Ergodyne Chill Its 6700 Cooling Bandana, Evaporative Polymer Crystals For Cooling Relief, Tie For Adjustable Fit, 6-Pack

I bought these for my spouse to use at work. They kept him much cooler on hot days. Work great because his hands are free and he can wear them on his forehead or around his neck. Everyone at his workplace wanted some too.

Decided to try one out before packing for a trip. After two minutes of soaking the wrap failed, with gel leaking out at multiple points. It will get worse once it is tied and there is actual pressure on the seams, so this was a waste of time and money. There is zero sweat absorbency but the cool wet gel provides relief so long as the ambient humidity it low enough for the water in the wrap to evaporate. You will need to rotate the wrap so that a cooler section of material is next to the skin once it warms up. I suspect the gel will simply leach out after a few uses, so can't recommend this product.

So you put these limp looking things in a bowl of water. Don't just wet them. Put them in water and let them sit for a minute. They will soak up water until it looks like you shoved a mini pool noodle in there. Seriously thought they were missing their innards when I got them but NOPE. Just SOAK. Living here in Hellahot SC wishing I had these when I was in the military ... but I'm old. We didn't have fancy stuff then. Anyway. Buy these. Buy multiple sets. Give them to your friends. I got camo ones for my husband (who likes the colors black, camo and hunter safety orange, bless his heart) but I bet he'd rock these if they had rainbow glitter unicorns on them and be happy about it. I am telling you. These are LIFE.

When I say the material feels like fatigues I mean stiff and scratchy. All that said It does what it claims to do. I prefer the smoother and more filled neck wraps but these work just as well and may be more durable over time. these need to be tied unlike many that have plastic clasps. no sweat though.

These work incredibly well, and the SIX are MUCH less expensive than individual items costing around $7.00…highly recommended!
