KOOLGATOR Evaporative Cooling Neck Wrap – Reusable Neck Cooler with Long Lasting Relief During Hot Weather Activities, Sports, & Outdoor Work, Scorpion/OCP Camo, 1 Pack

I used the KOOLGATOR Cooling Neck Wrap during a heatwave while running, and it was a total lifesaver. It stayed cool and made a huge difference in how I felt throughout the day. Super easy to activate and reusable—just soak it in water and go. The camo design looks great too. Whether you’re working outdoors, running, or just trying to stay cool, this neck wrap delivers! Highly recommend!

I have 2 of these for 18 holes of golf in Florida. They keep me cool for about 3 or 4 holes and then I switch to an another keeping them in an ice water bottle for optimal cooling temperatures. They definitely help with the high temperature heat and humidity of southern FL

I use this to help me stay cool while out in the summer sun here in the US Southwest. It really works! I have two, and alternate between them, putting the one I'm not using in a cooler with some blue ice to chill it even more.My only complaints with it are 1. the tube could use a few more beads so it's more uniformly filled, and 2. the plastic snap doesn't hold very well. A stronger snap or button or other fastener might work better.

I now have a mixed reveiw. Some things I love about this. But other not so much. So, I have updaed my review.At First...I Wrote: love this Neck Cooling Wrap.... The cooling Beads truely fill up the wrap-band. Please note that when you receive this neck wrap it will look like there are very few beads. These beads WILL swell to fill the wrap. The neck band is rather long in length to fit a thick neck. I have a small neck so, the wrap does hang down my chest a little aways. I can move it to widen out to my shoulders or even hang the extra to the back. It stays in place real well. I dont mind this as the whole wrap has beads with cooling action. This wrap has a snap closure instead of long fabric ends to tie together. I like both kinds of closure. This snap wrap looks less like I am a boy scout, so I think this kind scores more for the none-camping look. I will have to see over time weather the snap will start failing or not.Now after 2 months of use.... Im not totally happy with it. The Snap stopped working. So, it slips around and falls off when I end over. I now safety pin it closed. I had another issue that was my fault. I left it in a ziplock bag for several days and it smelled horrible. It took 5 washes with liquid soap to get enough of the oder out so I could stand wearing it again. The other tie neckwarps have not soared like this in that same time frame. So I am disapointed a bit. But, now that I know I wont do that again. I do love the plumper amount of gell in this neck wrap. And that it does not have the extra tie cloth hanging onto my tops getting it wet down my chest. Yes, the neck of my tops do get damp with this one.When I take it off I put it in a plastic zip-bag and toss it in my purse. I have it ready and avallible anytime I need it. I went out shopping and started to over heat and grabbed it. I was not near any water and put it on without re-freshing it.... ahhh, relief. It had been over 18 hours since I re-freshed it with water and it still helped cool me.Note... Do not leave it in a ziplock bag for more then 24 hours... AND...Before packing it away for the winter, make sure the wrap is dried FULLY!!

The basic idea of a water-activated, reusable cooling method is a good one. Follow the directions and you will indeed get some cooling relief for a time. Unfortunately, the small neck wrap warms up quickly from body heat and and the cooling effect from the beads inside is quickly dissipated. Not useful beyond about 45 minutes in hot summer weather. In addition, this neck wrap gets VERY sweaty (and possibly dirt-covered) when wearing it to garden, mow, do other yardwork, sports, etc. You really need to be able to handwash such a thing; who wants a sweaty/crusty neckerchief? The only problem is that the neck wrap this takes DAYS if not WEEKS to dry out after being handwashed washed and hung up. You don't really want to store it away when wet, so the only recourse is to leave these damp, floppy tubes hanging over a towel rod or over a doorknob (or on a drying rack in front of a fan) until they are dry enough to put away. (Rather unsightly.) I think your best bet-- rather than purchasing this item-- is a cooling ice-pack style neck wrap that you can hand wash-- one that dries quickly and can be kept in the fridge or freezer between uses. This is the solution I eventually went for; it lasts longer and is far more effective and practical.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love these and can’t wait to share them for our 4th of July get together! They arrived super fast and they are soft and comfortable! Much better quality than I was expecting, especially at such a reasonable price!

Exactly what we needed. I bought these for my husband when he golfs. I was surprised how much he uses them. But I’m hooked now too. It keeps me cool while gardening or walking. Highly recommend.

Very disappointed. I spend three hours at a shelter working afternoons, outside in low humidity, roughly 90-105 degree heat (so far, it's not July yet). I followed the set-up instructions exactly, and got it ready about 15 minutes before my shift.It barely works. I had been using a wet hand towel before and that worked much better. The Koolgator dries and loses its cooling pretty rapidly, then remains a slightly cool tube around your neck. Nothing special.That's the thing - nothing special. I was so excited to get some sort of enhanced effect because of the beads and design. I would return it but not worth the effort. Towel vs Koolgator - I'll take the towel.As an aside, the beads quickly settle on either side of your neck with nothing behind it and it takes forever to dry.
