We were very happy with our Mission cooling cloths

We bought numerous cooling cloths before our trip to Disneyland last week when we realized that it was going to be over 100 degrees. It ended up being 115 degrees! We were very happy with our Mission cooling cloths. They got cold. They stayed cold for quite a while. When they became warm, we took it off and popped it a few times and it was cold again instantly. We did need to add water to it a couple of times, because it dried out in the 115 degree heat. It drapes week around your neck, wrist, and every other place we put it very well. It is light weight. We liked it so much that we went out and bought 2 more! They were more expensive and we believe a couple of inches shorter than the one I bought on Amazon, but still excellent. I will be buying more of these as gifts in the future. It really was a lifesaver.

It works great for backpacking and is light.

It works great for backpacking and is light. Works better than the Frogtog. DH went backpacking 26 miles in 80-90 degree heat and kept him cool. Also, a duel purpose on the trail, son's girlfriend used it to tie up long hair to get it off her neck from overheating. Worked great.

Keeping it cool!

So I have what is probably called "erythromelalgia" - intense flares of like burning in hands and feet. At times particularly in hot weather my hands and feet feel like they are burning or boiling. It is quite a pain to manage my flareups- but with this towel, things have been almost magical. Once you soak the towel and then wring it a bit, the towel brings down the temp in my hands quite a bit and alleviates that burning sensation. Thank you Enduracool! It is priced not too badly at around $10/11 - a bit more expensive than a terry cloth - but the quality and convenience is definitely worth it! It also works wonders for keeping me cool during the summer heat when working out. Great product!

Nice cool towels

I don't know how they do it, but this towel was nice and cool when the temperature outside was in the 80's. I don't understand the technology, but I know I'll be using these towels for many years. I use these towels under my helmet when I'm bicycling. This works 10 times better than the bandanas I typically buy. I was going back and fourth about getting a larger towel since I use it as a headband under my bicycle helmet. Due to the size of the towel, it doesn't tie very well in the back. I should have just got the larger size! These towels are very thin, and can fold up well under a helmet. So don't worry about the bulk. I would still give it 5 stars just for the technology alone.

Pretty good gym towel

Has a softer feel than other mission towels but still sturdy enough. Use it as a small gym towel and wrap it around my neck when I go mountain biking. Bottom line it's pretty good, solid stitching. Doesn't look or feel cheap and the print looks good. Does feel cool when you sweat or if you wet it alil.

Summer must have

Strangely, it works. Camping for a week in 90+ degree + humidity weather continual sweating and this towel really took the edge off. I wrapped it around my neck, where it dripped, a bit messily, but it kept my elder body temp down to endurable levels. Every couple of hours I'd get to a water source and recharge it according to direction--and, of course, added to my own internal water supply. A great addition to my summer survival "tool kit"

great for a hot day!

I am 6 months pregnant and wore this to Disney world. It kept me cool all afternoon. Be sure to wring out the water to where it barely feels damp. I think the point of the "snapping" is to shed excess water to take advantage of the evaporative cooling effect. Too wet and it won't help you. You will notice when the towel is too dry because it wont feel cool to the touch anymore.

I bought two different brands because I wanted one that was camo and this brand doesn't have that option and I received the other ones first and they worked great so I was hoping these were going to work ...

I use these when I'm cleaning carpets and I have to say, these work really well! I bought two different brands because I wanted one that was camo and this brand doesn't have that option and I received the other ones first and they worked great so I was hoping these were going to work just as well and they do! Just make sure you wring out the excess water before popping. It doesn't even make my shirt wet after sittiing around my neck for half an hour! Love these!

He was very pleased and said it is as awesome as the description ...

Ordered for my son and he advised he was leery that a workout rag could be anything special. He was very pleased and said it is as awesome as the description states.

mission towels get 5 stars

I doubt I'll ever own another brand of cooling towel. Others can try, but will fall short. Do note, the Techknit material is a thinner, more meshy material when compared to your standard Mission towel. Know the difference and buy appropriately. Gave the Aztec Mint as a gift and was well received. The colors are vibrant and pattern crisp. Awesome towel.
