prevent brain freeze.

Seriously, ice to the groin is one thing but I'd be extra cautious with
ice in such a delicate area as the scrotum.
And no ice or heat for that matter in areas lacking normal sensation.

Being a quad, especially when I was younger I always wanted to solve the

something. I had this idea of a plastic cap like a membrane( goes on your

that could hold water and have little holes on the bottom side It would have
a tube going to a water reservoir and a egg shaped pump you could press
on to push the water from the reservoir, up the tube in the hat and out the
holes onto the whole surface of your head. You could disguise this device
with a ballcap or boonie hat. It would immediately cool you down with a
couple pumps. maybe even find a better way to activate the pump without
pushing. Would be so valuable. I use a mini hairspray bottle to cool me off.
nobody gets the fact that quads don't sweat. Nobody ever believes me. They
want to have a 30 minute conversation with me in the blazing sun.

Re: [QUAD-L] device made up in my head to stay cool
I bought a cooling towel xtralarge (from Amazon). I get it wet b4 bed and keep it on my nightstand. In the middle of night when I get hot I throw it across my body and zip the ceiling fan on high.a.

Re: [QUAD-L] device made up in my head to stay cool
I use a misty mate 16 or 24oz works great, fill it 3/4's full and pump it up it's good 3 to 6 hours depending on how much you use it.
