Nomadix  Ice Bandana

This bandana is amazing. It holds so much ice and really does help me feel cooler on hot days! The only small issue is that the melt water seeps through the fabric as the ice melts. This could be desirable sometimes (e.g. when hiking or biking or otherwise really exerting yourself on a hot day) but not so desirable other times (e.g. when commuting to work/the office). No big deal, though—I just put the ice in a ziploc bag before putting it into the bandana when I want to stay dry. It works just as well but without the mess. Problem solved!

Love this ice bandana! Great design, works perfectly and even doubles up as a secret pouch to carry ID and cash then exploring.

Having severe heat sensitivity, I appreciate that I can jam a ton of ice in this and be out in hot weather much more comfortably. It’s fabric so the ice will melt and get your shirt wet, so it’s something to keep in mind, but for hiking, gardening, walking the dogs, etc it’s not a big deal for me. Once the ice fully melts it still stays cool for a long time. Great tool to have if you have heat sensitivity.

I was so excited to see this when it was advertised online- I work outside in Florida in the heat all day, and the cooling cloths and heat gear don’t last very long. This is genius. It’s made of microsuede so it’s really soft. Putting the ice in a small ziplock snack bag keeps it from drenching your shirt. Please make in other lighter colors!

This is basically a triangle shaped microfiber pouch, when you put ice in it, it looks bulky. It doesn’t look like a bandana when there’s ice, it looks like a pouch with ice. It doesn’t seem to keep the cold or wetness for very long, for example I went for a walk with my brother who wore the frogg toggs towel and his was still wet by the time my entire tray of ice had melted and the rag was basically just a little damp. The water basically drips down the bottom V portion of the bandana which makes it so that your chest or your back are really the big ones getting cooled and soaked, not so much your neck which is where you have the most exposed arteries. I would say if you are someone of the gothic persuasion like I am, this can be nice but after using this I think a wet bandana is more comfortable than this.

The material is very soft, well made. I look forward to using this.

I work outdoors in consistent 80-90 degree F temperatures. This bandana has been a fantastic addition to my heat/sun protection. I typically put this around my head or neck and it helps significantly to keep me cool. The Ice Bandana is also great for hiking. I recommend not filling it with ice completely. You could probably pack 2 pounds of ice inside because the entire bandana is hollow. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in a warm climate, this is definitely worth the purchase.

I preordered two of these during annual sales, but they are never shipped, which is 3 weeks ago. If I reorder them now, the online system said they will arrive within 5 days.

Definitely keeps you cool, but the only downside was that it soaked my shirt. Will definitely be trying a ziplock bag of ice next time and also damping it and putting it in the freezer! We live in vegas, so our shirts were soaked after 10 minutes lol.
