FROGG TOGGS Chilly Sport Cooling Neck Wrap & Head Band

I first ordered something else before a friend recommended this one. Wow wow wow!! Night an day! I absolutely love this. I walk/hike 4-5 miles a day on the sun in Southern California hot and with this, it's no problem. There are a few tricks to happy use though: 1) Before first use: be sure to use mild detergent (I used my soap) and cool water to completely thoroughly wash this. It will let a lot of color out. 2) When you went it for use on longer endurance trips, be sure to not squeeze it out. I made the mistake the first time and squeezed it out as much as possible. That way it definitely won't get you wet, but it will start drying out (on the sun) within 30 minutes and in 1 hour it will be bone dry 3) When I say "bone dry" I mean it. The material gets extremely "hard dry" where I feel like it will break (it doesn't) if I bend it. Very interesting material 4) The instructions recommend you keep the towel in the little container it came in. I think that's impossible to do with reasonable human skills, so I use a sandwich ziploc bag, which is perfect. 5) Instead of keeping it moist between use, I keep it dry. This prevents anything nasty from growing on it if it can--not sure because of the unusual material 6) When properly wet, the material has an almost gummy feel to it. I am on a hunt now for the same thing as a head band--if such exists--and wrist bands. This is probably the best thing that could have happened to endurance sports in hot climate! Edit: I have had this now for nearly a year. I kept it in a zipped up plastic bag in my fanny pack and completely forgot about it until today, when the first really hot day hit. I took it out of the bag, it was still wet from my last use nearly a year ago, but I added a bit more water from my bottle and off I went hiking in the heat. If there was a chance to give more than 5 stars, I would! The product is indestructible, comfortable, and stays freezing cold for at least 1.5 hours on the blazing Southern California sun. Fantastic!

I live in Southern Indiana, Land of Heat and Humidity, and keeping cool is a real challenge. I had bought other cooling towels, but they dripped and lost their chill quickly, so I decided to give the Frogg Toggs a try. It is amazing. It isn't cloth, it is a rubbery spongy feel. Wet it, wring it out and drape it around your neck, and feel the chill. My house doesn't have AC, but with this product I stay comfortable with just a fan. I love it for work too. My job is very physical and it is very easy to get overheated. I wet one of these at the beginning of my shift and rewet it at break, and I am able to make it thru with no sweat. If you do anything where getting overheated is an issue, I highly recommend this product

Product works great for shielding neck from the hot sun and helps keep you cooler.

As long as I kept it wet, the cooling towel worked well, but it became rigid as it dried. This made it less convenient to use, because I would have to saturate it with water just to be able to fold it. It also seemed as though, once dry, it took A LOT of water to make the towel usable again, but that is just an impression; I don't have cubic water-volume measurements to back up my opinion. But I think it's worth mentioning because having to use more water on the product will reduce its value for the money.

Great product! Used for Disney trip and for my son’s garden center job during the hot summer days. Easy to wring out to get just the right amount of dampness, many colors to choose from and comfortable to wear.

works great lasts long

So it does what it supposed to, it stays cool for about an hour. But what I was not aware of with that it will adhere and glue itself to many surfaces as it dries. So while drying, I tossed it over the back of a chair, slightly damp. The thing dried and stuck itself to the back of the chair. I remoistened it but when I pried it off, it ripped giant chunks out of the towel, luckily it didn’t damage the chair but be aware that it does this. So the next time we tried putting it over a hanger and having a dry that way, what do you know, it affixed itself to the hanger and again ripped chunks out.

I need to preface my review by saying I live in a very hot, very dry climate, so if you have high humidity, your experience with this product may be completely different than mine. I walked into a doctor's office recently wearing a nice pink maxi dress and my pink Frogg Togg scarf around my neck, tucked nicely into my pink cami sport bra. I got wonderful compliments on it and when I whispered to the ladies "it's actually a hot flash scarf, feel how cold it is", they flipped out! Everyone wanted the info on it. I still get compliments on my "outfit" from strangers who have no idea it's a damp sports towel. You do have to fuss with it a bit to make it look "chic" though, haha. It's thick and rubbery and has a funky texture on one side. It has saved me from hot flashes and most recently, a near-fainting spell from the heat when I ran an errand in triple digit weather last week. It feels nice and cold on the nape of my neck, and if I tuck it down into my bra it helps cool me considerably. It also feels good on the legs and arms. If you are not concerned about looks, I'd buy an additional Frogg Togg in a larger size... much more cooling effect, but those do look like towels stuffed in your shirt. These wash nicely in the washing machine. Don't put them in the dryer. The instructions say you can use chlorine bleach but the color may fade. I haven't had the need to try. The directions say to keep them in the fridge in their original container, dampened, but if you aren't going to use them within a week I'd hang it up every time to dry because my larger one got little black mildew spots on it. Machine washing took the smell right out even though the spots remained, so I pulled my other ones out of the fridge and washed them. In conclusion, I like the "scarf style" very much for looks and cooling. If you need real cooling, you need to get the bigger one.

Para el calor

This is an amazing towel. I have MS and have trouble regulating my body temperature but this towel is brilliant. I took it to SE Asia for holidays and it was fantastic. I'll be buying more for gifts.

Holds a nice cool temp, wrings out quite well so it's not soaking wet but offers a cool moist texture. Hardens when dry- feels a bit odd but easy to wet and reuse. Quality and quick shipping.

I wore this in the Sahara for a Marathon Des Sables event where temps reached 48C - this product is essential!

Someone told me about the frogg toggs and how well they work. Boy do they!! They do the job of keeping you cool without leaving your clothes soaked. Worth the buy!!
