Frio Cooling Headbands?

[SnowWtch]

Has anyone used this product? I'm trying to find something to make the heat a little more bearable. It seems the hotter I get the faster my heart rate goes. I can't even get it below 90 at rest now even though the cardiologist can find nothing wrong. I'd hate to have a problem at Disney so I was wondering if anyone has tried this product.

I haven't used them, but this is my secret weapon at Disney. It's a bit spendy, but it allowed me to do the parks last May-June, plus we use it at home for mowing, hiking, and at outdoor events. It's really changed my life when it's hot outside! We just carry a small collapsible cooler with the extra pack in a baggie with ice, and I'm good to go!

I just posted somewhere else about these: http://www.amazon.com/Silvo-Body-Cooling-Neck-Wrap/dp/B000934AYK I usually find them in the camping section of Walmart for about $2. I get enough for 2 per person and keep the extra in a small cooler with ice and switch them out as needed. We use them all the time in the summer for swim meets, outdoor activities and of course Disney trips.

The Kool Ties the previous poster showed work best in dry climates, though. My Grandma makes them for the solders stationed in Iraq, and they said that they work great over there. I tried them in Florida last year, and while they did cool us off a bit, I don't think they evaporated as well as they would have in a drier climate. But it was nice to carry them in a baggie with an ice pack and pull them out every once in awhile to help us cool off. OP, I hope you can find something that works for you!

Okay one quick question, can you put these in your checked luggage?

I had no problem with the Black Ice set in checked luggage to Florida and back, but I put them and all of the paperwork that came with them together in a large ziplock so that if it was suspicious the paperwork would explain exactly what it is!
