'm sure my mutterings must have drawn a few strange looks. Also of a side note the logo glows REALLY well under UV lights.

When I get around to CF I will probably pick up another set of gel inserts so that I can carry on and on using it.

The neck cooling collar is something that I had too, whilst I didn't wear it as much, when I did it was so pleasant, no cold burn like I've had with icepacks and other cooling products before. This was a pleasant temperature to have in contact. They all take up hardly any space at all and I think I would say to people if you want one of these get one, you won't regret it.
