Might be worth a try and the price isn't too bad BUT.......
Notice that all the good testimonials come from the desert south west.....where they can use evaporative air conditioners because of the low humidity. I strongly suspect that it would not be nearly as effective, and maybe even counter productive, in places where the 100 degree temps are accompanied by 90% humidity......like the southern mid-west and south east.

The water in the vest needs to evaporate to provide any cooling effect.
Well you soak it in cool water to activate the material inside. It isn't actually evaporating that much, it is dry to the touch and is cool. It might still work, but I didn't think about that.
