CoolTek vest makes Beverly Nichols one cool race driver.
Dear CoolTek:
I just wanted to write to let you know how wonderful the nylon pullover vest and ball cap have worked under the intense heat of road racing. In this past year I have experienced fatigue and nausea due to the extreme heat of both driving in these hot summer months and sitting in the pit area during grid or yellow flag, in full Nomex under layers and driving suit.
While I have tried any number of remedies to keep cool while in the car or to cool off before and after driving, the results were only temporary and some were rather shocking to the system! Ice water poured over your head, wet Nomex and wet hair, ice packets in the driving suit, ice packets on the neck and wrists - none of the measures I tried were effective and most were very uncomfortable!
The CoolTek vest is a treasure...It is not shocking to my body and, more important, it keeps my body temperature constant. THAT is what has kept me cool and fit to drive weekend after weekend on even the hottest July and August day. I put the ball cap on when I am not driving to keep my body temperature down and then use the vest under my driving suit to keep me cool and collected when in the car.
The CoolTek vest and ball cap are a 'must' for anyone who is working outside or participating in active sports. My CoolTek vest is invaluable to me - it is now as critical to me as my Nomex under layer, shoes and gloves. For anyone who is concerned about keeping their body temperature at a constant despite strenuous or stressful activity, the CoolTek vest should be a requirement!
