COLD FACTOR Instant Cooling Towel - Sports Cooling Towel with UPF 50+ and Reflective Protection - Moisture Wicking, Chemical-Free Evaporative Cooling for Hot Weather, Runners & Athlete (Lime, 1 Pack)

When wet doesn't drip over everything.

I bought this cooling towel for the uv protection and the evaporative cooling factor. I made a sleeve for my arm that always burns up when I’m driving and this works great for that purpose.

taking with me on a florida trip, will update once used...so far it seems like it'll work

These do work ok, not great. I thought they would stay cooler longer. But they do help.

This is a great cooling towel that does help in the heat. My stress test was a 40 mile bicycle ride in the late afternoon heat. I'm more susceptible to the heat than I used to be and a couple of days earlier I cut a ride short because of the heat. On this day, I decided I really needed to use this towel and see how much help it could give me. I soaked the towel in water and put it around my neck and tucked the ends into the front of my jersey. I could feel the water dripping off the towel into my jersey and it was very cool. My route was an out and back with rolling hills, some shady tree lined sections but also some flat, fully exposed sunny stretches. The temperature on the bike was 95F and climbing going out and I had some 103F readings in the exposed sunny parts. After the initial dripping, the towel still felt cool and wet but my jersey was completely dry despite my sweating. Even with 103F, I didn't feel as bad or drained as I'd felt a couple of days earlier. After 45 minutes the towel was still damp and cool but I was passing through a park and took the opportunity to soak the towel again at a fountain and I was back to being super cooled again for a bit. At the halfway point I soaked the towel again and the ride back was about an hour and a half with the temperature starting to drop. By the end, the temperature in the shade was finally down to about 85F and the towel still felt damp and cool on me when I squeezed it. Not as cool as when I first soaked it but still doing some work and I never felt overheated. This towel was large but light and held its moisture for a long time. It definitely helped keep me cool during a long exercise.

Where I live is scorching in the summer. Even going out for five minutes to garden can result in sunburn. I have several of these microfiber towels. Dunk them in cool water and place them around your neck or inside your hat. The Cold Factor Instant Cooling Microfiber Towel is a quick-drying, fast cooling, UPF 50 towel, that also reflects light for safety. It wicks up sweat nicely. On average, instant cooling towels such as these will shave off 30-35 degrees from your body temperature. This equates to around 65 degrees to the touch, which will feel cool and refreshing on a hot desert day. The towel stays cool for up to two hours, making it great for a round of golf, soccer game, or other outdoor activity. These are nice to have when cycling, camping, or hiking too,

I absolutely love this thing. So versatile and lightweight. Can easily stuff in my fanny pack or a pocket. Wet with anything... water bottle, lake etc and it really does feel cold! Great to wrap around your neck, rub on your arms or around your head to cool down. Mom's dog likes it too...i wring it out on her. Continues to feel cool as long as it's wet. Easy clean as well

This isn’t the end-all be-all of cooling experiences, but it certainly helps. I wish it were less thin or lasted longer, but I haven’t tried putting it in the freezer yet. Just cold tap water works pretty well.
