Cooling vests - any suggestions

My wife has MS and we have tried the vest that you soak for a few minutes remove excess water and you are good to go. Have a cooler on the trailer thought it was perfect. Not so, if you take to much water out it does not cool very long if you leave it with a little more water in it she ends up with a wet t-shirt did not keep her very cool.
This year we got a cool vest that you freeze some gel packs and put them in the vest. For us anyway it is way better kept her cool for hours in 90 degrees and she did not have a wet T-shirt. This summer we went with our friends to VT from CT. When we stopped every on was complaining about the heat and drinking gallons of water. My wife was cool made the trip for us much better. Cooling vest with gel packs is not cheap think it was $200. But it kept my wife in the wind so for us it was well worth it.
