KOOLGATOR Evaporative Cooling Neck Wrap, Deep Pink, 1 Pack

Out of the box its very deceiving. It APPEARS that there aren't enough beads in the product. If you follow the directions, the beads start to swell up, you adjust them and let them continue to soak up the water. I ended up with a perfectly round squishy , neck wrap that's wet It feels awesome around the neck. It is a COOLING neck wrap, not a product that will go down to 69 degrees. Once it doesn't feel cool I just rotate it and it feels cool again. After about 90 minutes I open a bottle of water and resoak it so it feels cooler. I could probably go two hours before I feel the need to resoak it. I was out in 90-100 degree temps on a parking lot for 8 hours. It worked for me.

Fabulous!! I have used them 2 yrs in a row working out in the heat for 10 consecutive hours at a country music festival. I would’ve been miserable without them.

Friends raved about this cooling neck wrap, so I expected more. I played 9 holes of golf with it around my neck. I'm not sure it would have offered cooling relief from the heat for 18 holes.

I now have a mixed reveiw. Some things I love about this. But other not so much. So, I have updaed my review. At First...I Wrote: love this Neck Cooling Wrap.... The cooling Beads truely fill up the wrap-band. Please note that when you receive this neck wrap it will look like there are very few beads. These beads WILL swell to fill the wrap. The neck band is rather long in length to fit a thick neck. I have a small neck so, the wrap does hang down my chest a little aways. I can move it to widen out to my shoulders or even hang the extra to the back. It stays in place real well. I dont mind this as the whole wrap has beads with cooling action. This wrap has a snap closure instead of long fabric ends to tie together. I like both kinds of closure. This snap wrap looks less like I am a boy scout, so I think this kind scores more for the none-camping look. I will have to see over time weather the snap will start failing or not. Now after 2 months of use.... Im not totally happy with it. The Snap stopped working. So, it slips around and falls off when I end over. I now safety pin it closed. I had another issue that was my fault. I left it in a ziplock bag for several days and it smelled horrible. It took 5 washes with liquid soap to get enough of the oder out so I could stand wearing it again. The other tie neckwarps have not soared like this in that same time frame. So I am disapointed a bit. But, now that I know I wont do that again. I do love the plumper amount of gell in this neck wrap. And that it does not have the extra tie cloth hanging onto my tops getting it wet down my chest. Yes, the neck of my tops do get damp with this one. When I take it off I put it in a plastic zip-bag and toss it in my purse. I have it ready and avallible anytime I need it. I went out shopping and started to over heat and grabbed it. I was not near any water and put it on without re-freshing it.... ahhh, relief. It had been over 18 hours since I re-freshed it with water and it still helped cool me. Note... Do not leave it in a ziplock bag for more then 24 hours... AND...Before packing it away for the winter, make sure the wrap is dried FULLY!!

The basic idea of a water-activated, reusable cooling method is a good one. Follow the directions and you will indeed get some cooling relief for a time. Unfortunately, the small neck wrap warms up quickly from body heat and and the cooling effect from the beads inside is quickly dissipated. Not useful beyond about 45 minutes in hot summer weather. In addition, this neck wrap gets VERY sweaty (and possibly dirt-covered) when wearing it to garden, mow, do other yardwork, sports, etc. You really need to be able to handwash such a thing; who wants a sweaty/crusty neckerchief? The only problem is that the neck wrap this takes DAYS if not WEEKS to dry out after being handwashed washed and hung up. You don't really want to store it away when wet, so the only recourse is to leave these damp, floppy tubes hanging over a towel rod or over a doorknob (or on a drying rack in front of a fan) until they are dry enough to put away. (Rather unsightly.) I think your best bet-- rather than purchasing this item-- is a cooling ice-pack style neck wrap that you can hand wash-- one that dries quickly and can be kept in the fridge or freezer between uses. This is the solution I eventually went for; it lasts longer and is far more effective and practical.

Used these recently at Disney. Packed them in a ziplock with a frozen water bottle. As the ice melted, we could recharge the cool. So much more convenient than the fans we took and incidentally great for a hurt knee too! Highly recommended.

This works great. It even has a snap closure. My husband works out in direct sun and really notices a difference. Very cool!!

Liked it at first but I had it in the jeep for when the top was off and just went to check it after a few weeks while I was recovering from surgery ( couldn’t drive) and all the things that are inside are gone. It’s limp and almost completely empty

These help prevent overheating while exercising outdoors in hot temperatures. Ideal for cycling and hiking, work outdoors. They retain coolness for quite a long time, and once activated (submerge in cool water, cool in the fridge 3 minutes or so), they are easy to refresh with cool water on the trails (I pack ice water and have a lightweight collapsible-bowl handy). if you work construction, can swap out from you’re cooler. Although Camo often carries a masculine vibe, for us “earth goddesses”, it pairs nicely with neutrals and earth-blending clothing tones— hiker-friendly. Keeping the neck cool also has some excellent stress-reducing benefits, e.g. preparing for exams, coping with adrenaline surges, lunch-time workout, etc.

This is great on a hot day on the golf course

Works good and like how it has a snap button to keep it secured .

Keeps overall temperature cool - used it in 45degrees heat - really helped make that small difference from unbearable heat to bearable heat outdoors

Amazing fit perfectly under the welding helmet
