SukeenCooling Towel(40"x12") Sweat Towel Cold Towel for Neck&Head,Soft Breathable Chilly Towel for Yoga, Golf, Gym, Camping, Running, Workout & More Activities

How much the cooling effect is down to the material is up for debates (or laboratory tests). If you soak it in water, squeeze out excess water, what is left is a damp piece of cloth. This will either be hot if we used hot water to soak it (not a good idea), or it will be cold / cool since that's the temperature water used for soaking. That's the first part.The part is as you use it, how is the "cool" maintained? I have used this over a 6-hour walk with various stops in between. I used one towel for about 5 hours. It was outdoor, countryside / beach walk, so it was not that hot, about 24-25C, but cloudy with some direct sun. The towel remained damp for about 2.5 hours, and the remaining of the 5 hours, it didn't not get warm. Yes, I have stretched it several times, and each time, there was more coolness. For the last hour, I switched to another towel, that had been in the pouch, already damp. It remained damp from the pouch. And the coolness was good.Anything that is relatively lower temperature to the body will likely result in us feeling cool, our brain might pick up such a signal so the result is a damp cloth give us coolness. It's probably that this kind of towel (and material) prolongs the coolness, or prolongs the dampness that then maintains the coolness, that gives this characteristic.There is a level of "expectation" that it gives us coolness, that's psychology I suppose. There is probably enough of comparison between a "normal" towel, and this towel, being treated in the same way, and which hold holds dampness longer, and therefore gives coolness longer.For me, I will use this on the basis that the material is light. In a way, using a normal towel and wet it, will be a rather odd thing to do when it looks more like a person with a bath towel around his neck. I have used it several times in door, and the coolness last about 2.5 hours.I have not used in bright hot direct sun light, but I have so far used it once in a gym session. From that gym session, I came away thinking I had much less sweat than using a normal towel, by about 20%.Since these towels cost about the same (or lower) as a "normal" towel at comparable size dimension, it's another reason that this is a better choice. It is far lighter and thinner. On top of all that, the colours are bonus.I will use these fairly regularly so might have updates in a few weeks.

I like that these come in their own sealable pouch with a clip to attach to your bag etc and I like the colour options. They are a good size: long enough to put over your head or around your neck without them slipping off. They work well if you wrap ice cubes in them but if you use anything less than ice cold water they are not as refreshing as other, similar products I have used in the past.

Product arrived on time. Looks like description and picture. I have purchased for a Disney Florida holiday for my husband, children and me, so will have to wait and see if they work whilst we are queuing. I am looking forward to using them. The quality is very good.

Great value for money and cools you down well. Highly recommended.

Bought these for holiday, they were great really useful on those hot days

Brilliant for holidays

It does exactly what it says it does. I’ve no idea how or why but it does. Used at festival in very hot weather and was fab

Absolutely brilliant, visited numerous cities with my 2 children around the Med in 30 + degrees, could not have done it without these. Kept cool for ages, then just add water again, give it a flap and wrap it around your neck.
