After 1600+ miles on the 4th of July weekend in 95 and 100 degree weather I am evaluating the ATGATT principle. It was a tab bit hot out. So I have ordered a cooling vest from SoundRider. - The instructions say to submerge for 1-2 mimutes and then gently remove the excess water. - SoundRider has supplemental instructions that say to let it hang for 5 minutes, to remove the excess water. And that it will last longer if you dont wring it out. So my questions are about practical usage. How do you carry it when not in use. Soundrider is pushing a drybag and not ziplocks. I am wondering if a 1 gallon zip lock works. We buy them by the case at costco. Who cares if it only goes one ride. Do you actually prep these in advance, carry it wet and put on when the day gets hot. Or stop and prep as needed when the time comes. When on the road refilling at the rest area, or assuming initial prep is on the road, how do you remove the excess water. How much is enough, IE how wet to you get then you put the thing on 2003 Concours, 53K COG #6953 IBA 28004 http://mysite.verizon.net/slybones/Concours/connieMain.htm
