I saw in another thread someone talking about a cooling vest so I did get one of those already, it worked great here last weekend with the heat in the high 90s and even with 70% humidity it still worked awesome. Living on the "wetside" of Washington now, I always keep full raingear in my...

I wear a Cortech mesh jacket, but I do have one of those cooling vests that you submerge in water. The thing literally soaks up and holds easily a half-gallon of water. It keeps my body cool for a few hours at a time. Also, I mountain bike a lot so I already have the 100oz Camelback and an...
