Cooling Towel for Neck & Face - XL Blue Chilly Pad Wet Towel for Sports, Keeps You Cool

I bought this towel a month or two ago, but wanted to put some good uses on it before I reviewed it. I've taken it to multiple indoor workout classes, hiking a couple times and horseback riding once on rather hot days. I don't really perceive the extra cooling properties it claims to have over regular fabric type objects, but then I never do with these types of items, despite trying a few different kinds. However, it does cool when wet, so I still say it performs as advertised. I tend to get overheated very easily, and this towel does keep me cooler than no towel or a dry towel, and at least as cool as any other wet towel would. However, even if it works only exactly as well as any other wet towel, I prefer this one for a few reasons. Its long rectangular shape is super handy. I can wrap it around my neck and tie it loosely so it will stay, or drape it so it goes down onto my chest (or down my back if I wouldn't feel like I was choking if I did that). I can put it over my head and also cool my cheeks and neck. Very versatile. Also, it's thinner and lighter than, say, a terrycloth towel of the same dimensions would be, yet still retains the moisture for at least as long, maybe longer. In the indoor workout classes, there wasn't much of a breeze, so it didn't feel as cooling as it did in my outdoor activities, but was still much better than a dry towel or no towel at all, and was a welcome relief to wrap it around my face during brief breaks. For hiking, it was great--I wet it in a creek, and it stayed damp a long time. I switched up between having it around my neck, draped over my head and down the sides, or tied around the top of my head. For horseback riding, I draped it over my head before putting my helmet on over it. I was doing quite a bit of trotting (8-ish miles an hour or so), and there was a dry hot breeze, so it dried out rather fast. It didn't become any more uncomfortable than just my helmet, but also wasn't helping any more at that point, so I removed it. Would've been nice to have a creek nearby to re-wet it, or I guess I could've sacrificed water from my bottles, but it was nearing dusk so I didn't bother. Excellent product, love the color selection, and the only improvement I can think of would be to add a grommet to the towel so the free carabiner that's included could be used on the towel itself, and not just the plastic envelope it comes in.

Love this product! Brought smaller ones last year which are great but wanted something that I could wrap around myself to cool me down or lay on top of myself. Brought 6 for my family and have just ordered another 7 for friends. Comes in a handy waterproof bag. Love demonstrating them for the first time on people who can't believe how icy they feel. Their faces are priceless! :)

Good packing but nothing special about the Rakhi considering the cost

This did exactly what I wanted it to - helped to keep my cool on a recent trip to the outback. And my husband even liked it. I would recommend this towel.

This brings welcome relief to sleep during heatwaves if you don’t have air conditioning. Wet the towel with cold water, wring it and lay it on your body.
