While on a trip to Vegas this summer, I stopped for a rest in Baker.
While in the rest room, I watched two motorcyclists come in, fill the small sink with water, soak their vests, and then exit dripping water all the way.
Those must be the "cooling vests" I've seen and read about.
Yesterday, I wanted to ride in the heat (95+ deg. F), so I took an old cotton t-shirt (black thick with a rock band logo on the front) and soaked it in water.
I put it on wet and then put a mesh jacket on, then the bright yellow safety mesh vest.
Wow! What a difference! It cost almost nothing, and it lasted about 45 min!
I will not cross the desert to Vegas WITHOUT that next time.
It's low tech, cheap, and dependable.... highly recommended.
