Warren,
I used mine 4 of the six travel days. Mostly the last leg in the afternoon. It worked great ... but we were riding in the low humidity on open roads with few stops (SD, MT, WY, ID, WA). I packed it in a 2.5 gal zip lock bag. At a fuel stop, I would fill the bag with cool water, make sure that the vest was saturated (approx. 3 qts), shake it out and put it on over poly tee shirt and under my jacket. It kept my shoulders and back very cool. I am not sure how well it will work in high humidity or stopped in traffic. It will also make your clothes damp (not a problem in this case). I will be packing it for all warm weather riding.
