Velotoze Cooling Vest with Cooling packs Review

What Velotoze say about Cooling Vest with Cooling Packs:

Specially Placed Ice Pack Pockets: This vest features four strategically placed pockets with 4 specially crafted Cooling Packs placed close to your body. These Cooling Packs are engineered to last 45-60 minutes each, ensuring sustained cooling throughout your indoor session without interfering with your cycling motion.

Breathable and Wicking Fabric: Crafted from a highly breathable and moisture-wicking fabric, this vest ensures that sweat is efficiently pulled away from your body, leaving you feeling fresh and dry.

Snug Fit: The Cooling Vest zips on to provide a comfortable, snug fit. It feels like a second skin.

Maximum Ventilation: The full front zipper offers added versatility. You can fully unzip it while riding to enjoy maximum ventilation.

No matter where your cycling journey takes you, indoors or outdoors, the Cooling Vest is engineered to keep you cooler longer and more comfortable when the temperatures soar.

Quick Summary:
A cooling vest designed to keep you cool during indoor or outdoor cycling or running in the heat. A lightweight vest into which four frozen ice packs are inserted in back and side pockets. 

What we liked:
- The vest is lightweight and comfortable to wear

- When running  there is a cooling effect that lasts for upto 40  mins


What to consider:
- If you are looking for something to make running outdoors in 35-40 degrees heat a bit more tolerable then this will help with that. 
- I dont think it is needed to help with indoor turbo rides as most people live in air conditioned homes. If doing a hard turbo session indoors then turn up the AC or get a fan. 

- I haven’t used it for a cycle ride but the same would apply as for the run. The ice packs last for about 35-40 minutes

Who it’s for:
- Triathletes or runners looking for help with heat management
- Indoor cyclists.

When to use it:
Predominantly for training. It serves a useful purpose for runs off the bike. After a hard bike and you need to do a 20-30 minute run at 08:00am then the vest comes in handy. Helps you “feel cool”, which is the main benefit and just makes that run feel more manageable. It is hard to justify the claims that it keeps core temperature down or that heart rates are reduced compared to not wearing the vest as there are just too many variables. The bottom line is it helps make you feel cooler so those brick runs get done.

Final thoughts:

A nice to have. 

Overall opinion:

This would not be useful for a triathlon race as the ice packs would melt by the time you started your run. It can help with training, and as stated above will help get those runs off the bike done in the heat.
