My crazy boss at my old job bought a bunch of those things for when we did field work in the summer in New Orleans. I wasn't about to wear one in public, but I tried it out in the lab....it didn't cool you down, was uncomfortable, and weighed like a pound and half. It's a ripoff.

I'm not sure if it is the Sharper Image product, but you see some fat baseball umpires wear similar cooling products. Hey, if it can cool their fat ass for over 3 hours, it must work.

I can't believe anyone would fall for buying that... then again.

I have tried out one of those sharper image toys. It does make you feel cooler, but I don't know how good it would be outside in the heat. They have them in the stores. You should try one out.

Hahahaha.
Laugh it up, but those things work great, actually. However, like the personal cooling system, I wouldn't wear one in public.
