Surviving the Australian summer heat
Dear CoolTek:
When we first arrived in Sydney, it was in the middle of a heat wave. In fact, two days ago saw a record high 39 degrees C. (103 F)
Needless to say, I've had numerous opportunities to use the vest, the hat, and the neckband. What a difference they have made. On the hot but tolerable days I just use the hat and its cooling qualities do the trick.
On the really hot days I put on the vest with just a t-shirt over it. It lasts all day long and truly makes a difference. My wife complains about how hot and sweaty she is and I'm feeling pretty darn good.
The humidity here is extremely high. Yesterday, it was down to 70% humidity, but most days we have been here it has been in the high 80% or low 90%. A good test for your products.
I recommend these garments to anyone who has a desire to stay cool in the heat.
