Not every product lives up to the hype. But sometimes, a small investment can make a big difference. This is the story of how a simple cooling vest helped a Florida-based mechanic stay cool, focused, and productive through one of the hottest summers on record.
Meet Tony: Auto Mechanic, Dad, and Heat Survivor
Tony R., age 36, works in a non-air-conditioned auto garage near Tampa, FL. With metal roofs, blacktop surroundings, and full PPE requirements, his workdays often felt like an oven—especially June through September.
“Even with three fans in the shop, it felt like I was cooking from the inside out by noon.”
By early July, Tony was hitting his breaking point:
- Frequent dizziness around 2 PM
- Two heat-related sick days already
- Not enough energy after work to be present with his kids
The Turning Point: A $60 Fan Vest
After a friend in construction recommended a USB-powered cooling vest, Tony decided to try the LITEGUEST WorkCool Fan Vest.
“I wasn’t expecting much. Just something to help me last longer than lunch.”
He charged the vest overnight, filled his small power bank, and wore it under his short-sleeved work uniform the next day.
The Results: What Changed
✅ Day 1:
Tony ran the fans on low for the first 3 hours. Felt cooler than usual, especially when walking between bays.
✅ Day 3:
Wore it on full power during a 1-hour tire job in direct sun.
“It was like having a breeze follow me. I was still sweating—but not drenched.”
✅ Week 2:
No more dizziness. Didn’t feel the need to take unscheduled breaks.
Still had energy to play outside with his kids in the evening.

💡 “Wearing it under your work shirt actually makes it more effective. Traps the airflow better.”
💡 “Get two power banks if you work over 8 hours—it’s worth it.”
