These stay moist for a long time. We have a yellow one that gets rather dingy looking fast so we opted for the blue this time. We tried a cheaper version and they didn’t work as well.The ac in our tractor doesn’t keep us very cool, so these are a must.I loved it took it to gym with me, kept me cool around my neck, would definitely recommendMy son has a rare genetic disorder that keeps him from being able to regulate his body temperature. Heat is exceptionally difficult for him. This towel saved him in Disneyland in August. Follow washing instructions, and hang dry. We could just wet it down in water fountains throughout the day when it needed to be *recharged*. We will use this at home, or on hikes on hot days as well.I purchased this for a Grand Canyon crossing in May. Temps soar to the high 90s/low 100s at the bottom around this time of the year. It kept me cool (wore it around my neck and dipped in the river or other water sources when I could). What I liked: this stayed cold for a long while. For the first part of the trip, I had this in a ziploc with ice cubes and it was freezing when they melted and I took it out to use. This is also remains soft when it dries. I purchase 2 other cooling towels. One from Costco and one from walgreens and both dried stiff. I couldn't fold them up and store them once dried. This remains soft and pliable. It is also quite thick, but doesn't take up a lot of room. I highly recommend for hot temps, yard work, hikes, etc.it works ok. Stays cool about 30 minutes. I bought it to use after work outs and on hot summer days. It comes out of the tube a little damp but not wet. Doesnt feel like water though. Use it, and hang it in the bathroom when im done. Hard as a rock. Have to use the tub to get it wet again, bc cant bend it, and it loosens back up.Pros: Keeps you cool for about 30 mins, rewetting cools it back down.Pros: Bigger than a hand towel, but smaller than a large hospital towel (the ones they claim are full sized but wont barely cover your bum.)Cons: Super stiff when it dries.Cons: Cannot machine wash or dry (which would be fine if it stayed pliable)Cons: Doesn't last very longCons: Not long enough to drape over a plus sized neck (17" circumfrence) without falling off while walking/runningCons: Higher price point not worth itLove these towels. I play tennis and do several outdoor activities and this towel stays constantly cool. You can hook on end to the other and it won’t come off during your activity. When it starts to dry out, I just pour water on it and it perks it right back up. I wore it for several hours over the weekend, and only had to refresh it with water once. Comfortable material and rinses clean easily. Just bought 4 for gifts .I had one for myself and loved it. My Zumba instructor needed one so i bought one for her. She loves it.as pictured,great size.after wet a few times holds water great!!Works as promised
