Perhaps the reporter did not know she has to shake the towel in order to activate the towel to get cool. Repeat this process when the towel warms up from the body heat. I have few of them that I got from Target for $5 each, they work great!
Im using one if these right now, I have anxiety issues and find it comforting. I strongly dissagree with this, as I usually start it off with warm water, and it becomes cool within a few minutes. (constantly changing my temperature when im having an attack helps immensely) Ive done it even from my hottest tap water, and it still gets much colder than luke warm in less than 5 minutes. Worth the money hands down. I usually dont fully ring it out, and if it starts warming up all you have to do is ball it up and give it a squeeze (the water in the parts hanging and not directly touching your neck will be much colder) and recycle the water
I just bought a set of them, but not this brand. I never had one before, but a person showed me how you wet it, squeeze it out and shake it three or four times, and then he had me feel it. I was shocked. Like it just came out of the refrigerator. So I am using it, as the weather here in Florida is getting warm, as it's March 26. I worked in the yard, and found that if I wrap it around my neck it doesn't work as well, and the ends will make your shirt wet. It only felt good for about 15 minutes. So I wet it again and shook it, and wrapped it around my forehead, tying it in the back. MUCH better. The cold ends hang down the back of my heat, and even through my hair I can feel the cold. I never got hot mowing the grass, and it was around 84 degrees. I still have it on, and I have not had to turn the a/c on sitting here, although the inside temp is 78, which normally is too hot. I have been totally comfortable. The reason I got these, along with a cold gel baseball cap, is because the a/c in my car died, and it's like an oven in there. So, I'm figuring out how to stay cool in my car. I also got a gel mat which also goes in the freezer, along with the cap. I tried the cap today, and I got brain freeze. It was uncomfortable, and I took it off. I put it back on, but had to reposition it. I think maybe the cap would do better in the refrigerator, as it was downright painful. But I love these cloths! Get some. You won't regret it. And don't forget to shake 'em!
Reporter Might be correct about the immediate cost of the cooling towel, but here’s what she didn’t say: cooling towel only needs to be wet with mildly cool water to provide advantage, where as a cloth needs cold water, so now there’s significant cost and logistics of how to obtain ice water once cloth loses cooling effect. If you are taking this for a long day in the field where it is impossible to obtain cold water or ice in which to dunk a cloth, the cooling towel provides significant advantage over a cloth in both cost and logistics. If you are just sitting at home or in the backyard, then maybe any old cloth will do. The cooling towel is an initially higher investment, but that cost is recouped over time. Not much critical thinking in this review.
Nope i used while in vegas and it helped tremendously... once it isnt as cool as you would like all you do is take it off and give it a snap... if it isnt dry it will rejuvenate its cooling properties... also if you just drape it over your head it feels like you have AC around your head and face... thats because its allows the air to move thru it... the air cools as it passes thru... a regular towel will not...
I only just discovered these and got one a couple days ago from Amazon. Already in love with it. I put it on this afternoon while working on the garden and I never felt warm. Then tonight I was feeling a bit ick and so laid down when bed and put it across my face. Love that, like you said, it's totally breathable so you can do that.
There is a very specific factor missing here: user error. You have to utilize air movements to re-cool (dissipate) the towel. The movement of air, for example, fanning the towel, will allow the towel to release the latent heat into the atmosphere. The towel becomes cool again instantly.
I respectfully disagree with what she said because, as an athlete, this perfect cooling towel is amazing for hot summer days outside on the field. I have used a cloth towel before, and, although it does stay cold, it gets your shirt wet when you wear it around your neck, causing embarrassing wet stains (which look like you sweat A TON). This is why I prefer the perfect cooling towel because 1. It stays cold!!! And 2) it doesn't get your clothing wet if you wear it around your neck or on other parts of your body! Even if it does get hot, as do all towels, because of a process called evaporation and due to how your body absorbs the coolness, you can just re-wet it and it is back to normal again!
Mets Sevsewonthrep also id it still slightly damp you can just snap it a couple of times and its good ta cool again... it really is an awesome design... looking forward to testing it in Thailand next month...
@@ynots38 I fold it in half and then hold it above my head and swing it around and yes it goes right back to being cool. I've done this for hours and only have to swing at a couple of times.
You're not using it right. If it starts to warm up all you have to do is take it off and give it a shake and it will cool down again. I just got one and I had it on for hours and it still stayed cool.
I'm using one in India in 37C around my neck and shoulders, it feels like 7 deg C, when it loses its cool just shake it in the air for a couple of seconds to disperse the residue heat and off you go. If you are indoors with a fan blowing at very slow speeds you don't even need to shake I've found, it can last a very long time more then 40 mins. In fact it feels so cold that you feel the need to take it off that's how could it feels to be honest. If you are out doors in the blazing sun\ heat then the towel seems to dry out in less then 30 mins, so you just need to wet it again shake it and off you go. This towel has many small holes\pores which help with the cooling effect, Maybe I need to try with normal towel and compare the two.
Yee mine from AliExpress in sept 2020 when discovered wish found in spring or yearss ago but cheap and does wonders bit hard when freezed but still epic
I DO NOT SHARE WHAT IT SAYS, THE TOWEL COMES IN A PACKAGE WHERE AFTER USING IT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT IN ITS PACKAGE TO KEEP IT COLD, OTHERWISE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LAST IN HIGH TEMPERATURES, HERE IN PARAGUAY THE TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH AND TOWEL WORKS...(FORGIVENESS FOR WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS )
@@Poetry4Peace YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE PLASTIC TUBE THAT IT COMES IN. IT KEEPS TOWEL MOIST, SO THAT IT MAY NOT GET HARD WHEN YOU FINISH USING IT. THE TUBE HAS A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM. IF IT DRIES OUT, JUST REWET IT.
JakelaWeeze not true... you may be thinking of a shammy... this thing worked great. I have used it many time, thru many dry and wet cycles... and is still as soft as the day i opened it
There's no particular way. Snap it like you're popping a towel at someone's butt. Or just snap it up and down with your arm. I take mine and fold it in half and then just swing it around above my head a couple of times. This isn't rocket science.
I would rather keep a foldable fan or disposable fans you get at the stadium. But having a beacon colored umbrella or brightly tinted umbrella would be suggested. Otherwise wearing a plain brightly colored (not neon colored) clohing and a straw hat.

Did you compared it with regular ones and gym ones, as in cooling and lasting effect?
@@caetmoniza8907Regular cotton towels are heavy and feel damp and don't cool as much (tried it)

Keep two, I do food delivery so I keep a cooler with ice cubes and water, one dries, swap it out for one in cooler.

Your body doesn’t absorb the coldness, the towel absorb heat from you

@@ferretocious it's a good product... u can probably make it from other materials but if u can get it cheap go for it
So she doesn’t realize you have to snap the towel? Duh!
You dont lol that just helps it cool quicker. Theoretically it would actually reduce the time it stays cool
You're not using it right. If it starts to warm up all you have to do is take it off and give it a shake and it will cool down again. I just got one and I had it on for hours and it still stayed cool.
just snap it like you a want to hurt someone
I’ve got one around my neck right now and I’m ecstatic. I’ve got people coming up to me right now wondering how I’m staying so cool all summer long.
She didn't snap the towel
that's the problem
Also I believe there’s one side of towel that goes on neck And a good tip is to shake the towel it cools it down
I guess the products company did not pay the ransom to ABC 😂

For extra power you can freeze it for 5-10 minutes in the freezer and it will be more powerful!

What the package like a tube thing

@@latricedoxey470 THANK YOU SO MUCH LOL CAPS ™
@@latricedoxey470 But then how does that keep you cool if you've got plastic between you and it?
naw, you ignorant
You're not supposed to ring it out. And chill towel works better
She forgot to snap it!
It's not bad. Keep in water 24/7 as soon as you let it dry out it's as crispy as a potato chip and won't be the same
JakelaWeeze not true... you may be thinking of a shammy... this thing worked great. I have used it many time, thru many dry and wet cycles... and is still as soft as the day i opened it
jeep it moist
Thank you
Thanks I appreciate
Instructions say snap it ...how the hell do u snap it????????
Hold both ends and pull
