It’s literally two pockets (front and back), Velcro straps, and 4 ice packs ?. Manufactured to standards of course, not kludged together by random staff members getting creative.
My husband works in a hot environment, and has used a cooling vest for several years. It is a vest with 11 pockets, 6 in front and 5 in back. Each pocket takes a small gel pack, I guess about 2" x 4", that we freeze overnight.
He does not use the 2 pockets over his nipples!

PLEASE give me a cooling vest, I burn up every night under all this garb.
