Hey, whatever works :)

Not a bad way to go actually. Speaking of the wrestling vests, I got an email about mine being sent not too long ago. I'm wondering if it might get here today or tomorrow.

I just spoke to revival clothing, they don't have the color I want in the size I need in stock, so I
opted for a black one instead of waiting another 3-4 weeks for the forest green one. :-\

Oh man, that's a shame. At least black is your other main color!

So here are some pictures of my new $10.00 cooling T-shirt!

Ok I wore this on Saturday in the heat and brutal humidity. I tested my new cooling T-shirt by putting
on my green gambeson (the heaviest gambeson I own) along with my maille and surcoat by 9:00 AM
and the ice packs gave up (melted) by 1:00 PM so the shirt worked very well considering the extreme
circumstances I tested it under. I believe the ice packs will last a couple of hours longer with a lighter
weight gambeson which should be this coming weekend if I get my new wrestling jacket! ;)
