Motorcycle Cooling Vests

You cannot ride your motorcycle without protective riding gear even in the middle of summer when it is 100 degrees outside and the sun is scorching hot. A lightweight ventilated helmet and a mesh riding jacket provide some relief at high speeds, but what about the times you are forced to slow down on city streets or even stand in traffic jams? It is hard to imagine that in order to feel cooler, you have to wear another layer of clothes under your mesh jacket, but it is true. Our online store can offer you a wide range of high-quality motorcycle cooling vests.

Naturally, the human body cools itself through the evaporation of sweat. When moisture turns into vapor, it takes away a lot of excess body heat. The same principle is used in modern motorcycle cooling vests designed to lessen the rider’s discomfort from overheating and sweating while also reducing the risk of a heat stroke. Usually, they consist of several layers – the inner layer of the specially-designed polymer and two outer layers of water-repellent fabrics. You can soak such a vest in cool water for several minutes, wipe it with a towel, and put it on under your summer jacket. The outer layers of the vest are designed to keep your skin and other clothes dry.

When the water stored in the polymer lining starts to evaporate, it creates a powerful cooling effect, especially when moving fast with enough air flowing through vents or mesh portions of the jacket. Such a vest can make you feel up to 20 degrees cooler for up to 8 hours or more. When it is possible, you can stop and soak your vest in the water again to restore its cooling properties. When such a vest is left submerged for about 3 minutes, it absorbs up to 3.5 pounds of water. Some manufacturers offer additional evaporative neck guards and wristbands to cool down the areas with intensive blood flow.

On the digital shelves of our online store, you can find a huge assortment of motorcycle cooling vests from such renowned brands as HyperKewl, Fly Racing, EVS Sports, and others. These highly functional vests can not only enhance the cooling effect of the airflow under your vented, mesh-type, or perforated leather jacket but also can become a stylish addition to your everyday wardrobe. We offer a line of vests for men and women which can be not only cooling but also cool-looking pieces of gear, no sweat! (No pun intended). You can wear such a vest without a jacket when doing some hard work or physical exercise.

A well-designed cooling vest features a proprietary polymer material that absorbs water and distributes it evenly around the rider’s body for better balance and even cooling. Some models feature mesh inserts for better breathability and longer back design to fit snugly inside the pants while the rider is in the normal lean-forward position. Stretch panels on the sides provide a perfect, moderately tight fit. A cooling vest can serve a dual purpose. When it is dry, it can help you stay warm in cold weather. No matter what type of motorcycle you ride and what style of summer jacket you wear, a cooling vest can effectively improve your comfort, reduce fatigue, and keep you focused on the road ahead.
