SKU: RW211060 Highway 21 Cooling Vest

Highway 21 Cooling Vest
# 489-1060

The Highway 21 Cooling Vest keeps riders comfortable in hot‑weather conditions using long‑lasting evaporative cooling technology. Built from lightweight, breathable materials, it absorbs and retains water to create a cooling effect that helps regulate body temperature during rides, outdoor work, or summer activities. 

How It Works:

• "Swamp Cooler" Effect utilizes polymer-embedded fabric.
• Activation: Submerge the vest in water for 2 to 10 minutes. The internal polymer crystals swell up and absorb the moisture.
• The Mechanism: Wring out the excess water and zip it up over a base shirt, ideally wearing a mesh or well-vented riding jacket over it. As you ride, airflow passing through your jacket evaporates the trapped water, dropping the temperature of the air pocket around your torso.

Features:

• Instant & Noticeable Relief: Riders reporting temperatures over 90°F to 100°F state that the drop in skin temperature is immediate, dramatically reducing fatigue and heat exhaustion on long road trips.
• Fast Activation: It reaches full saturation within just 2 minutes of soaking and remains hydrated for up to 10 hours.
• Long-Lasting in Arid Climates: In dry regions (like the American Southwest), a single soak provides 2 to 4 hours of continuous cooling before requiring a re-wet.
• No Bulky Collar: Unlike standard vests which feature a stand-up neck collar, the Highway 21 version is designed with a low, collarless neckline. This prevents bunching and discomfort under tight jacket collars.
• Low Maintenance: Machine washable, a massive plus for sweat-soaked gear.
