Cooling Vests

What is the best cooling system brand to have for my costume? 

Furveious

As you may know, there is a wide variety of them and they can range from $30 to $300. I have found that it is really not worth buying the more expensive products with motorized pumps etc. because, in the end, the cooling effect dissipates as the coolant in the vest warms up. Whether you buy a cheap or an expensive vest, this usually lasts about 2 hours, max. Try and find something lightweight that is easy to put on and take off for a moderate price, such as the FlexiFreeze Ice Vest, which is around $90.

Be careful when you shop about the design. For example, the TechNiche International Adult HyperKewl vest advertises that it can keep you cool for 5-10 hours. However, it is designed to be worn on the outside because it needs air flow to work. If you are wearing it underneath a fursuit, therefore, it doesn't work!

​What I do with my cooling vest is I have two sets of ice inserts; I put on one and keep the other set in a cooler. Then, when the first pair melt, I switch them out and am good for another 2 hours.

Happy Fursuiting!

I definitely agree to Papa Bear. FlexiFreeze Ice Vest is very effective as a cooling system for a costume. I am fursuiting for almost two years now and my friend is the one who suggested to use FlexiFreeze Ice Vest and I am impressed. Aside from being affordable and worth the price, it is also comfortable to wear underneath. Just like Papa Bear, I also put two sets of ice cube in the cooling vest and it lasts for about two to three hours.
