Testing 3 Cooling Items: Ice Vest, Neck Fan, & Cooling Spray
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Today I'm testing out three cooling products in three different price ranges: a $15 cooling spray, a $60 neck fan, and a $105 ice vest. I also wanted to mention that the neck fan lasted over 4 hours on one charge, and takes a couple of hours to charge.
Also (because I know such comments will happen) I don't force Bailey to be outside with me in the heat. I always leave one of my back doors open while filming and she comes and goes as she pleases. She just likes to hang around me when I'm outside. :)

109⁰ is the most powerful anti-vegas ad possible for me.
Conversely, the dope Frisbee in the park scene was very pro-Vegas ad 😂👍
minorking1121 hahaha it was 113º here in Vegas on Sunday, i was out shopping and then just quit, just went home and said no
That's nothing. Try Arizona at 115 lol
Mario mario tried to wash my sister car, in the shade, in 115 Vegas weather, the car ended up with water stops🤦🏻♂️💀
@@DangerWifeDodd 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! You guys are making me feel like a baby for complaining about my 91 degrees today!
You use those evaporative cooling products in somewhere like Florida, and you'd tear it off in 10-15 minutes because it would never evaporate, and it would just become hot and soggy. They're terrible in very humid environments. In 70-80% humidity, you walk outside and you're instantly sweating because of all the water in the air.
Same around here. I went outside the other day and the humidity was 100%...which I thought meant it had to be raining, but apparently not... X.x I wonder if you went with something that was more just the menthol and less the evaporation idea?
I think Florida may be more brutal than the desert. Sweating does nothing but make you disgusting here, no evaporative cooling at all.
The ice vest might be alright. I could throw it on around 1 or so when the sun becomes unbearable, go back and swap it out 2 or 3 times before leaving work.... MIGHT help. lol
I live in FL and tell people who come to visit, “Welcome to Florida, where the heat and humidity slap you in the face like MeeMaw pinching your cheeks!”
The only thing that will keep you cooler in FL, is an air conditioner! I have been in central FL for over 20 years.
Whenever I have to wear a suit I put a reusable ice pack in each inner chest pocket. They are unnoticeable from the outside and I get about 2-3 hours of very effective cooling and an additional hour of mediocre cooling before they are warm. Perfect for summer weddings.
That’s such a solid hack !
No condensation at all?
@@Projectioncloud Maybe wrap each in a washcloth sized towel?
@@Projectioncloud it's possible it outgasses before even spotting.
Genius. I tend to tuck a frozen water bottle in my bra myself. Doesn't even show under my top. But since it's hot as hell waiting for the bus I don't really care much.
4:39 You look like a custom character from GTA 5.
I'll take it.
Captain Sparks ok, life useless now
Yeah
😂
He looks like green velvet minus the green Mohawk 😂😂
An ice vest lasting over an hour in 100+ desert heat seems pretty impressive to me, honestly.
They should make it out of a white material, then it would last even longer.
bryce jarrells that’s racist
@@miguelnorris837 so other colors can't recieve as much energy? That seems like racism for me. #Greenlivesmatter
bryce jarrells would also make it look less like a bulletproof vest
@@brycejarrells16 hey man thats racist 😒 😅
That spray is the definition of what a scam is.
when i saw the name cooling spray i though it was the asian kind,the one that just spray you with very cool air,kinda of a turn off when i found out it was the water spray in the video
Right, Its literally just diluted menthol extract
proves....stupid people will buy anything.
@@yerher6759 this guy isn't stupid for buying it tho it's literally his job
@@nicholasmaslonka4011 you sound like you bought it
i’ve had depression for a while. and lately things have been really tough for me. but this guy always cheers me up.
I hope you feel better soon ❤️
same here, friend. he does cheer me up too.
i hope things get better for you.
Hope you're doing good dude. Depression sucks but it gets better over time.
I agree
Something about this guy seems so legit and a very good family man.
You raised a really good son. He's very respectful and you seem to have a good relationship.
Non-paid review. Purchased to use on a daily basis while working in the summer ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLaBdDhW8qNMDGbjLY54iyU3q9BJydYRP blowing into safety glasses so they don't fog up. Comfortable wearing around the neck. Not heavy at all nor does it slide around much. Easy to turn on and off. It's a solid construction with a slight flex in the middle. Doesn't feel cheap although the body is made of plastic. The battery currently runs over 8 hours on the low fan setting and takes USB C plugs to charge. Noise level is fairly mild and wind strength is good even in low setting. Only down side is if you wear contacts, it'll dry out your eyes since it's blowing up into your face. I flipped the vents down but this doesn't help de-fog safety goggles when I'm sweating. Definitely worth it over other fan types.
"I'm not sure if this jacket matches my shorts."
Nothing matches those dad shorts.
Also, your son is a ridiculously good sport!
His son is a great sport indeed! Cool review guys.
The neck fans you normally find them in make up departments as they stop they person sweating when doing makeup in live studios. Make life easier for them and keeps you cooler before you hit the live screen. I enjoy mine but I have one of those high velocity air movers. Cant seem to find them online any more but I got it in london, uk
I like the original neck fan because it’s so versatile. The thin bendy arms are good because if you’re sitting at a table you can set it up as two small fans pointing any direction you want. Also the charge lasts a surprisingly long time.
The metal on back connects to a Peltier device, which uses electricity to create a cold side and a hot side, the plate on your neck is the cold side. Really cool stuff to learn more about.
Peltier cooling/heating is amazing for sure. We use single stage peltiers where I work. With proper heat sinking I believe we get about 150°F difference between the hot and cold side.
Yeah but they're extremely inefficient... Try cooling anything really hot with them and you'll be sucking up a lot of electricity 😂
That’s really cool, engineering is one of my favorite subjects to learn about. So many ingenious things humans have come up with!
Yup got a little mini fridge that uses this tech found out about when I went to see how a metal plate connected to a power source and a heatsink works. It works OK off of the car battery 6pack stays cold but seems very inefficient
They should make a vest out of that plate.
"It's sweaty. It's wet. It's unpleasant."
James White, July 2020
The Ice vest works wonders. I did insulation removal for a summer. I was in an attic for up to 8 hours a day with breaks every hour. One attic I did was at an average temp of roughly 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The first week was without the ice vest and the following week was with the ice vest. It made a world of difference. If you work in hot and confined environments. I would def recommend a cooling vest. So worth the money. Also you can just make your own for half the price.
Can you describe making your own? Regular ice packs? Stitched them in?
I like how you put your son through the ringer, it was hilarious.
3:43 The dog was like: "I don't know what you're doing, but I'd rather stare at this wall." - Haha JK! The ice vest looks "really cool!"
The dog was staring at the water spout hoping someone would turn it on for him
I like how he makes his son wear the things that didn't work for him so he has someone else wear it. Hahah that's priceless
I thought this was a Bell and Howell TacVest or something. James running around in As Seen On TV body armor!
Sport coat and plaid shorts is the official outfit of yelling at your girlfriend in public.
😂
This comment. 😂😂😂
Lol
I work in a non-air conditioned warehouse where it gets up to 100+ degrees in the summer, and I use the ice vest all the time. If you do any kind of outdoor work or other work that puts you in a hot area, I can't recommend it enough. Trust me, it's worth the high price. That's my personal recommendation as it has worked far better than any other thing I've tried.
Also you rock the jacket and with the shorts looks very early 90s ha ha. You do look like an agent with the vest on. 😎. Thanks for the reviews, I'm in SoCal desert edge so it's interesting to see reviews for things like this!
Maybe that look will come back!
@@Freakinreviews hey the 90s was/is my favourite thing, I wouldn't mind 😂. In the 90s, at my cousins wedding, I wore a the jacket with a t, and ditched the pants and shoes for cargo shorts and Converse. Some of my fam were not impressed.
@@Freakinreviews love your review episodes watch you every time you upload. I would love it if you would do a review of the zippkool jacket that has two fans. I think it would be better than the ice chest vest. I want to buy one but I would love for you to review it. I know that there's videos out there of the product but most of them are from the company itself I would rather see you review it so I can see it and you give me your review. I work for traffic control and this would definitely come in handy.
The things a son will do for his father lol. Hey I’m gonna layer all this stuff on you and we’re gonna pray no one looks at us LMAO
Oh you know, except the entire damn internet
That vest only amplifies how much you sometimes look like Jamie Hyneman when wearing that hat...
LockeTheCole Holy cow, I’ve never noticed this, but you’re right! Sort of looks like a younger, hip Jamie Hyneman!
Just an FYI, my wife has MS, and she has two cooling vests that she was given by one of the associations that are battling MS. They came with multiple gel ice packs, and in 95 degree plus heat it lasts about an hour before it gets to wet to wear comfortably. It is a godsend for people afflicted with that disease.
So the vest giving you an hour of reasonable comfort isn’t bad.
Dude come to the park and play frisbee with me.
"okay!"
::gets dressed up like a high tech amish::
rofl
Hahaha
9:50 And this is why you should NEVER leave your pet or child in the car!
Should leave your child alone period pets u can put the ac in or crack the window
He's professional 👏 👌
@@michaelmayers3622 no.
"Cracking the window" does nothing for the heat in the car. You will come back to a cooked pet.
@@lmaoroflcopter unless you live in areas where it doesn't get hot in the car during the fall, winter, or spring times of the year...
Dana S are you that MFC cam model Dana_S model that rips people off?
The things you say and do during these reviews crack me up. So fun to watch. I also love when Bailey is checking things out in the background.
Love you James I watch you with my children...we LOVE BAILEY!!
So I get that the ice vest keeps you cool, but where does it cook the eggs?
I think that's the "pro" version.
I love you, James, which is why I'm glad that you're NOT trying to kill us with Heat Stroke, here in Arkansas. It's crazy humid and with a Heat Index like we had today(feels anywhere between 105-115°F), there is no Evaporative Cooling. The water in the air sits on your skin like a wet blanket, so the Cooling Spray would be even more useless. Glad to see Brandon! Where's Noah & her awesomely colored hair? You & yours be sure to stay cool & CoVid free! Enjoying the White Family in Central Arkansas 😁
That Vegas weather has got to be tough on Bailey
That hat reminded me of PE; I live in Tucson and when I was a kid, in PE we'd do laps and then go to the water fountain and fill our hats with water and just dump it back on our head with water still inside XD I once jumped through the powerful sprinkler system on the lawn in high school and went to class completely saturated, I was just so done with the heat.
i'm so early, the ice hasnt even melted lol
That made me laugh, thanks.
@@gratefuldead4605 yo wlcm
But its a video
R/ woosh
narrulz_warewolf did you just woosh yourself..?
Drove from El Paso to San Antonio today. Took me 8 hours drive! But I was listening to your videos and that 8 hr drive felt like a 2 hour drive. Thanks Freakin' Reviews
I enjoy watching your interaction between your kids and yourself. Much respect to you!
"I just sat in something sticky at the park. That's the way it goes I guess" 🤣😂🤣
In a humid environment that ice chest would accumulate condensation like a glass of ice tea sitting next to some strawberry shortcake on a table in South Carolina someplace. You'd be cold, then just wet ...not good..
I think the best part is the father-son bonding time
Ice vest is what my husband needs since I won't let him put the AC to 50 like he wants 🥶
He’ll love it if he’s just wearing it in the house lol
you won't put on some regular clothes to get warmer, but make him wear an ice cubes vest at home instead xd
That metal plate is probably a Peltier device. It'll stay cool, but they are woefully inefficient. So the battery will get chewed up pretty quickly with that enabled
just started watching, gonna be real disappointed if the vest isn't made out of pure ice
Sorry man, I know your hopes melted away as fast as the ice did in his test.
The liquid inside the packs was water, so technically it was pure ice lol
Especially near the end, this was simply a fun little video. I really enjoyed this, fun with fam, not cheesy, still informative. Really nice video!
You making Brandon dress up like that made me laugh so much 😂
4:35 Even Bailey looks confused!
She be like "where you going?".
As someone with heat intolerance as hot as it may be for normal people its literally impossible for me.
Rubbing alcohol is more effective than water at evaporative cooling because water is insulating
I occasionally rub some hand sanitizer around my face, neck, and scalp for a short term cooling effect.
yep when I get hot after a jog, some rubbing alcohol and a fan is the way to go. While drinking and cold glass of water.
Alcohol also dries out your skin and evaporates faster, so that’s a big couple downsides for me
Your son is very gracious to help his Dad!
Thoroughly enjoyed your review of the cooling products. I love that Brandon participated in the review of the vest; you must be the “cool Dad” as he seems to have fun with you.😂
Suggestion: No Stitch (As Seen on TV) - Maybe any other sewing/repair gadgets you can find also?
Brandon is a good sport and has to be the most adorable overly dressed frisbee throwing young man in Las Vegas 😉👍🌞💝
Brandon is definitely a good sport for letting his dad dress him up that way!
Yes he is a cutie
9:34 reminded me of that part in the office where Kevin gets in the car to test how hot it gets in a locked car for the dog, says hes gonna beep the horn three times if he starts dying
this is intended as a compliment... I genuinely don't give a shit about any of these garbage products I'd never use... but I love your light-hearted personality and I enjoy just having your vids running in the background.
Yes another great day for a great review. Keep up the great work, stay safe
Actually listening to dance Gavin dance. That is the coolest thing I’ve seen here yet. Fantastic band.
Came to say this, leaving satisfied.
also so happy he listens to dance Gavin dance
Holy crap! I want the ice vest! But for a totally different reason. I have chronic hives & being out in the sun makes them start to itch. I get them all over my torso & I’m miserable. So as you can tell, my reason for getting one would be to stop my hives from itching in & out doors! So for others like me it’s worth the money! 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 Thanks for finding this & trying it out! I never even thought to see if there was such a thing. Happy tears🥲
Great video James! The bond you have with your children is just super! 😉⭐
I’m amazed, this man looked at 101 and said “hmm it’s a little warm”
The god of reviews 🙏🏽
It was so nice to see both of you guys having fun 🥰
What a good relationship you have with your son. if I called my sons and asked them to toss around a frisbee, they say something like “Nah, I’m just going to sit here and scratch my balls.” he looks amazingly like you, just younger and slightly taller. be proud dude, be proud.
I'd say that's pretty cool man
My own solution is staying up late at night so I can enjoy my room not being an oven
your videos allways brighten my mood! eventho i never really buy the products, you are a entertaining man. keep it going, love from holland
Always so excited when one of these goes up
Meanwhile im living in Arkansas where it's 105° with 75% humidity
Yeah central Arkansas pretty hot
Yes! It’s not humid unless your glasses steam up when you walk outside.
8:06 Yooooo Dance Gavin Dance my favorite band. Carl Barker one of their best songs. Good taste.
I love when you interact with the kids on ur videos
About 10 yrs I bought a cooling vest, it had crystal stuff in pockets that you soaked in water for about an hour. I would put in the freezer so it lasted longer , it was like an evaporative cooling system. Used it when fishing or on the tractor. Vest cost about $60au. Thanks for another great video 🇭🇲👍🦋😊
Your dog looks like she's about to pass out in the background when you were spraying your shirt.
James is so entertaining this 23 minute video flew by.
In my day we made ice filled vests out of life vests when we used to race NASCAR dirt track series . it worked great on hot summer days . We also took bath towels and rolled them up with ice in them to drape around our necks . Cool and driving our best when the car is 130 f inside .
I bought the last neck fan you reviewed like a year ago. It was awesome! Thanks James!
Double decker made me LOL...I want that ice vest even before I've seen the review...I have actually made my own rigged version of that.
As a side note it makes you appear like a SWAT officer haha.
Bailey in the background like: "this weather is hot as hell, im too old for this. can we go in for some a/c ?"
your son is so cute it makes my heart melt 🥺❤️
I cackled at you putting on both fans 'cause SAME. I'm in Georgia and I've been looking into gadgets to help make walking the dog bearable. I would rather walk in the rain than the miserable steamy humidity. Thanks for the video!
Your outfit screams business on the top, party down below!
Yo the ice vest has me so interested. I’m in Nevada, I hike atleast 10 miles each day playing disc golf. I wanna make my own!
He seems like such a good Dad❤️
I work from home and the room I'm in can get into the mid to high 90s in summer. I wet t-shirts and put them in the freezer and wear one to keep cool and replace it when it feels like it's time. But if you work outdoors, I can see the vest being very helpful.
fun fact: humans dont have nerves to feel wetness. we only trained ourselves to learn the temperature change and the texture of wet
Lucky Fucky you have me thinking about this shit for days
Isn't learning the texture of wet the same as feeling wetness
@@erickt1974 learning to feel texture of wet I mean the patterns, the feeling of it on clothes is heavier. put your hand in water and you can feel the difference in pressure and currents. feeling of water droplets is the pattern that it sits on your skin with the temperature change. ig we couldnt feel temperatures you could feel wet either
That would explain why I have a hard time telling if my jeans are wet or just cold in winter when I take them out of the dryer too late lol
10 mins in the shade not even in the sun
I love your reviews ❤. Thank you.
Thank you. This was helpful
The cooling stuff seems like a rip off of icy hot pain spray. That stuff makes the area really cold feeling
Police would love a bullet proof ice vest.
Wooohooo! For a long time didn't have a very effect AC in my house in the northish-east coast. It got pretty dang hot during summer.
I "invented" the "coolest" thing. I bought a bunch of long sleeve thin t-shirts. I soaked them in water and put them in the freezer. When it gets really hot, I get one out, pound it on the floor to loosen it up and put it on. WOOOOHOOOOO! With a good fan it's like personal AC. Works well outside for a short bit.
I did see this used on a TV commercial sort of. I forget the product but a guy comes in to his apartment during hot weather, pulls boxers out of the freezer and puts them on. The tag line was that's how it feels to drink their soda or use their mints... forget what the product was. I never tried boxers but the frozen tshirt works great.
The way Vegas is right now we need anything we can get!
Ooohhhh, ice vest. I need that. Here in Phoenix, 115, 🔥
"It's a dry heat" lol
@@kumd , yes of course.
You poor thing, we are in New Mexico and went to Tucson a couple of weeks ago and my son said it was like living in satans jockey’s lol!! Like you don’t even want to get out of the car. It’s hot here too but Phx is worse. My BMW was bought in Phx. It has everything except heated seats and I couldn’t figure out why, well it was a custom car and you don’t need heated seats there. The original owner omitted them. Crazy
@@dinkywinkydog1311 lol
Nice 25°C in Germany :D
My wife has used the neck fan on dogs when she's performing surgery on them. 🤷🏻♂️ (She is a veterinarian, not just some wierdo.) Also not the next gen one, the old one you had
"she is a veterinarian, not just some weirdo" lolol
Sean, why the neck fan during surgery? Isn't the surgical room cold? Or is there some other reason? I'm an avid animal lover; please tell your wife I said "thank you" for her efforts on behalf of animals.
As a mail carrier, a cooling sun hat has been a win. I have the Mission Sun Defender. The neck fan I bought was cancelled out by a slight breeze, cooling towels are okay, but just turn into damp warm rags. Arm sleeves are great too
Thank you so much for this entertaining review James. I bet Brandon looked a real picture with all the stuff you put on him.
"I don't like the wet feeling back there"
🤣😂🤣 Someone got it besides me ✌💗
Great reviews. Thanks for making the video
really like this guy's energy
That vest sounds cool! I use towels that you get wet and they keep you cool, it's soooooooooo nice when it's hot out!
Thank you for the review. None of these products are for me. You have helped me decide to keep my money in my pocket on all of these items. Thank you so much.
"Cooling Vest" Seems like a great product every high school should buy one for each player that hast to practice outdoors. This kids are baking!
My neck fan was 150.00 and it may be expensive but it has saved me from going into heatstroke. I'm definitely trying the ice vest. Thanks for the review.
EXCELLENT YT VIDEO! Very informative and exceptional filming
