MISSION Cooling Hoodie Towel- Hood Towel, Evaporative Cool Technology, Cools Instantly When Wet, UPF 50 Sun Protection, Contours Your Head to Stay in Place, Great for Sports, Fitness, Gym

Got it in black & blue from both Amazon & Walmart when I was a cart pusher during the Texas Summer. Helps me to work outdoors longer while customers don’t want to go outside just to bring in a hot shopping cart. When the Mission hoodie towel, hat, skull cap & neck gaiter dried out…took plenty of cooling down breaks to soaked them in water, rehydrate.

Been a mail carrier for 20 years, seen this and decided to get it a try. Absolutely love it! Works great, I soak it in some ice water, ring it out and place over my head or over my hat, stays cool for quite a while in the AZ heat.

How much you like this towel is going to depend on how you use it and under what conditions...The ideal use is indoors, at home or in an office with no air conditioning. I got it for the Pacific Northwest heatwave and it's absolutely helping keep me cool working from home with no air conditioning. The cooling effect lasts 45 minutes to an hour before I need to rewet it. When I wear it outdoors in direct sunlight, it dries out in 15 minutes. If you're not under direct sunlight, you might get 30 minutes of cooling at best. So this might have some utility if you're going for a quick walk around the block, to get the mail, take out the trash, etc. Don't expect it to hold up for anything longer, like yard work or attending a baseball game.Is it overpriced? Sure. They're charging double what this product is ideally worth, given how useless it is for any kind of extended outdoor use. Even indoors, you need to avoid wearing a neck fan, as that will dry it out super-fast, as will wearing it too close to regular fans. And the whole "snapping" thing seems like a waste of time gimmick. I don't think it makes any difference... might as well yell, "Abracadabra!" for all the good it does.As pointed out in other reviews, the long tails (split design) will be a pain (and possibly dangerous) for anyone who frequently bends over while working. But if you work at a desk, you can just tuck the tails into your shirt and you'll be fine (plus it keeps your chest cooler).Don't get me wrong. This product has value. It's a good idea, but either the company cheaped out on the design or the technology isn't there yet to properly turn it into a hoodie. I'd give it 1 star for outdoor use, but 3.5 rounded up to 4 stars for indoor use. It works pretty good indoors--quite comfortable and pleasant to wear--but having to rewet it every 45 minutes to an hour is annoying. Still, glad I bought it for this heatwave, even if it is overpriced.

Last summer I bought a cooling towel by this same company and loved it, so I jumped when I saw this and it didn't disappoint! This was a couple dollars more than some others I saw on here, but the quality is definitely worth the price!

Great 👍

Dried in about 15 mins from car to running track. And hood wont stay on while light jogging. Even wet or dry. But certainly dry. Coolness 7 out of 10. They need to make one with elastic on hood edges, so it stays on. I imagine it will only stay on for slow walking or standing still or sitting.

I live in the desert extreme dry heat and this is perfect.

Not a gag gift but started out that way. This works good.
