Ergodyne Chill-Its 6602 Evaporative Cooling Towel, Blue 13 inches x 29.5 inches

I bought this for my husband because he works outside detailing vehicles and is a porter and the building that is utilized when detailing vehicles does not have any air-conditioning. We’ve been going through a very dangerous heat warning. This is the same exact cooling towel that we were given when I worked as a mail carrier and it was the difference between night and day as to how I felt when I was out in the heat delivering I was so pleased when this came and I realize that it was the exact same product I used at the USPS so I already know how wonderful this product is and I am glad that I have a chance to introduce this product to my husband. I know he will get some good use out of it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but these cooling towels exceeded every expectation. They cool down almost instantly when you wet, wring, and snap them, and they stay cool much longer than I expected. They’re perfect for workouts, outdoor activities, or just surviving the summer heat. The material is soft, lightweight, and comfortable against the skin, and they don’t feel heavy or sticky. They’ve made a huge difference during hot days, and I find myself reaching for them all the time. If you’re looking for an easy way to stay cool, I highly recommend these. Definitely worth the purchase!

I got theses for my husband as he works in a hot factory. They have been very durable, the are not sticky but are seem to get hard when dry. They do have a scent to them but it's not to strong. They absorb the water , I think it was a good value for the money.Eady to use it keeps him cool , just wet,ring use.i got the the grey color.

Every year I volunteer at our city’s Fourth of July celebration. This year was incredibly hot. I was stationed outside and had 2 of the here with me. I kept them both wet and boy, I saved m from passing out. They are great. Have purchased twice. You can wash in washer, but drape over a c g air to dry.

I have three products with me to test: Ergodyne Chill-Its, Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad Your Generic Paper Towels (Control) Examination: I tested all three with different parts of my neck. Paper Towels are okay, they still feel cool, since water absorbs heat like crazy. This is the control. However, after using Ergodyne and Frogg Toggs, I noticed that they were significantly cooler, since they stayed cool, where as Your Generic Paper Towels will stop being cool after a few minutes. Anyways, Ergodyne when opened, smelt like gasoline, corn oil, or diesel. Fairly off-putting, I had to use soap and water to clean it. As of right now, (15 minutes later) the Ergodyne is less cool than my Frogg Toggs, suggesting that they evaporate water much quicker than Frogg Toggs. In any case, when I opened the Frogg Toggs, it smelt as if someone wiped their...A** with it. Quite like if you had the mixture of manure and some sort of sour or expired milk. This was the most off-putting of smells. I still smell it faintly, even though it was washed with soap and water. And Paper Towels? I don't think I need to evaluate them, since everyone can test with a paper towel. Findings: All seem to be cool to the touch, but some are a bit cooler than others. Why? I assume that Frogg Toggs absorb and retain the most water, making them the most "cool". #3: Paper Towels: Paper Towels are cool, but don't match up to the other two. #2: Ergodyne: Not as effective as Frogg Toggs, but if you're hot you probably won't know/care about the difference. #1: Frogg Toggs: The most effective, but Ergodyne's is a close second. In short, this Ergodyne towel is nice and it works, but for ten dollars, I feel that I could just use some regular ol' towel for a much cheaper price. At least they don't smell. Edit: And you could just buy a towel, because I used a new test, a damp shirt. After getting a splash of juice on it, I applied some water and soap. I then questioned the efficacy between a damp shirt and this towel. I then placed my towel near the stain. There was no real difference in temperature between this towel and this a wet shirt. In order to get this towel cold, I advise placing it in a fridge, or as a chilled/frozen plastic bottle water cover. Update: If your towel starts to get warm, please grab the towel and spin it around in a circle. That'll make it cool again.

Works well post workout or just when it's overly hot out with the crazy summers we've had. This helps make them bearable. Worth the money. Washes well

Received TODAY, 7/3. I'm in Illinois, where it is currently 85-95 degrees. The actual HUMIDITY is what gets you! Product not what I expected, as far as material is concerned. As I read some of the reviews AFTER purchase, (some, but not enough prior), someone described the feeling as, like yoga mat material. Another customer described it as "tire material". I am not a fan of the feel of the material used. Seems somewhat BULKY. I don't know if you have a similar product that is narrow like a men's tie. I think that would feel a lot better around the neck, and lay flatter, as well as changing the material used. I purchased 2 pink & 2 blue, maybe keeping one (pink) for myself, and giving the other ones to delivery drivers. I will see how the delivery drivers like them. I can't speak on the drying process, nor the actual length of time it stays cool. I guess I misread also, as I thought it would be cold, like freezer cold. Not just "cool". But a plus is, you CAN PUT IT IN THE FREEZER. Cheap enough that if one doesn't like it, they can toss it, which is what I most likely will do with mine.

Great product, works like it's supposed to. I use this to cool down when I have a migraine or sinus headache and it works! I don't like to use a cold pack for my headaches because they seem to make them worse. I wet the towel with cold tap water, wring and fold it in half then lay the towel over my forehead, eyes and sinuses. I also use this when I feel hot after work or traveling in the car. Instant relief! I bought 3 different brands of cooling towels (Chill-its, Frogg Togg and Mission EnduraCool) to try and I like the Chill-Its the most: lightweight, doesn't feel like a wet towel or too spongy in texture, was the 2nd coldest towel among the 3 brands and stayed cool for a couple hours at least in upper 80s degrees heat & heavy humidity (I live in Hawaii) before needing to be recharged/wet again. It doesn't have a strong odor like some reviewers stated at least not IME, does have a chamois-like cloth texture whether wet or dry (almost like the chamois cloths for cars but they don't keep you cool like Chill-Its, I tried one out of curiosity) and is easy to care for - just wash with mild detergent (preferably fragrance-free) and hang to dry then store in case or store in its' case moist in the refrigerator as recommended by manufacturer to make it colder longer. Reasonably priced and cheapest of the 3 at less than $9. Frogg Toggs was a very close 2nd in my opinion: it was the coldest of the 3 brands I tried and also stayed cold the longest. It was the heaviest of the 3 towels though, bled blue dye when I first washed it (I got one in varsity blue); has this slightly spongy texture and a latex smell initially. Frogg Togg was reasonably priced at $10+. My brother immediately snapped it up and used it during a recent pistol competition where it kept him nice and cool and comfortable throughout. Mission EnduraCool towel I liked the least, I bought it at a local sports store where it was the only available cooling towel. I wasn't impressed, it just felt like a regular wet towel after following the instructions, even tried cold water and snapping it several more times with no appreciable difference in coldness (only got cold with use of cold water, but warmed up quick within half an hour). It was 2nd heaviest in weight when wet/damp among the 3 towels I tried, it felt wet even when wrung well and had a slight chemical smell. It does have a nice silky-like fabric feel and looks the least like a car finishing cloth among the 3 brands, was ready to use/wet right out of the case (the other 2 brands need to be washed first before use) but that's all it had going for it. It was the most expensive at more than $20 + sales tax but I needed some cooling towels last minute to send with my parents who were going out of the country at the time. I would definitely buy the Chill-Its towel again when I need another cooling towel.

Great size and definitely works. I put it under the tap, wring it out then give it a few shakes. Keeps me cool for about an hour before I need a redo. I work as a tradie so am always running hot!

Amazing product. Helped me to work in summers . Recommended it to others also

good

J'ai acheté cette serviette pour mon mari, car il partait pour le Mali, avec 48° prévus. Bien sûr elle ne fait pas de miracle, mais reste plus fraîche que l'air ambiant ce qui permet au corps de se poser un peu en la mettant sur la tête ou autour du cou.

Tem sido realmente muito útil tanto para atividades ao ar livre em dias quentes quanto em ambientes internos.
