Product Description
Product Description
The Ergodyne Chill-Its 6602 Evaporative Cooling Towel uses a super evaporative PVA material to absorb water to then allow it to evaporate slowly for instant, long-lasting cooling relief. This super-evaporative PVA material is designed to create a feeling colder than ambient air temperature and absorb and hold more water than other cooling towels on the market for a longer-lasting cooling. This neck cooling wrap can be used for hours or for quick relief and is completely reusable, just re-wet to activate.
HOW TO ACTIVATE
Run the PVA cooling towel under water for one minute or until saturated, wring out excess water and twirl or snap in the air for no-drip cooling. Drape the towel around neck or head for instant cooling relief. Material will dry stiff, simply rewet until soft to activate, and it’s ready to go again. Towel can be reused over and over. Before storing, examine product for dirt and debris. If soiled, machine wash then store in plastic tubing container for safe keeping.
This evaporative towel is the perfect cooling headwear for anyone working in the heat and exposed to possible heat-related illnesses like heat cramps, heat strokes, or heat exhaustion are possible. Great for workers in construction, carpentry, mining, landscaping, OR for outdoor activities like camping, yoga, baseball, softball, soccer, running, biking, days at the beach or on a boat, golf, yard work, fishing, gardening, hiking, riding motorcycles and more.
From the Manufacturer
Hot conditions are tough on workers and productivity. The Chill-Its Evaporative Series provides cooling through evaporation to keep workers comfortable all day long. This cost effective approach helps workers stay cool, fight fatigue, and increase productivity. And they're reusable - just resoak 'em and you're good to go. Our Chill-Its Cooling line is the best way to battle heat from the foundry to freeway. Evaporative cooling bandanas, headbands, triangle hats, and hard hat inserts keep cool comfort on tap for hours. No matter what the application, Chill-Its sees to it that cooler heads prevail.
Important information

Simply dampen the Chill-Its® Cooling Towel and drop it over the back of your neck to cool your body. When needed, simply re-wet the towel.

I bought 3 different brands of cooling towels (Chill-its, Frogg Togg and Mission EnduraCool) to try and I like the Chill-Its the most: lightweight, doesn't feel like a wet towel or too spongy in texture, was the 2nd coldest towel among the 3 brands and stayed cool for a couple hours at least in upper 80s degrees heat & heavy humidity (I live in Hawaii) before needing to be recharged/wet again. It doesn't have a strong odor like some reviewers stated at least not IME, does have a chamois-like cloth texture whether wet or dry (almost like the chamois cloths for cars but they don't keep you cool like Chill-Its, I tried one out of curiosity) and is easy to care for - just wash with mild detergent (preferably fragrance-free) and hang to dry then store in case or store in its' case moist in the refrigerator as recommended by manufacturer to make it colder longer. Reasonably priced and cheapest of the 3 at less than $9.
Frogg Toggs was a very close 2nd in my opinion: it was the coldest of the 3 brands I tried and also stayed cold the longest. It was the heaviest of the 3 towels though, bled blue dye when I first washed it (I got one in varsity blue); has this slightly spongy texture and a latex smell initially. Frogg Togg was reasonably priced at $10+. My brother immediately snapped it up and used it during a recent pistol competition where it kept him nice and cool and comfortable throughout.
Mission EnduraCool towel I liked the least, I bought it at a local sports store where it was the only available cooling towel. I wasn't impressed, it just felt like a regular wet towel after following the instructions, even tried cold water and snapping it several more times with no appreciable difference in coldness (only got cold with use of cold water, but warmed up quick within half an hour). It was 2nd heaviest in weight when wet/damp among the 3 towels I tried, it felt wet even when wrung well and had a slight chemical smell. It does have a nice silky-like fabric feel and looks the least like a car finishing cloth among the 3 brands, was ready to use/wet right out of the case (the other 2 brands need to be washed first before use) but that's all it had going for it. It was the most expensive at more than $20 + sales tax but I needed some cooling towels last minute to send with my parents who were going out of the country at the time.
I would definitely buy the Chill-Its towel again when I need another cooling towel.
I was amazed at the way it works! Yes, it does look like a regular towel, but unlike wet towels, it doesn't get warm when applied to hot skin. I took this cooling towel to the ball field, tucked in among the ice and drinks in our cooler. I wrung it out and let our son wipe his face and arms with it, then put it around his neck and shoulders. It stayed cool for a long time, and just waving it in the air re-cools it for more relief. When it started drying out, I re-wet it and my son was noticeably cooler for the entire game.
I didn't notice any unpleasant odor from it, like some reviewers did. I wrote our name on it with a Sharpie marker, and rinsed it well in the sink before the first use. I also threw it in the washing machine with the uniforms after the game, and then stored it damp. It comes in a hard plastic tube for storage when the season is over, and I plan to order a couple more of these towels to help deal with the heat. Great product!
Edited to add: we also bought a Frogg Togg towel to use during this hot summer. We like this Chill-Its towel better than the Frogg Togg because it has more of a chamois-like texture. Both towels work equally well, and both towels come with a plastic storage tube, but the Frogg Togg towel has more of a rubbery texture that we found less pleasant against our skin.
That said, it really does work. I've seen people say it's like a towel, it's nothing like a towel, as I said it feels like a yoga mat while towels feel like a more traditional fabric. However, it does absorb and cool just as it says it does. I have multiple sclerosis, which tends to get way worse in the heat. Staying cool in summer is very important. I just moved from an apartment with central air to a one room hotel styled ac unit. I knew that wouldn't cool the whole place and we have threats of record heat (Southern California record heat aka HOT HOT HOT). This arrived just in time.
Would also be good for migraines as I find ice packs too cold, chilled gel packs lose their cool too fast, and wet rags too drippy. This does not drip.
I had it around my neck (indoors) for 3 hours before re-wetting it (the ends were still cool but enough of the main neck area was completely dried out that it required re-wetting). Not too eager to try it outdoors yet, but we'll probably be attending an outdoor flea market next month in what I expect will be extreme heat. If that happens, I'll post about the results here. I would highly recommend keeping water bottles for the sole purpose of reactivating this in case you'll be outdoors in extreme heat and don't know if you'll have easy access to water.
I definitely wouldn't do something like an all day trip to an amusement park without this.
If the fabric were just a bit softer, it'd be perfect.
My whole life I suffer from hyper hydroids
(extreme sweating) especially in humid/hot weather or even when being slightly physically active. It causes for a lot of discomfort and even embarrassment in certain situations. This towel helps me to stay cool and it’s very absorbent at work or cleaning my home etc. I can’t believe I didn’t know of it’s existence or I would had bought it a long time ago. For me personally it is a huge help and enhances my life quality.
