Glad I could help! This set up so far has worked flawlessly. I appreciate the views and the interaction. If you have any questions feel free to ask! I’ll help however I can. 🤘🏻
Works great! Works even better if you can keep it pressed up against you. The wind on the bike might make that challenging. But the shirts are fairly stiff with the tubing.
Hi thanks for sharing. If you are still checking replies here, how well does that work? I mean, is it less brutally hot, or so so, given the circumstances, or is it truly comfortable? I ride 30 some miles to work each way on a motorcycle in the Florida heat, in full gear, so I made up a kind of front/back vest with Revix freezer packs. It works so well it feels like air conditioning for the whole 40 minute ride.I even chose a winter riding jacket with the liner removed, so as to keep the cold in. But on those peak heat days where its 93f and up to 100 it fades to barely tolerable by the time I get there. Currently working on V2 with Nordic Ice freezer packs. I want total comfort! I see what youve done there but I doubt there is enough surface area on the piping to provide enough heat transfer to be totally comfortable. Am I wrong? I hope so.
Great diy! One question as I do not have the parts in hand… yet…. Does the coolshirt fitting work directly with the camelbak hydrolink? Is there an intermediary?
Thanks for watching! The cool shirt does not work with the hydro link. I just used them to interface with the car. You’ll need cool shirts fittings to attach it to your system. They are also break aways in case you need to get out of the car in a hurry.
what size is the tubes in the shirts? I have an ex-military cooling garb ... but no cooler, pump etc... its garment's hose is about 1/4" in size. Apparently the pump that originally went with it at lowest setting was 0.1gal/min (350ml/min) at 5psi*. Im concerned a bilge pump like used in this vid. would be to high PSI and blow the thing apart. Appears your pump is like others have used such as the Tsunami T500. What is your thoughts? *in the manual on the garb it list 10psi of air was max to use to force drain the tubes for storage of garb. So apparently it can go up to 10psi.
Bilge pumps are typically rated in feet of head - e.g. how high they will lift the water. Every two feet is about one PSI; most bilge pumps are designed to move a lot of water overboard, which doesn't require a lot of lift on most boats. Typical lift is 10-12 feet, so you're looking at 5-6 psi.
im working on building a backpack version of this for when Im mowing or whatever outside in the summer. Great video!

Links or Amazon page would be cool and easy for people
Full STOP. 5 seconds in. Love the shirt! ~P
Thanks! 6dollarshirts.com !!
I'd love it get something like this installed on my motorcycle, this Texas heat is brutal!

Great production, thanks.
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment and support.

would have been nice to have a parts list, other than that, good job
Want me to build it for you too?
Thanks.

What material is this hose pipe on tshirt . Is it copper pipe?
I’m not sure exactly what the material is but it’s a black rubber of some sort. When you are in the car you don’t even notice it.
