Delivering constant and adjustable cooling and heating through its perforated, inner lining, the Vortex Vest is especially popular for workers in confined spaces as well as foundries, steel mills, asbestos abatement and paint baking operations. The vest can be worn under protective clothing while still offering full range of motion.

Work Great!
Purchased a couple of these for our painters to wear. They love them. It's amazing how cool they get and temperature can be adjusted. I figured the air in the vest would just be what ever temperature the compressed air is, but it actually pulls hot air out and blows the cooler air. The material the're made of is thin and light, which is good, but was worried about how well they would hold up. No problems so far..

NOT as shown in the image.
Please note this DOES NOT HAVE THE COOLER.I reached out to Amazon to clear up the issue, thinking it was a mistake. They promptly replaced it with the exact same unit. The image does NOT show what will arrive.I've used these in the past with excellent results and recommend them to fellow safety professionals. This particular model should be marketed as a replacement for a worn out vest. You'd simply transfer the cooling unit to the new vest.

Works as advertised, love it!
Although they don't offer a color option (mine showed up black), it works very well! I work as an auto mechanic in 100+ degree temperatures above hot motors. This thing is a life saver! It was 95 degrees out and I had to turn it off because I got cold! The idea is brilliant, and it works just as advertised. You need an industrial air compressor to keep up with how much air this uses. The hot air end shoots out a pretty warm stream of air at a high rate, and it can be difficult to point the hot air end away from your waist. It's also pretty loud. It's very ugly, but who cares... I stay cool. I would recommend this for anyone that works in very hot conditions that has access to industrial amounts compressed air.

Best money ever spent
I've welded in 100F in full PPE with the vest under my jacket and no sweat.

DOES NOT HAVE THE COOLER!!
The description does not say that it only comes with the vest and not the cooler despite the fact the photo they use clearly shows a cooler attached to the vest.

Terrible!
they left out in the description that it only comes with the vest and not the cooler/heater as pictured, do not buy until they can clearify exactly what’s included in this sale and not leave out the most important part.

Cool summer workdays
I'm a welder/ fabricator. I work in a metal building which becomes an oven in the summer. This vest has become a lifeline for me. Quality materials, good fit and keeps your core temperature cool. The air even blows under my hood when welding. Highly recommend this product.

It works and makes you cooler
Makes you feel cooler with a adequate air flow. Only negative is the hose is to stiff and not real flexible. Other then that I can work all day even near 100.deg. F.I would recommend to anyone that dislikes the heat but has to work in it
