Helps on warm days
I live in Arizona and this has been very helpful in the heat. I wet it and put it in a plastic baggie over night in the refrigerator.
Cooling towels
They were perfect for keeping my granddaughters cool during their softball and soccer games.
Overpriced Microfiber Towel
This is basically an overpriced microfiber towel with no apparent special properties. You wet it. It dries while evaporating. It provides some (but not much) cooling effect. Underwhelming.
Overpriced Dish Towel
This is basically a small, thin, overpriced towel with no apparent special properties or benefits that would justify the price. A wet dishtowel on the back of the neck or on the head provides equal cooling. It is soft and lightweight and most closely resembles a microfiber cloth used for drying a washed car.
Great for hot school days!
I pack this (wet and wrung) cooling towel in my daughter’s lunch box almost everyday when the temp is 85 and up. I pack it in a sandwich ziplock bag with a little frozen ice pack of it’s own. She says that it keeps her cool for the full lunch period. Her friends began asking her to use it sometimes so I bought some for them. Very useful! I highly recommend it. Washes well. Dries quickly enough to be ready in the morning.
