Chill Pal12 in 1 Multi Style Cooling Neck Gaiter Face Cover

I bought cooling towels last year, 2019. Several of them. They kept me cooler than I would have been without them. However, they were towels draped across the neck. I even resorted to putting the towel inside my hat to make a legion type head peace to cover my neck. It was awkward but worked. This year I went looking for more cooling products and came across a few products called cooling neck gaiters.I had a choice between two cooling neck gaiters when I started looking for one. People gave Chill Pal the better ratting and better reviews. So I choose that one.My Chill Pal Neck Gaiter arrived pretty quick and was a nice gray color. This is my only complaint so I will mention it now. It smelled. So I washed it and the smell went away.This product is the bomb. I can wear it many ways which I could not do with a cooling towel. My favorite ways are the "pirate hat", the "ninja (aka Balaclava)", "face mask" and the "foreign legion".I have sever allergies from pollen and grass dust when mowing or going from car to home, work, or stores. This year I have run out of medical masks due to the COVID-19 virus. I usually wear a medical mask from March to October whenever I have to go outside. Guess what? Wearing the Chill Pal "ninja" style or just pulled up from my neck as a thin "face cover" blocks the air born allergy causing stuff. The "ninja" blocks the best but is a little harder to breath and warmer than the cooler thin layer "face mask" style. A plus, is that I can breath better with the Chill Pal than I was with the paper medical masks or dust masks.One important thing, don't wet the Chill Pal if you are going to wear it as a mask as it is very very hard to breath, almost like being water-boarded. I had to choose. Wet it and be cool or keep it dry and breath. Not a problem. The very next day I ordered a second gray one because I loved my Chill Pal. A few days later it arrived. Now I can wear one as a dry mask and wet the other and wear it on my head and neck. Best of both worlds. Seeing as the Chill Pal Neck Gaiter acts as a sun blocker I can forgo my floppy summer hat and my head can release the heat better through the Chill Pal better than the hat.My Chill Pal Neck Gaiter beats any of the cooling towels I own. Just wet it every hour to keep it wet. You can even snap it or whirl it around to get it cool again in between wetting it.After I'm done with them I hand wash both with a little mild hand soap and warm water in the sink. I wring them out and hang them up and they are dry within an hour or two. I fold them back up and put them in their very nice and thick zip lock pouch. I hang them in my closet on a wire hanger using the included carabiners all ready for me in case I have to go back outside. I hope I don't forget to pack them when I go hiking and camping. I may just hook them to the mollies on my backpack so I don't forget them.PS: After buying the Chill Pals I did buy the other brand. I wanted to be sure I bought the right one. The other brand is more like wearing pantyhose on your face and dries more quickly if you wet it. It is scratchy to my skin. The Chill Pal is more like a bathing suit material, soft and cool, and stays wetter longer.

Got this for my dad for Father’s Day. He’s a farmer and a gardener who loves to fish. He is always out in the heat, so I thought this gift would be perfect. I got the blue.He’s pretty hard to impress so I got the item out, got it a bit wet, whipped it around and let him try it out around his neck. He lit up with a smile!We all passed it around to feel how cold it got. It stays cool for a good while and the best part is it stays damp long enough for you to keep activating it. Endless summer relief ! Needless to say, I’m getting them for the rest of the family that work outside! It was a big hit!It was too small to wear over your head but possibly room to stretch? Still a great item and perhaps it’s a color thing, maybe some are a little more stretchy than others.

Okay, so this is not a stylish look, by any means, but I overheat easily and quickly since my spinal injury yet still enjoy outdoor events with my family. I put this on, then my husband soaks me with a bottle of water (difficult to put on while it is already wet although I guess you could do it that way) and I stay pretty cool for hours. If we stay out a really long time or it is the very middle of the day, I will take it off, wave it around, put it back on and re-wet it and am instantly cooled off again. Pleased with the way this works in the hot and humid Mid-Atlantic summers!

Over years, I've tried a number of products for motorcycle adventure riding in summer with full gear. This Chill Pal gator actually works. Once wet, material feels very cool to touch. Depending on the dew point, my guess it will keep you cool for about 3 hours before you have to wet it again. Fantastic product. Highly recommend.

I got two of these...one for me or my husband to use ni the summer on our walks, hikes or runs...and one for our dog to wear on his hot summer walks. The band is useful, stays cool, and definitely helps on hot summer days and nights. Once I received it, I washed it right away and dried it on delicate. I dont think it shrunk at all from what I noticed. The band also says that it is machine washable, so it should not shrink. I have noticed however when wearing it, that it could stand to be a little less tight around my neck and would be nice to be a little looser. I do not have a big neck at all, I am a petite woman. I cant imaging how it would fit if your a huge, muscular guy!

Cooling power is similar to the microfiber cooling towel I have from another brand. This is easier to wear around the neck than the towel, although I find it a bit less versatile because the width appears to be a necessary design compromise: slightly too tight to wear around my head, but a bit too loose (and a bit too much material?) around the neck. In my so far limited experience, I think it cools a tiny bit less effectively than the towel, but it retains moisture and cooling properties longer. I also think the material may actually be more cooling than the microfiber but it tends to bunch up more if just worn around the neck, limiting air passage. The upside of this is that you can easily "flip" it while you're wearing it to redistribute the wetter part to your neck. In any case, it is definitely worth the purchase price. I can now walk a bit further on hot+humid days (although the higher the humidity, the less effective the chill pal is, same as the towel) before suffering heat exhaustion effects, and walks are significantly more pleasant with it.

I wear mine to protect from biting insects out in the field. It is excellent for wearing in hot humid weather. I wet mine with cool water, before I put it on, and it keeps me cool on my head and neck while protecting me from the biters.

A very light, breathable Cooling Neck Gaiter. It definitely cools you down. Wet it, Wring it, Snap it. It works. If there is a heatwave, put it on damp or once you've snapped it. Works that way as well. Highly recommended

Work's great

I love this just tried it out and really does help keep me cool, I have a tendency to sweat excessively and this helps tremendously for my job, Ty for a great product, I so needed this.

just a normal synthetic neck cloth - no special cooling retention, my $2 gaiter is just as good.

If you are finding the heat is too much for you this makes a huge difference and makes the excessive heat tolerable.Also rather attractive even if it doesn't match what one is wearing!
