K9 EvapoVest Faq:

1. Can the K9 EvapoVest be worn during activity?

   While the vest can be worn during activity, our recommendation is to utilize the vest afterwards to help cool the body down. Combining with airflow, wind, or a fan is best to maximize cooling

2. Can I clip my leash directly to the K9 EvapoVest?

   No. At this time, the design of our vest does not allow for a leash to be clipped directly to it. The material is best suited for evaporative cooling vs. serving as a functional harness for walking. We would recommend use of the vest post-activity or post-walking.

3. What determines the price difference amongst the different vests?

   Prices may vary, even on the same size vests, due to some vest colors being challenging to come by, or requiring more sheets of material. The fabric our vests are made out of are typically used in niche applications; and therefore it is not widely available to consumers or stocked in typical fabric stores. There is only a small number of textile mills producing this fabric and it is not mass-market like what you may see some other cooling vests made out of.

4. Does evaporative cooling work on fur?
   Yes, evaporative cooling can work on fur, especially in hot, dry climates. The wet fabric evaporates and cools the animal’s body. However, high humidity can hinder the evaporation process. A fan is recommended if you choose to utilize the vest after activity in more humid climates.

5. Does humidity and environment matter?
   Evaporative cooling is most effective in hot, dry climates where the air can readily absorb moisture. In humid environments, the air is already saturated with water vapor, and the cooling effect is diminished.
