Chill-Its Evaporative Cooling Towel, Gray, One Size

Right off the bat, if you haven't dealt with these PVA towels, know that they're different than a normal microfiber towel. Think of them like a really thin sponge. You have to squeeze them when adding water to make sure it's fully absorbed, and it gets really stiff when it's dry. These aren't actual problems, just something that makes them different. This difference, though, is why this towel type is superior. They're able to hold more water, so they won't dry out as fast. Also, even when it's soaked, it doesn't just sit there dripping everywhere like a standard towel. These towels aren't the same as being in an air conditioned room. It's not magic. It does, though, help keep you a little cooler when you have to be outside in the summer. It's definitely more effective in dry weather, but even when it's humid, it can still be beneficial.

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.

Here are my initial impressions of the Ergodyne Chill-Its 6602 Cooling Towel and some thoughts compared to two other cooling towels that I own, The Frogg Togg Chilly Pad ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TZ60V2/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3BFTJF7TA5CPX ) and the U-Cool towel ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010N02S56/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) My use case for this type of product are “long” walks outside in the Florida heat and humidity. My impressions of the other two .. I LOVE the Frogg Togg .. while it did fall to pieces after year of heavy use (parts of it … sort of flaked off to be exact) … it REALLY cools me off. The U-Cool I hate to mention since it was a gift from someone who thought it would 100% be as good as the Frogg Togg. The U-Cool well … for light indoor (but whats to say the air conditioning is not what is cooling you off) workouts in a gym … perhaps Its good … for my use case … it’s not NOW GETTING TO THE POINT OF THIS review, first I noticed even by the pictures, the Ergodyne is sort of (I cant say for sure material wise … I am using the “eye”/”feel” test ) like the Frogg Togg. The Chill-It that I ordered was not as LONG as the Frogg Togg, where I tuck it into my shirt, though it is wider. I did wear the Chill-It out on what seemed like a record setting day of heat and humidity and noting that it’s not as long (so it cools a little more) … I WAS cooled off, though this was a hard day to judge since it was SO humid (even for south Florida) …. The week prior there was a similar day, where the Frogg Togg which I LOVE didn’t “seem like it was working” though like the Ergodyne Chill-It, I KNOW it was,… it was just a super extreme day. Please note that in all three “cooling towel tests” I used COLD water (really cold) from a refrigerator. The fact that I got the Chill-It… .for a few dollars less than a Frogg Togg (which I am still in the market for), was even better. I would already put the Chill-it at least on par with the Frogg Togg, noting on a very hot but less extreme day, it may be 100% on par with it … right now I would put it at say 85% to 90% as good as the Frogg Togg and considering the other “cooling towel” I have tried … even 85% to 90% means “Two SOLID thumbs up” … and “I definitely recommend it”. Only time will tell if this product lasts, without falling apart like the Frogg Togg has been doing lately. To borrow the format of another reviewer. (Best to Worst out of the three I have tried) A) Frogg Togg – Maybe its because have had it the longest, and that extra length does help, though Ergodyne may have a longer towel too, I just didn’t get that one. B) Ergodyne – Hard to judge in my limited use. SO far the material and cooling effect with the same temperature water is …. well I said 85 to 90% before … actually it may be more 90 to 95% as good as the Frogg Togg.. .again so far C) The U-Cool … for some use cases where a light towel is desired it may not be bad, though … It just doesn’t work for me … “snapping it”, to activate the cooling does nothing but shake more water out, drying it faster… which defeats the point.

not what i expected, but is exactly as described. works well but comes out of the box with a weird smell. once i wash it a few more times i will update my review rating. pros: quality construction, cools very well, never stinks of sweat. cons: smells funny new, feels like a car shammy (rubbery type material) will update if that changes with use and washes. for whatever reason i was expecting something more soft and fabric like cloth. it is stiff new and i don't know if it softens after repeated washing and use. still a good size, quality constructed and DOES work. i hope to update my review soon and give it a 5 star.

Creo que en la descripcion deben especificar bien, que cuando se seca se pone, rigida como si fuese carton y la verdad no se ve muy bien.
