    Forget the overpriced fast stuff. Buy the cool shirt and then go to ebay and get a Donjoy iceman used for way less than the fast stuff. It's made for use after surgeries and stuff but has the same fittings to hook up to the cool shirts.

    That's exactly what I did. Works great.

    You need something for sure. We're not 20 anymore. Tom and I use the 12 qt cool suit setup which is good for 1 hour or so with 4 lbs of ice. The system is amazing! Easy setup but a bit pricey. Tom installed an on/off switch off a 12v battery source and grounded the other lead. He placed the switch right in the center of the dash of the civic within easy reach of the driver. Last week, I purchased the undertray, which cleaned up the look a bit, as well as the drainage accessories.

    PS. the hoses that come with the cool suit shirt system/cooler are pretty long so, running the cooler from the trunk should be possible.

    Sew two old T-shirts together with a few pockets to hold ice packs ($1 ea at Walmart) and for less than $5 you're got a cool shirt that you can change out the packets for frozen ones. It's enough to keep your head cool and in the game.
