This may be just the thing to beat the Texas heat and enjoy riding year round. I'd like to try one before dropping $300-400+ on it, but I might just have to pick one up someday. There are several different models to choose from.

that or poke a hole in a bottle of water and stuff it under your jacket.

Try a techniche cooling vest first. They are only $30 and they work fine. I use one over a cotton shirt and under a vanson perforated light jacket. You need to re wet them about every 3 hours or so.

I guess I'm old school. I just doused myself with water and let the evaporation work. But the limits were humidity and time.

We use something similar to that in our Bradley Fighting Vehicles when deployed. They work great. Even when you're air temp is sitting around 140-150ish in the turret.

Does it come with a luggage rack to hold the giant pump/cooler?

I have one for my K9.

I've also seen guys with a neck gaiter or a pushed down balaclava that has been soaked in water. Works pretty well from what I've heard.

There's a model that has a smaller cooler you wear like a backpack. It's all wearable. The one above has a larger cooling capacity and would be mounted in a tailbag, or on the passenger seat, etc.

But sweatmachine... if you were to get yourself one you'd need to change your handle. Maybe 'coolmachine'?

Can you also put some beverages in that large cooler?

I like this one better.
Not really a cooling vest, but a hydration system!

I don't think sweat would look that great in that get up. I could be wrong, though????
