what size Cool Suit?

I'm no expert (just installed my 12qt tonight) but I think the rule of thumb is get the biggest one you can fit in your car. The bigger it is the less often you have to replenish the ice.

Here are some comparisons on the Cool Shirt models:
12 qt - 3+ hours of cooling time - dimensions 14"L, x 9.5"W x 11"H
24 qt - 6+ hours of cooling time - dimensions 15.5L x 10.5W x 13H
We recommend using a large block of ice with some cubes or crushed ice around the block and fill the cooler with just enough water to clear the pump. The water will stay cooler longer (the ice won't melt as fast if it's in a block).

For the last run, we usually empty out some of the water from the Cool Shirt and dump in the ice that's been in the cooler for drinks. This gets you thru the last run of the day if it's been sitting there for more than 6 hours. It all depends on how hot/humid it is, how long you are actually running the system, etc. Sometimes, one fill lasts all day for us.

I assume weight is important to any 951 racer, so I would suggest the 12 qt. I have both and the 24 qt weighs around 25-30 lbs. 1/2 full. The 12 weighs weighs considerably less depending how full you fill it. Replenishing is an easy task....

go with the biggest cooler you can fit. You can always take some weight out of the car somewhere else to compensate. On 100 degree days, expect to top of the ice twice.
