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

Cooling Performance:This towel actually works. I was skeptical at first, but after soaking it, giving it a quick snap, and throwing the hood over my head, I felt the temperature drop within seconds. Whether I’m at the gym, working outside, or just trying to survive the Vegas heat, this thing delivers real relief.Fit & Feel:The hoodie design is a game-changer. It stays on without slipping, and the material feels soft against the skin — no scratchy fabric or weird chemical smell like some other cooling towels. Light enough to forget it’s there, but effective enough that you don’t want to take it off.Durability & Reusability:I’ve used it multiple times a week, and it’s held up perfectly. No fraying edges, no fading, no loss of cooling power. Just rinse, re-wet, and repeat. Dries fast too, so you’re not carrying around a soggy mess.Versatility:Whether you’re training, hiking, mowing the lawn, or just trying to stay cool between errands, this towel gets the job done. The hood adds sun coverage, which makes it way more useful than a regular towel — especially during peak sun hours.Final Verdict:This isn’t just a towel — it’s gear. If you’re serious about staying cool without looking like you’re wrapped in a rag, this is the move. Lightweight, effective, and surprisingly comfortable. Definitely something I’ll be taking with me all summer.

It really does get cool and is a great upgrade from the basic cloth. I can wear it under my hat, feel cooled and shielded from the sun as I do yard wire etc. When I get back from running the dog, he gets some shave ice & I wrap my head in this (just tie the long sections in a loose knot). Feels great!The cooling seems to last a decent amount of time, but that will depend on the humidity where you are. It's very dry here in southern Nevada. So, it feels super cool, but will dry faster. It works (cools) by evaporation... gotta expect the trade off.

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.

This has proven very helpful. The key is to plan for keeping it wet and, if possible, keeping it protected from the sun to show the drying. I use it under a shirt with a hood, works great.

Got this for my husband who is a contractor. He absolutely loves this towel. Works great keeping him cool.

Its is the cooling fabric, and it is sewn together well. But it really doesn't sit on your head or look as good as advertised.The back isn't solid, it kind of comes down to the back of your skull then splits. So you end up with a massive clump of fabric hanging over each side of your chest. This makes the hood close up a bit on your face, causes extra weight (and swing when running), and also causes all of the water in the hood to all run down into the 'clumps' on your chest and drench the front of you.The fabric is really thin also, thinner then a couple other cooling towels I own. My other ones are just towels, not a hood type, so they always seemed to fall off and fit badly when I tried to run. This one fits ok, but the thin fabric loses all the water (wetness) and dry out fast, losing that cooling effect completely.So my opinion... its just OK. It really could have been a lot less of a price tag, it really isn't worth the $20 USD I paid for it. Again, stitching is good, but the fabric is thin. Dries out and loses its cooling ability really quickly. And the back being split and not even coming down over my neck... really didn't like that.

luv it; don't know how it works, but really does seem to keep cooler longer

Granddaughter, loves it
