Cooling vest

hi I’m needing some help. My work has said they will buy me a cooling vest but the ones that are a cheap price are the ones that need soaked in water but as I will be at work I don’t want one like that and all the other ones with gel or ice packs seem to be from America and are quiet expensive. I don’t want work to feel like I’m taking the mick!! Does anyone know of where I can get a one from England and is there any help out there to help us buy the equipment we need? (In America the ms society helps with the cost or fund them for free) thank you

Hi Emma

I hope you are well.

Did you ever receive any response to this post?

Did you buy a vest in the end? If so, would you be able to provide some comments on it and a link to the vest?

I have MS/Optic Neuritis and suffer from blurred vision when my body temperature increases. As the years go by and my symptoms worse, I have noticed that my vision appears to worsen with less of an increase in my body temperature. As a consequence, I would like to invest in some decent cooling wear which allows me to go for walks, garden, ride my bike, work at home and even run without my vision blurring so much / so quickly.

Feedback on your vest would be very useful. If you have any other hints / tips (other than the really obvious ones at Top tips for staying cool in the heat | MS Society) I would be grateful to receive them.

Dan
