Hi Guys and Gals,
I purchased a “cold vest” from Quantum chill as I really struggle riding in the warmer months.First ride last weekend, quite hot and humid on the south coast NSW.
I rode the same tracks as last time, about the same temp, maybe a fraction hotter.
The vest seemed to work ok, not like riding in an air conditioned room but a definite improvement.
I kept topping it up by taking it off and pouring cold water on it every time we stopped, 3 times in 8 hours, and I could notice the difference when I put it back on straight away.I still got hot on some nasty singles when I was struggling (short legs, no talent) but it was definitely better than last time and I cooled off alot quicker once I got going again.
I normally wear “skins” under my gear but half way through the day took my skin top off and had the vest just on my bare skin.
It didn’t feel as nice but it seemed slightly more effective. On real hot days I will wear it this way, on not as hot days I will wear my skin top underneath.I would recommend one for anyone who suffers in the heat like I do, it only cost $80 and I cant see it wearing out in a hurry.
