Which cooling towels do you recommend?

[fairytalelover]

I have never used one before but there are so many different kinds out there. Which are the best for Florida heat/humidity?

Frogg Toggs .... love them.

we read that they are too large and bulky. Do you find this to be true? Or is it not an issue?

Frogg Toggs for sure. They have a Yoga Towel that is long and slim like a scarf almost and you can drape it over the back of your neck and have it hang down the front to keep yourself cool!

Frogg Togg.

I use these when my son has football practice and games in the middle of summer (we live in Orlando) And I use them at the parks too.

We use Frogg Togg too. We cut them in half length wise so they fit perfectly around our necks.

You can cut them to the size you desire.

I've had a Frogg Togg for a couple of years now and it was better when it was new. I'm not sure if I've taken proper care of it though, so that could be my fault.

I like that it keeps the sun off my neck. I burn easily even with sunscreen.

I have an enduracool neck gator.....I like that it doesnt dry stiff like the frogg toggs. They also make towels, hats, headbands ect...here my DD was wearing it to cool a sunburn. We bought it at target in Orlando. It is an spf 50+ fabric.

Anyone have experiencewith the Mission brand?

I use Enduracool as well- the ones they used to advertise as Lowe's (although you can get them other places as well). I did buy a hat at Sport Authority, but they are closing their stores. I like all the different ways I can wear the scarf (even as a cap when I'm really overheated). I use one at work all the time.
I think Enduracool is made by Mission, but unsure if Mission makes others as well.

does the enduracool come with some kind of container so if I am not using it I can throw it in something and drop it in my purse?

I honestly don't remember. I usually wear mine at work, add more water when I leave if it's hot, and then hang it up when I get home. I think it came in a package- but it may have been cardboard. You can always use a ziplock. I not only move around a lot at work, but also have hot flashes, so some days I have to keep rewetting. Most days once will take care of it.

That's exactly what I do. I take a ziplock Baggie with me to the park and pour some ice water in it from a quick service restaurant then put the Frogg Toggs in there for a few minutes. The iced Frogg Togg feels soooo good in the heat!

I have severe hot flashes too. So that in conjunction with the heat of Florida at the parks drives me to find a good cooling towel

My husband just read a few reviews on amazon that said some people received their towels with mold already on them. Then some reviews said their towel got mold in them after a few uses.did you guys have any of those issues?

Yes, it comes in a plastic cylinder. Honestly, the container is very big. I usually just tie mine to my bag handle when I'm done using it and throw it inside once it's dry. It is a very thin fabric that can be folded to about the size of a handkerchief when dry.

Yep...our Frogg Toggs got really moldy and smelly.

No issues with the Mission Enduracool towels yet. Have had them over a year.
