I rode to Sturgis, a far and distant land
the heat was like the burning sand
In our posse there was a mass
and I feel like the cooling vest saved my A**
Better cooling worn with the microfiber shirt.
Oh yea, the folks at Silver are really great.

We headed out for Florida Sun morn at 9 AM It was nice and cool but by noon we were well into mid Alabama and stopped for lunch on Highway 231. At that time the temp was showing 90 degrees on the bike thermo. After lunch it was near 95 degrees and no clouds evident. I had put the VEST in the big plastic bag before leaving Ditto Campground and merely removed it, rung it out, and donned it. What an amazing product! I do not know how I lived without one of these! The remainder of the ride to Panama City was so comfortale and even though the temp was near 96 when we hit Dothan, I was cool and comfortable. Thanks so much for coming to the Chicken Rally and offering your products. I'll take it to work at the port and show-and-tell it. Maybe I can drum up some mail orders for you?
Take care and thanks again. You have a very satisfied customer.

Just wanted to thank you for getting the do rags to me
with the vests. I went out and did 300 miles on the Beemer yesterday, temp
was around 92, and I rode very, very comfortably with the vest. I am impressed
and very happy.
I used to ride a Harley and wear nothing but leather vests, now I wear my
Widder electric vest when it is cold and my Silver Eagle when its hot. Very
coool.
I just wanted to let you know I am a happy camper with my purchases. Thanks
again.

My wife couldn't believe I spent $95 for these vests! Day one of the ride, 91 and humid, we were feeling great and the other couple were roasting. At the first stop she thanked me for the vest. I asked her to describe to the other woman passenger how the cooling effect was and she said " like waking up to a hot flash, throwing off the covers and being under the ceiling fan". The other couple have just been sent your web address for ordering their own vests. I plan to order hats now.
-Benton Blalock
Excellent customer service. I ordered on 6/15 and received it on 6/18 without paying expedite costs!I Routinely ride in West Texas 100 plus degree weather and the vest is an absolute God-send!
-Max Dominguez
I would like to say Thank You for a wonderful product and
some exceptional customer service...
My husband and I both bought your vests this July at Wing Ding in Madison
and had the opportunity to wear them while riding home. They worked great;
thank you for a wonderful product that keeps you cool in hot weather. My
husband and I will be sure to tell all of our friends and anyone that will
listen about your product...
As a footnote, my husband also got a back cap in Madison, and, let me tell you that is all I hear: "Want to feel my hat?"
Sincerely,

Just want to thank you for the great customer service (A1!).
You made it easy for us to keep riding while staying Cool in Arizona. I
went a head and got the under the helmet cap and combined with the vest:
it's great!
Before we got our vest and caps from you last year [my wife and I] were housebound. We looked into every form of keeping cool on a motorcycle; at 110°, it was like riding a blow dryer. I spent 2 weeks of researching keeping cool on a motorcycle in AZ. Of all the other Vests I came across, YOURS was the right choice. It really does what it supposed to.
Your Vests have made it possible for us to go anywhere anytime we want. Now, we don't even think of "how hot is it today outside?"
Just wanted to thank you again,

I am so glad I bought the Silver Eagle cooling vest at the Las Vegas Bikefest. With the Arizona heat, it is a necessity and makes riding my motorcycle much more inviting. The vest is lightweight and provides just the right amount of cooling. When it starts drying out it just takes minutes to refresh the cooling action. It packs so well I can take it along, just in case the temperature soars during the day. Thanks for a great product.
Follow-up comments from this customer:
I thought I would give you and update: I bought my vest when you were at
the Las Vegas rally last year. My husband had a competitor's vest, which
now sits at home while he borrows mine. In fact he is wearing it today on
the way to a HOG Rally. My vest is lighter weight and cools better. When
it stops cooling, it is a quick refresh to moisten it and be on the road
again. People ask him if he isn't hot wearing a black vest in the summer,
and he gets to tell them about your great product. He really likes the way
my vest is so packable, it can be with him so he is always prepared for
the heat. Does it sound like I may have to get him one of his own? :)

My partner and I purchased many products for our recent 3-week, 5,213-mile motorcycle trip. Of all those products, we were most pleased with the ones we bought from Silver Eagle Outfitters. The Cool Vest is an excellent product and we have recommended it to all of our friends and fellow riders. In addition to your superb products, the customer service you provided was exceptional.
There are always going to be the occasional technical glitches or sizing challenges, when ordering online. How a company handles those kinds of problems demonstrates the true measure of their customer service. Based on my experience, I can honestly say that Silver Eagle Outfitters is king of the customer service hill.
Thank you for showing us how customers should be treated by every company. In addition, please pass along my compliments to your colleagues for creating a marvelous product line that really works.
Cordially,

I just wanted to let you all know how pleased I am with my new vest. I have a real problem with the heat in the summertime and well living here in Southern California, well let's just say, to go anywhere you have to ride through desert!! I have pretty much backed off riding my Harley during the summer as I have become really sensitive to the heat. I saw your vest at the Laughlin River Run, but I only bought your baseball cap at that time. It was great. I wore it all weekend in the 85 degree heat and I kept really cool. I just received your vest and put it to a hard test yesterday. We rode up the coast and then back inland where it was 110 degrees. Where I knew it was hot from the sun on my skin, the vest kept my body temp down and I returned home feeling just fine. After riding in that heat for two hours, the vest was still moist and cool inside!!
Thanks to you guys, I will be riding to the 100th anniversary of Harley Davidson in Milwaukee this summer instead of flying. By the way, several of my friends saw my vest and I am sure you will be getting lots of orders from this neck of the woods!!
Thanks Again!

At 80, degrees I liked it. At 95, I really liked it. At 105, I literally thanked God for it.

There we were - east of Cody, Wyoming. The temp was 107 and we were stopped for road construction. The vest saved my life!! It even works when not moving.

My vest works better than you claimed it would. I will not ride in the summer without it. Please have customers call me if they need convincing. (Number available on request)
-Terry Thompson
I can ride for six hours and the vest is still working. The only reason I recharged the vest - I was out of gas anyway.

Bought summer of '03. Rode in 110° heat with full riding gear. NO PROBLEM. Lasted six hours through Dakota.

Just thought I'd drop you a note regarding your Silver Eagle products. If you remember, I picked up a Do-Rag and vest for evaluation while at Arizona Bike Week. Let me compliment you on these products. In the heat of AZ, I was kept cool as a cucumber. On the trip back to Canada, I used the vest as an insulator, which worked almost to the point of mistaking it for my electric vest. Shortly I will be writing about the attributes of your clothing line. Thank you.

We just wanted to let you know that the Silver Eagle Cooling Vests that Dianne and I bought from you at Sturgis 2002 are fantastic. We just love them. Besides the fact that they are stylish and extremely well made, they perform exactly as you said they would. The vests not only kept us really cool and comfortable in the hot weather, it is like getting two vests for the price of one as we are now wearing our vests for warmth as the weather is turning colder here in Wisconsin. Also, I would like to thank you again for your outstanding service. When I purchased my vest in Sturgis and found that the first one was too small, you did not hesitate to tell me that you would get me a larger one and mail it to me at no additional expense to me. What really makes this extraordinary is the fact that I paid cash for both of our vests and did not even ask for a receipt. This did not even dawn on me until sometime later, but I guess I was impressed with your straight forward honesty. It is really nice to know that there are people like you that still do business on their word, especially in this day in age. Thank you again for everything.
Sincerely,
Mike and Dianne Cahoon
I bought the hat at Sturgis Rally. I was comfortable all day long in the hot sun. So easy to get it wet and go. Keeps your head cool all day.

I'm from Texas and wore one of your women's vests in Cody, Wyoming. The BEST! I plan on trying to see if people in Texas aren't interested in buying these. What a life saver!!

We were all miked, and the other riders were saying, "Gee it's hot!" and I said, "Is it?" with my Silver Eagle Vest on.

Your product is great. Rode 1400 miles to Sturgis form California with the vest and Do-Rag. I was less exhausted and more comfortable than other riders.
