I have MS, and I cannot tolerate the heat. I live in Arizona, so this presents a big problem. Over the last several summers, I've even suffered from depression when the months go by and I can't leave the house for any significant period. This vest has given me some of my life back. I have tried evaporative vests and bandanas in the past, but they seem to lose their efficacy after about 20 minutes. This vest stays cold for 1-2 hours depending on how warm it is outside. I purchased this in April and waited until August to write the review to be sure that it really is as great as I thought. When I have this vest on, I can run errands, go shopping, eat out in restaurants that are insufficiently air conditioned and basically feel awesome as long as the ice packs are cold. Overall, I'd purchase this again and am so grateful to have it. It's improved my quality of life tremendously. I have spent over twice this amount for a vest that didn't stay cold beyond 20 minutes, so I find this to be a great value too. I'm back now to purchase the replacement ice packs for the vest so that when one set melts I can have access to a fresh set. I recommend this vest without hesitation. – Skybrim
Needed a cooling vest for my mother per her doctors orders. Her insurance did not cover and this was very inexpensive considering the value she is getting out of it. Her doctor is pleased as well and has recommended it to other patients. – J. McGilvra
My father has MS and has an issue with warm weather. Living in Phoenix, AZ, heat is NOT your friend. It was to the point to where he wasn't really able to be outside at all. This vest has changed all that. It doesn't stay frozen for a long period of time (what does in 118 degree weather) but it lasts long enough for him to be able to travel to and from places without getting so fatigued. We love it!!! Very worth the cost.......which really wasn't bad! – Ghettochild
My husband has MS and this vest is great to bring his core body temp down quickly. The ice packs just velcro on and couldn't be easier to assemble. The vest is adjustable up to an XL. We had looked at other cooling vest, but they were very expensive. The price of this vest is very reasonable. – Bubbagal
This works totally as expected. I have MS and had to have something that cooled me down. This product works as expected. It allows me to stay out in the heat for an extended period of time. – Amazon C.
I have Multiple Sclerosis and heat makes the symptoms worse. The best has worked great for me. I also ordered replacement packs – Janree
We bought this for our son, who has multiple sclerosis, for the summers when he was working outdoors. The heat really brought on his MS symptoms and this vest did the job. – S. Bothel
I do mascot booking and my team is required to be in mascots for 30minutes to 2 hours at a time and these work great.. keeps your body temperature down and works great even in the heat!!! I have 5 to date and will be getting more as the business grows!!! – J. Cosme
I have MS and heat really makes my body go haywire. One of the things I missed the most was going out window shopping and antiquing with my wife. With the Flexi Freeze Ice Vest it makes it all possible again. Thank You! – B. Patnoi
