FROGG TOGGS Chilly Pad Instant Cooling Towel, Perfect for Use Anytime You Sweat, 33x13

Super refrescante! Ajuda muito quando muito calor!!!

My husband is a golfer and plays year-round here in Florida. Since it gets quite hot here in the summer, he has tried several products to help him stay cool. I first purchased a couple of different bandanna-type neck ties, with less than desirable results. The golf course pro-shop sells the Frogg Toggs cooling towel, but my husband didn't buy it because he thought it was too expensive. But when I saw that it was half-price through Amazon, I snapped it up. He has only used it once, but it seemed to work well, and the cooling properties last much longer than the bandanas. I was horrified when I washed it before use and it dried into a stiff, unusable product. But when I read the instructions, it said to keep it moist, so I re-wet it and folded it back into it's original container. I stored it in the refrigerator until needed, and he said it was cool and moist when he used it on the course. Good product.

I remember a friend who was wheelchair-bound recommended these to me. The first ones I bought were like shammy leathers - hard when dry but put them under the tap and they go soft AND HOLD THE WATER IN for maybe a couple of hours. Put round your neck and it is like having a cold towel that does not dry in the heat cooling you down. Tried to buy more recently and they seem not to sell them I think because they were made from something not so good like PVA. Tried the microfibre cooling towels but in comparison these were no good. Then I found this online and yes - back to that shammy-leathery stuff that really works. Can't recommend enough for a hot day.

I love this product although it arrived in PINK not purple. Ironically I wanted pink to match my wrist bands anyway so maybe the Amazon packer read my mind! The product itself is excellent. We get a lot of heat waves in the summer so this works great just to drape around your back and shoulders or chest and shoulders to help cool down. You can also wrap it around you legs, arms etc - anywhere that is feeling particularly hot. This might be beneficial for someone with a heat rash or hives as it soft, cool, wet and feels great on your skin. It comes in a plastic reusable sealed tube - you store it wet so it is ready to use whenever you need it as well as it travels well in a beach bag, backpack etc. After buying this through Amazon, I have since found this same brand/product in outdoor sports stores but was happy to see I saved a couple bucks buying it through Amazon! This would also make a great gift idea for someone athletic or who spends a lot of time in hot climates, work environments etc. It stays cool for hours - as it dries out, I either spritz mine with a water bottle to keep it moist or submerge for a minute in a sink/bowl of water. Washes nicely by hand with mild soap and water.

Giving this one star as it's not possible to give a review without a star. This item stays wet for hours, or at least damp. Thats about it. It is not cooling. Bought it for travel hoping to stay cool in hot weather and was dissapointed to discover that I handed over money for absolute rubbish. The saying, "if it seems too good to be true it usually is" comes to mind. Invest in a portable fan, your money will be better spent.
