So far mine has easily made it through and entire troop or 2 on new batteries. The only thing to consider is rewetting the sponge.

Great Idea indeed. I used this on a troop last friday and it worked very well. I wore a belt under my inner tunic and ran the hose through through the back of the inner and outer robes into my helmet. On a fresh set of batteries it can handle a whole troop.

I have the cooler on a belt underneath the robes and run up to my helmet. How is everyone getting the end of the tube to stay in a good position inside the helmet and not move everywhere?

I've been trying to find a good way to do that. I had a troop on Saturday, and I tried running the tubes up underneath my underarmor shirt. And it worked wonderfully. Alternatively, some paired velcro on the inside of the helmet and on the tubes themselves would hold it in place. I considered doing that, but I wanted to try just the underarmor method first.
