Cooling vest for NW Africa?
 
Is a cooling vest a good thing, do you think it works well?
Do you wear the back plate between the vest and body, or on the outerside?
I'm thinking of HyperKewl Ultra Sport as a friend recommended it, would it be good, you think?
I may be able to buy it for around 60 euros.

Well, I ordered one, including a beanie, so if anyone wonders I could try to give my opinion after my trip!

Yes, let us all know how they work. You could do a thread in the Equipment review section :thumbup1:
I am living in Thailand at the moment, although I don't have a bike over here yet but I will have eventually and the vest might be a good investment (no pun intended)

Another Swedish rider told me about those specific ones, and said those are really good in temperatures about 40 degrees!

Macna ( purchased through Twisted Throttle) worked well for us in 40 + Degrees last summer around Grand Canyon and Lake Havasu area. Just stick with the recommended water fill amount( 1/2 ) a litre I believe. They work based on evaporating and pulling the heat out of your core. They work.
