Selling my 2017 RINI Cool box with new XL vest, used XL short sleve and used L long sleeve.
These do not come up for sale very often as they are the lightest cooling system on the market.
This system works alright in sprint races. Beware in endurance applications though: we encountered multiple difficulties with it during the 24H of Dubai this year. The price is really attractive for what it is. GLWS!

We used it for PCA sprints and enduros with success.
We find that the shirts need to have the cleaning solution in them to maintain and avoid alge build up in the filter.
It is nice, compact and lightweight.
IMSA wont allow us to run it this season which is the only reason why I am selling it.
Kills me to sell the box. If IMSA allowed it, i would be using it this season!

Would you keep it? You're practically giving it away at that price. I would use it in sprint racing if not for wanting to build up my heat tolerance.
FYI the issues we've had aren't related to algae buildup at all. Completely new system bled and tested in advance. Had repeated issues with the pump going into limp mode after driver changes during race. Then in one of my stints the flo-lock connector outright *failed* and sprayed water all over the cockpit (to me this was an unforgivable fail that could've had race-ending consequences). IMO this system is just not designed to withstand the rigors of twenty-second driver changes over 24 hours.
A local dealer is looking into the limp mode issue for us, but I'm not particularly hopeful.
Still I think this system is brilliant for anything under a couple hours, and where the driver has all the time to fiddle everything to perfection.

We have used it for two seasons but our enduros are only 80 minutes with one driver change.
We keep both shirts primed and have had no issues with connectors.
The only time we have experienced limp mode on the pump was when the filters were dirty and needed to be cleaned.
For 24 hours it is perhaps asking alot of the little box. But for sprints and PCA enduros it is a great weight saver.
