ErgodyneChill-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.

Brilliant towel! This is the second one I have bought as the first got lost at school. Works well for a child with heat issues and Autism. It helps him cool down and calm down. Have suggested it to a lady (of a certain age) to try it for her unbearable flushes. When out you can drape it around your neck and its not imposing.. Dont understand why other sellers are charging so much! Came quickly and Im telling everyone about them,its made life alot easier and the school said it works well for this child.

Worked great! Kept me cool in Florida summer heat at sea world!!!

Purchased 26 July 2019. I rate the towel 4-star based on that I have only used twice, but impressed with how long it last (cooling). Compared to the other cooling towel I have this one is amazing. I live in Mississippi. I cut 2 acres of grass yesterday, trimmed with a push mower. The heat index was a 107%. I broke a little sweat trimining. While cutting grass with riding mower I noticed how cool the towel felt on my neck and shoulders. When I got though cutting I was not hot like I usally feel after cutting. The towel does dry hard but when you wet it again it is very flexable. It's big enuff to fit inside a shirt and wrap around your neck, and long enuff to lay on your chest to some degee. After using the towel two times I was very impressed how good it cools and "how long" it last. It takes me about 2:20 mins to cut my yard. The towel was still wet when I finished. Previous week I cut 4 acres at my church. Stayed cool the entire time. Towel started to dry out towards th end---simple to restore by wetting again. I did not snap or swirl the towel the times I have used it but noticed how cool the towel felt when put it around my neck but will next time: did not know you were suppose to. Since I do not use it everyday, I hand rinse it and let it dry flat or hang on a clothes hanger. Have to say it is the best towel I have every used that last a long time (cool to the skin). I have suggested to other friends that complained their towels do not last long---provide cooling relifef. Does a great job.

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.
