I decided to start a new thread on this rather than diverting the thread where Groggy Doggy asked the question.
Where can I buy a cooling vest?
My best source of information on cooling vests is an MS site that gets samples from manufacturers and tests them on real patients--rating all the various qualities like weight, appearance, how long they stay cold. I'll give you links to their gear testing pages. They have negiotiated a medical discount for MS patients--who knows it might be available to us too!

Hi, @Sushi!

I just found these links. Thank you for them!

Any personal recommendations or experiences you'd be willing to share would also be appreciated.

Another day, I'll create a link between this thread and the one I just posted to.

@belize44 : thought you'd be interested in these links as well

Best regards,
Z
