  • but this is just exponentially better. First off
Color: Mission Blue
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. ... show more

  • Work as advertized
These cooling cloths are a must-have for gardening, outdoor sports and work outs. They cool instantly and continue to cool for a few hours and the size is just right. I live in Florida where the humidity is high, so they will surely need to be re-wetted more often in dry climates. They wash up easily and continue to cool as long as you don't put them in the dryer. I have bought many of these for gifts, as they have quickly become one of "my favorite things"! ... show more

  • Nice Surprise!
Color: Twist & Shout Honey Dew
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! ... show more

  • Mission Towels are Great!
Color: Twist & Shout Honey Dew
These are terrific! I have used Mission cooling towels for years. I have become intolerant of temperatures in the 90F+. We went with a group of friends to Mexico and I was concerned about high heat so I ordered one for each person! They really work! They do dry out, not quickly but I use them for hours at a time. I soak it really well and put extra water in a pint sized baggie so I can rewet it if needed. I rinse them out, twist out all the water and hang them up. In my world they are perfect!!! ... show more

  • Preventive Measure Against Excessive Heat - Summer Safety
The towel certainly works as described, and even on a humid day is cooling to at least some degree. I did a little research on fabric-cooling technology in general and learned that "infrared fabrics" are transparent to infrared rays and do not trap body heat. Add some water for evaporative cooling, and you have a product which does indeed feel cool; less so when it's humid, but nonetheless effective. This is made of UVF fabric. I own several UVF garments. All are dense, tightly woven fabrics, which makes sense as this characteristic blocks the sun. Therefore, they tend to be fabrics which are warm to wear. This is somewhere between a bath and hand towel in size, so the UVF won't make you feel warm. But at 12x33 inches, it won't cover much skin, either. I also found this size has many limitations, such as being difficult to tie around one's head. I can tie it, but it's a struggle because of the thick fabric, which I must fold into quarters length-wise so as not to turn it into a blindfold. The only way I find convenient is to wrap it around my neck. And the fabric and selvages are quite scratchy. Finally, in the interest of the customer, I'll add that I bought this in pink. Yes, I do like pink, but that's not why I bought it in pink. I was going to get purple, but it was twice the price. Yes, color premium pricing comes into play. I find this a great disservice to consumers, though it is not limited to this product or brand. I will look for more cooling fabric products in the future, because let's face it. I'm one hot mama. ... show more
