Fighting The Heat!!!

[PCTREE]

Ive had a couple of packs develop leaks, Man that stuff gives you a nasty rash...

I worried about that happening when I was leaning against something while climbing. They're not bomb-proof, for sure. IIRC, they sell inserts to protect against a puncture.

generally we will stop if the temp is over 45 c or 113 f as the saw will start to play up and the auto cut off on the chipper due to temp can bring the job to a grinding halt.
have worked in 50 c plus 122 f but between the extra strain on staff and the equipment it doesn't make good sense so a half day up to the mid day heat can be an answer.
those days I don't look forward to removing the top if that means a long afternoon blocking down with a big saw.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's the end of the world as we know it.

Glaciertek is so awesome! The fluid in two of the cooling packs leaked out and guess what? I just got off the phone with them and they are sending me two replacement packs, no charge! I certainly wasn't expecting that! It's been well over a year since I purchased them, but they didn't care. Sweet!

Glaciertek RAWKS!!!

Mine started leaking last year, and they replaced them also. It will be interesting to see how you like them. I felt the new ones didn't cool as well, plus they put a seam across the middle, which sorta gives less cooling surface area. Yes, agree, a great company. Wear mine every day when it's hot.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Mine look like this...

 

[bstewert]

Yep, mine, too. The old style didn't have the horizontal seems More cooling!

Fantastic product. Cools the body enough to just keep powering through.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I use it everyday.

I opted for this. $170, includes the cooling pouches. Plus tax and shipping.

For $200+ There is a Hi Viz yellow http://store.coolvest.com/original-rpcm-high-visibility-cooling-vest/

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't forget - you'll need a second set of cooling pouches.

 

[bstewert]

Yep, second set. . . and a cooler to put your big ice cube and second set in.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I used a Tupperware dish to freeze big blocks of ice.

 

[sotc]

Mine showed up today. Man they are heavy. I got the safety yellow Sean, but I googled a coupon code and got a discount

 

[MasterBlaster]

The weight hasn't bothered me one bit.

Just be strong, like bull!
