Mission Original Cooling Towel- Evaporative Cool Technology, Cools Instantly When Wet, UPF 50 Sun Protection, for Sports, Yoga, Golf, Gym, Neck, Workout, 10” x 33”

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.

There are other brands but don't be tempted, this is the one that works very well. Follow directions and snap it at the end, turn it over after a while. I have two and love em. Best buy for staying cool. I also like their Mission hat. Thanks for the great products. Hot in Missouri.

i lost my old 1 at gym --this 1 not as big as original i bought at walmart--work just like my old 1 -wiping sweart or wet it to have evaporative cooling.

These towels are very easy, don't mold and dry quickly

This is a big help in providing comfort for my wife hot flashes. I have purchased other brands, but none worked as well. Others are too thin and too long. This works well for this purpose. So far I have bought three of these.

I was hoping this item would be as good as the old one I have. Material is much thicker than original brand and it doesn’t cool off as it is advertised. I would not recommend it.

He was really grateful he has it. He works outside and he is always complaining how hot it is.I told him how to use, now I can’t get this off his neck 🤣

Love this product Mission really knows their stuff and their products are amazing..Got this towel for a friend suffering through the hot weather..I have chill towels and hats from Mission and this is a 5 star company.thanks

Great way to avoid overheating when hiking.

compre una en EU y no había podido encontrarla, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto

Mucho muy útil

Buena calidad y entrega rápida

I love this Mission Cooling Towel!!! Anyone that has a problem with the heat should have a least one of these and that's the truth. I'm 67 and have COPD and even the slightest excretion causes me to perspire to the point that I'll be soaked from head to toe in no time flat, this towel is a major help and again I sincerely recommend it for everyone.
