Gerbing Cooling Vests

Gerbing Cooling Vest Buying Guide

Cooling vests work on the same principle as heated ones, in reverse: they target the core, the area that drives how hot your whole body feels. Depending on the type, they use evaporation, phase-change packs, or circulating water to draw heat away from the torso — buying you longer, safer time in the heat before your body starts to overheat. For hot-weather work, riding, or training, cooling the core is the most efficient way to stay comfortable.

Cool the Core, Cool the Body

Just as warming the core is the most efficient way to feel warm, cooling the core is the most efficient way to feel cool. For targeted relief at the neck — where blood runs close to the surface — pair a vest with a cooling towel or a neck fan for a noticeable step up in comfort.

Match the Type to the Job

Evaporative vests are light and reusable but need dry air to work; phase-change vests hold a set temperature for a fixed window regardless of humidity; circulating-water systems run longest but weigh more. Match the type to how long you're out and how humid it gets.
