Product Reviews of Ice Bandana (TM) - Grey/Black - TWO (2) PACK
Product Review: Nice when 1st put on.
Summary: 3 Stars
These are a great idea for those of us who are prone to being uncomfortable in heat. I live in the mountains and love the cold. When I visit flatlanders, most of whom live in San Diego, or Florida, I'm hot, hot to the point of being snappy or short tempered.
I had to attend a wedding in Florida this last July 4th. It was an outdoor wedding so I knew I'd be extremely uncomfortable. I found these on Amazon and decided to purchase four units as they came with extra gel/ice packs.
1st, if you have a fat neck, you will not be able to close the bandanna with ice pack completely around your neck as shown in the picture, although the two ties are velcro so you can secure it.
2nd, the claim it will"keep you cool for hours" wasn't accurate for me at least. The best I was able to get was around 40 minutes, and that was inside a small room that was air conditioned, but had a lot of people in it so the air wasn't as effective as one would expect.
As I had extra ice packs, I did place one inside the band of my straw hat which has lots of ventilation. I ran through those in about 20 to 25 minutes, again, while inside.
Your experience may be very different than mine, as I run hot most of the time. Just be aware that if you do run extremely hot, you most likely will need plenty of ice packs, which are sold separately.
Oh, and keep in mind a lot of people will think you look dorky with this particular style.
Product Review: Simple, effective, and convenient.
Summary: 4 Stars
I use these ice bandanas after my runs in order to cool down quicker. At first, like the previous reviewer, I couldn't feel the ice against my neck and it appeared as though the fabric was too thick to allow for heat conduction through the ice pack. Then I discovered that you must wet the fabric before putting on the device. With the fabric wet, it allows the heat to transfer through the water that soaks into the fabric and into the icepack. It is kind of like the reverse of the concept of a wetsuit. Anyway, I found that these are simple, work extremely well if you wet the fabric and they are washable, so overall I'm happy with my purchase. My only gripe is that they did not include some kind of instruction sheet recommending wetting the fabric; however, the sweat from a person's skin would eventually do the trick (if you are a sweaty person, that is).Product Review: excellent purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this item. It was specifically mentioned by a family member who is particularly bothered by warm temperatures.
