I'm looking for some basic information on the Cool Shirt Portable Bag system, the 12qt in particular.
How do you restrain it in the vehicle? Block ice or crushed, does it matter? Temperature control, does the portable system use the FC-1 controller? How do you power it, hard wire or power port?

Thanks,
Dave

I used the 6qt bag system at a DE at VIR last July with excellent results. It was more than enough for multiple 30 minute sessions before refreshing the ice. I've been clipping it to the seat rails behind the stock seat and plugging in to the ACC outlet in the console. I got mine from LG Motorsports:

I really noticed an improved ability to focus during the sessions and I was not nearly as fatigued after the sessions. It really made it a much more enjoyable experience.

Make sure the shirt fits snugly; it will transfer heat away better.

Dave. THe owner of CoolShirt is an SCCA racer. Runs a GT1 Camaro at hillclimbs, uses his own system for sure. Good guy. Give Rich a buzz, or the LG guys. I have used their system, made a big difference in my late afternoon times.

I tried the RPCM cool vest (gel packs in a vest) last year and was supprised how well it worked. I had them on for 45 minutes on a 100 degree day, they were still cool whwn I took them off.
The gel packs refreeze in your cooler at anything below 59 degrees.
