Here in the sunny South my mate and I's tolerance for the 90 to 100 degree weather is diminishing. We are looking for type two vests that allow some air to cool our aged bodies. We can't seem to find any in the catalogs that aren't the bulbous bib style or buckled pieces of foam that wrap around tight and cut off all air circulation.
Auto inflators and May Wests don't appear to be an alternative because of the risk of hot ash burning a hole in them as we empty the ashpan in our steam launch (dang woodburner!). One vest for all of our boats seems like the way to go.
Any one have knowledge of a cool wearing vest that would like to share?
