The performance version, which is advertised to last 1.5-2 hours, is listed at $129.90. The endurance version, advertised at last 3 hours is listed at $149.90. Each version comes with two pads. I'm not sure about the rest of you out there, but at this price point, I'll keep using cold towels and ice chips. Who knows, for $50 bucks, I might even be able to get that blonde in the third row to come down and fan me during the half inning ;-0George Kirklandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592030347936762489.post-22168970977137206912011-03-18T09:00:55.437-07:002011-03-18T09:00:55.437-07:00Any word on when the chest protector version will ...Any word on when the chest protector version will be available. I wear an HSM behind the plate so the cap version is not really a help...I guess I will have to install zippers in my shirts to be like the pros now :-)Stephen O'Nealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592030347936762489.post-46442615913756337842011-03-12T09:16:11.568-08:002011-03-12T09:16:11.568-08:00Ian,
I don't have any info re: Cool Under Fire...Ian,<br />I don't have any info re: Cool Under Fire, it is not an HTFx, Inc. company. I can tell you that I have seen complaints regarding other "cap cooler" products (http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Cap-Cooler-Insert-size/dp/B0035A4QGG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1299948851&sr=8-1).<br /><br />The complaint is that the cooling pad does not maintain its cooling properties. A testimonial from Dr. Bradley Thomas (Chief of Sports Medicine, Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery-- Harbor/UCLA Medical Center and Associate Professor, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine) states that he uses RiteTemp products on his patients because they are "self-regulating to the optimal temperature, providing therapeutic cooling in<br />the mid 50 degree Fahrenheit range without over-cooling." http://coolsightglobal.com/documents/ProductsInfosheetDrThomas.pdf<br /><br />Also note the endorsements from MLB Umpires Gary Cederstrom and Ed Rapuano.<br /><br />Are other products effective? Maybe. This one seems to work. I will write an update on these products in July or August when the weather gets HOT.Pete Reiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02875000584094721627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592030347936762489.post-35526039643014296062011-03-12T07:17:23.463-08:002011-03-12T07:17:23.463-08:00Potentially the same product here for less? http:...Potentially the same product here for less? http://www.coolunderfire.com/shop-online.phpIan Spatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356571782134252365noreply@blogger.com
