MISSION Original Cooling Towel - Soft, Durable Microfiber - Cools Up to 2 Hours - UPF 50 Sun Protection - Machine Washable

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.

This literally saved me from having a heat stroke! I was out at a concert all day and had access to water. So I constantly re-wet it to keep me cool. It dries out fairly fast about every hour or so? But it does keep you cool and not flimsy like the mesh ones. For the cost it kind of evens out cause you can reuse this one as many times as you'd like.

Print is reason I bought, but pricier than all others which put me off for quite a while. Works well like all other cooling cloths. Have abt 3 or 4 Mission ones now, & tried 2 other brands. They all work, but Mission is the Best. Retains moisture longer. I walk 2-2.5 mi every morning weather permitting, & before I used these I might quit early when humidity was up which is most of summer. I would start to feel sick. Husband can't tolerate heat at all. & I make him walk at least 1 mile several times a week. These make a difference. He will not give me such a hard time. Great for gardening, mowing lawn, etc. also. Mission cloths are little thicker than others & stay damp longer. Plus I think they have own special material. Makes a difference. Worth investment imo. Highly recommend.

These cooling cloths are a must-have for gardening, outdoor sports and work outs. They cool instantly and continue to cool for a few hours and the size is just right. I live in Florida where the humidity is high, so they will surely need to be re-wetted more often in dry climates. They wash up easily and continue to cool as long as you don't put them in the dryer. I have bought many of these for gifts, as they have quickly become one of "my favorite things"!

Fantastic product, works as advertised.

Great product, I love the mission line for convenient cooling, just need access to water. But gave 3 stars because the "ALLOY HEATHER" is actually more of a green tint than a Grey. With no lighting it could pass for Grey, but mission should really fix the picture or the product. Photos from dry to wet.

Great product. Helped keep my husband cool during his 50 mile bike ride here in Florida.

Gift for son’s birthday, he was happy with this.

Works a treat!

Mucho muy útil

El producto cumple la función de enfriamiento para la temporada de calor sin mojar al usuario, asi como lo especifica el provvedor.. Recomendado. Revisen las medidas en de tamaño regular pero hay otras mejor tamaño y seria el ideal

Ein kleines Stück Mikrofaserstoff. Nichts sonst. Ohne jeden Sinn.

Great way to avoid overheating when hiking.
