Re: Re: [RC] Cool Medic vests -- any problems?? - betndez

I've used mine about 6-8 times and it still performs as it did the first time.  I have never laundered it and I always lay it out flat to dry after wearing.  The first couple of times wearing it I noticed lots of "beads" bleeding out of the stitching.   Mine probably doesn't plump up as much now as it did when new but it's still satisfactory.

I have had the exact same issues with mine.  It's been a huge disappointment.  The "beads" seem to have totally disappeared from my vest and it doesn't hold the water anymore.  I bought mine from Healthy as a Horse as well and spoke with Susan about it at Tevis in 2007.  One thing that is not mentioned anywhere on the product literature that I received was not to wash it in a top-loading washer.
