Personal Cooling System

Hmm i just saw this at shaper image, i was wondering if anyone have this toy, and how is it ?
i really don't get how it will make you cool by just putting this thing on ... anyone ?

I notice they don't show pics of anyone wearing that goofy looking thing...

just tie some old cpu heatsinks to your neck. if your really into it, power the fans with some batteres.

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 think these only work well in very low humidity environments.

Wear one and I'll have no choice but to beat you, if only for humanities sake.

I saw this product advertised on one of those shopping channels. It's so lame, I was ROTFL the whole time.

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.

Those bandanas work, but they aren't worth 9 bucks.

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