The Original Cooling Scarf/Headband/Neck Wrap for Extreme Heat Relief (Pink)

I have another cooling neck wrap and it puffs up quite a lot and holds the cold for a long time. This Cool Tie did not puff up much and did not cool as well and only for a short time. I gave it 3 stars because it did do something if not much. I don't recommend it.

I gave this as a gift for a friend who lives in a very hot area. She loves it. I have used a similar product in the past and found it very good for keeping cool.

I've seen these types of cooling scarves before and thought it would be similar, but all this is is a cheaply made cloth scarf with a tiny bit of gel, and I dont even think the gel is cooling gel because it remained at room tempature even while inside the house at 73°. I kayak a lot, and have used several ways to cool myself. I thought this would be a smaller version of what I've been using. (Those larger cooling towel things.) So I was excited to try it. First thing I noticed was a lack of the gel crystals, but decided to wet it down with cold tap water and try it anyhows. sitting at my desk in an air conditioned house its only cooling relief came from the cloth being wet. Once that became body temperature the cooling wore off. I would say maybe 10-15 minutes. I felt for those few gel crystals and they were even room temp, not cool at all. How do they expect you to cool off if the gel crystals aren't even cool? If you need something to keep you cool on hot days, look else where.If you want a cheaply made scarf to wear around your neck, this is the item for you.Honest Review by someone who did NOT receive any discount on this item.

It really kept me cool while I did my mid - afternoon run in this Florida heat!

Keeps me cool on hot California days.
