MISSION Original Cooling Towel - Soft, Durable Microfiber - Cools Up to 2 Hours - UPF 50 Sun Protection - Machine Washable

Great product. Helped keep my husband cool during his 50 mile bike ride here in Florida.

I have had heat sickness incidents for years. No matter how prepared, nor how much effort I put in to making sure I was okay, pales in comparison to what I have needed to do in order to ensure I did not overheat. I have to be hyper vigilant when it comes to watching my diet as I do not eat a lot of salt so I get enough electrolytes on a regular basis otherwise it is another trip to the Emergency room. I have ordered a side of bacon for lunch in the past just to ensure I drink tons of water afterwards. As it is, I drink nearly a gallon of water a day.I have seen this product for a while now, but never in use, much less any place where I could try it out. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I ordered it and have been using it ever since. I am so grateful for this towel! I have a similar product from a different very reputable company, but this is just exponentially better.First off, I like the color. For whatever reason people do not assume I have been injured when wearing it, unlike the other product.Secondly, you have to wet this product and then use it whereas the other product relies on moisture on the surface of our skin. Because I have had so many problems with heat sickness in general, I can get sick in temperatures as low as the low-mid 70s. I have been so over heated and feeling poorly that I have an 8 hour ice pack that I freeze, and would bring to bed with me. I would literally hug the ice pack so I could cool off and sleep. The towel keeps me cooler, not as cold as hugging an ice pack, but definitely cooler than sleeping without it.Lastly, I cannot say it lasts 8 hours like my ice pack, but I can absolutely say it lasts for several hours. This is a definite benefit because all I have to do is wet it and it starts cooling me off. With the other product, cooling off has been harder for me to achieve simply because I have not had any moisture to cool myself off with to kickstart the wrap.Here is a snapshot of my real world experience with this towel:Around 3pm earlier today, I had to go to a store and pick something up. I was in the store for less than 5 minutes but the temperature was still rising. When I got back to to my car, the temp gauge on my rear view mirror said it was only 93 which is a hot day, but certainly not an anomaly. I was not feeling well and there wasn't any perspiration I could use to wet a towel. Fortunately, I was able to go to a drive through restaurant, get a cup of cold ice water, soaked my towel a bit and was cool enough to make it home. The towel is made from a special fabric which has been repels water so soaking it or running it under cold water isn't going to really cause this to soak up a bunch of water. In spite of the challenge in getting it wet, I was still able to benefit from it whereas I would not have been able to benefit at all with the competitor's product. I have no problem in recommending this product to others even if they do not have issues with heat.I am in the process of looking at what other products are available from Mission Athletecare because the temperature inside my bedroom has been hot enough at times to cause my electronic devices behave strangely, lose files on my computers, and ultimately cause them to shut down. A computer can be replaced, an overheated Windedhiker, cannot.

The media could not be loaded. I honestly didn’t know what to think when I ordered this cooling towel. I have used several similar products with not much success.What a surprise this was getting cool and staying cool without being wet in my neck!The initial picture didn’t show what the back side color of this would be, which was a downside for me seeing it’s actually light pink on the back and I’m definitely not a fan of pink. All in all though it’s a good product. Will definitely use this during the summer months!

These worked amazing in 95deg heat !!

Cools when wet. Really helped working outside during the 110 days.

Is it better than a wet towel? Debatable.Do I like it enough to keep it and use it frequently? Yes.Soft material that has a nice pattern. The underside of mine is pink. I didn’t realize that upon purchase. I like it. Others may not.It’s a little small. But lightweight. Trade off.Stays somewhat cool for a long enough of a time to be useful. Dry climate friendly. Or rather, this thing is pretty much only made for places where it can evaporate easily.I was disappointed at how fast it drys out; not two hours of full cool. I’ll get a wet bag for it when on the go. It should have come with one.

Best all around cooling towel!!!

Just what I needed for the golf course. Keep it in the ice box and pull it out every hole or two to stay cool
