I understand I live in TX. the heat has already limited me going outside. I do have a cool vest I plan to try it this summer do not expect a big change. I love being outside as of now I try to be inside by ten in the morning, even then some mornings hard to make it inside, no trips to the though.

I get what you are saying about the heat, I live about 20 minutes north of Austin, Tx and it’s been getting more hot here every day! 😉

On Amazon here in the U.K., you can buy a pack of neck wraps that you put in the freezer, then you wear them around your neck, quite refreshing, but 103*, it’s only the end of May! 🌞

I know what you mean! I'm in NC and it's been 96 for the past

3 days. I put an ice pack under my hat, helps a bit.

[pamgarner in reply to leking1]

good idea!

I use frogg toggs in my hat and send my neck. They are light weight and can be wet in cool water. My daughter saw then at Disney world. I like them much better than the neck wraps that are full of beads.

Frog togs are good. You can wet them and freeze them. They keep cool for a while and are light weight. Good for outside and sports. Sell for pretty cheap online and in stores. 👍❤🌷

[pamgarner in reply to RoseySawyer]

i forgot about frog togs,I knew you all would come to my rescue

THANK-YOU!!!!

Wow,that's hot!

We get hot and humid weather here but not usually those temps.

If I have to be outside, I try to get things done before noon.

Outdoor events,I will take a wheelchair if there is a lot of walking involved.

That chair has helped a great deal and has saved me from being wiped out at the end of the day on more than one occasion.

Events held on lawns is why I am looking into rollators that will roll well over grass,etc.If I do find one,then I might get a cooling towel or something like that.

[Iona60 in reply to falalalala]

If you can't find a rollator, maybe a big wheeled baby stroller, like one that is used for running may work. Just put your purse or a sack of flour in the seat.

[falalalala in reply to Iona60]

Or myself and have my husband push me!
