[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1959330, member: 468714"] Gidday again [USER=454444]@Cobia[/USER], one thing about all the pumps is that you cannot read the ##** screens in the full sunlight. Just the same as with mobile phones !! The waterproofness of most pumps would handle a sheep dip but you would wish to have a good extra patch of protective adhesive over the cannula entry site. Wearing a pump inside the shirt, in a pouch with ice blocks may do the trick , temperature-wise.. There could be the risk of damaging a pump on railings, gates etc so padding ++. It might pay to try putting a thermometer and ice brick in a neck or waist wallet , wear it on a couple of hot working days and to see how the temperatures go plus see how long the ice bricks last before needing changeover and how well back -up ones in the esky last.
