Macna, distributed in Australian by Link International, has announced the availability of its Dry Evo Cool vest, which boasts upgrades over the previous model.

The Macna Dry Evo Cooling vest works on a simple evaporative system – add 600ml of water into the two-layer vest, the water is absorbed into the special internal weave and as air passes over the vest the evaporative effect creates significant cooling.

As the water evaporates the cooling effect creates up to a 15-degree temperature reduction, minimising perspiration loss and keeping the rider dry.

600ml of water can last up to three days of riding before needing to be refilled. The vest is made of nylon with an anti-bacterial treatment, so no problems to wash it. It includes holes for extra ventilation and weighs roughly one kilogram with the full amount of water.

Available at participating dealerships and online retailers in sizes small to 5X-large, the Macna Dry Evo Cool vest is priced at at RRP $249.95. For more information, visit www.macnaridinggear.com.au.
