OK this is my plan. This for the dogs.

Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket



Vendor: Chilly Buddy Type: Dog Misc. 2007 Editors’ Choice Award from Pet Product News International

Shipping/Handling is only $5.95


Reduce your dog’s coat temperature by an average of 40% during hot weather with the Chillybuddy!


Chillybuddy is a light-weight mesh cooling jacket designed specifically to keep a dog comfortable in hot weather and reduce the effect of exposure to the sun. The jacket’s outer layer is made of woven synthetic with an aluminized finish. The twisted strands of the fabric function like thousands of tiny mirrors, reflecting all wavelengths of light away from the surface. The jacket is lined with a cotton mesh. Both layers allow air to pass freely through. The cotton mesh liner can be wetted to provide substantial evaporative cooling. Unlike other wet jackets, the evaporation occurs in the shade of the outer layer, creating an unusually cool environment on the hottest days.


Facts:

Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket can significantly lower coat temperature and provides a shield from direct sunlight.

On a 90° F day, wearing a Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket can lower the coat temperature from 145° F to 103° F, a reduction of almost 30%.

Soaking the Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket in water to dampen the cotton lining before use can lower a dog’s coat temperature by a further 20 degrees—from 103° F to 83° F. Cotton has been repeatedly shown to be the best fiber to hold water for evaporative cooling. Synthetic wicking fabrics are useless in this application because dogs do not sweat.


For light-haired dogs, a Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket also protects the underlying skin from sunburn.


Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket can protect coats of show dogs from bleaching by the sun — which often occurs as summertime reddening or browning, especially at the tips of the coat.

The Chillybuddy Cooling Jacket was field-tested in mountain terrain and open-field hunting.

And this is for the dog box and truck.

SilverShadecan reduce enclosed area temperatures by up to 20%! Eliminate the heat build-up problems of conventional shade tarps and tents that absorb the sun's rays, generate heat and trap it inside.This highly reflective fabric acts like a mirror reflecting away the sun and it's heat,while facilitating any cooling air flow. The fabric is durable, light weight, easy to use, rot and mold resistant; it won't run or unravel and can be washed with a garden hose.



Note the supple, high quality finished edges on SilverShadeproducts as opposed to the plasticbindings of other tarps! We are unbeaten in shade and cooling because we use the highest quality mesh reflectivefabric made. Our rolled-rim toothed grommets are hand set in heat-cut holes for life time placement with 12" spacings for convenience, improved strength, and easy match-up with other tarps.



I figure if I can keep the dogs temperature from the get going and keep the boxes cool I should be good to go. I let you guys know what I find after I test this out.
