Ergodyne Chill Its 6705 Cooling Bandana, Evaporative Polymer Crystals for Cooling Relief, Quick and Secure Fit, Red Western

I never write reviews but read all the reviews and was shocked.Honestly I didn’t even know what was in the bandanna. I just wanted a bandanna to cover enough of my forehead to stop sweat dripping down my face because I work in a pizzeria kitchen. My post is in the middle of a deep fryer, 6 hole gas stove top (that has a consistent flame going boiling pasta water), and of course a pizza oven.Yes, it is insanely hot. Whatever you are imagining, multiply that by at least 6.3 - level hot. It is just plain stupid hot so.... I SWEAT. A LOT. NON STOP. Top of my forehead dripping down my face off my chin. I already add salt to the food and don’t want the food to be saltier than I made so I try not to sweat on my food. LOL. No, of course I do not sweat in my food, ever.Originally I had a towel and I would grab it to wipe my face but eventually it’ll be rush hour and I won’t even have time to reach for the towel or I become to focused and don’t even realize the sweat is running down my face. I’ve had times where I tried to do a Mission Impossible- Tom Cruise move but man, that is just a movie! If I could, I would though!! Haha.So I wanted a small and skinny bandanna I can wear under my hat and found this little item. It looks perfect. I bought the skull, camo, and flames because those are the cool people patterns you know?My first day with the skull. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Maybe because the title says “cooling” I felt like it was cooling me down a little. Maybe the adrenaline rush from the skull design imagining myself to look hardcore and cool made me feel like that also. 11 hour shift, no more reaching for a towel to wipe my sweat. No more Mission Impossible- Tom Cruise moments (I’m kind of sad about this one honestly). The bandanna was drenched in sweat. Come home want to look hardcore and cool again tomorrow so I throw it in the washing machine. Ultra clean please!Here it goes - why in the world has my bandanna become a snake!?? Apparently my bandanna was well packed with that polymer stuff. I don’t know what to do. Came back here to read reviews.NOW I UNDERSTAND.Okay, so here is my piece.Why am I writing this incredibly long and ridiculous review?Dude, man, miss, mister, ma’am, sir!!YOU PAID $2.19 for this piece of clothe with whatever amount of polymer. If you expected it to be something so perfect, I’m sorry but get out into the real world more please.Sure, it would be absolutely amazing and way awesome and too great and all the nice and pretty words you can think of but this item is a $2.19 piece of cloth with whatever polymer is. It already feels like polymer would cost more than $2 and the cloth more than $0.19. So I definitely came out the winner no matter how defective or crappy this bandanna was.I am definitely not rich and definitely do not have money to waste. When I am not working my main meal is cereal to conserve and save what I have. I am not spoiled. You, who are complaining and finding flaws and writing bad reviews of a $2.19 bandanna, you are the spoiled one. You are the one with delusions. Like I said, please go out and experience the world outside. It is harsh. More harsh than thinking of how much you got ripped off from a $2.19 bandanna.Thank you for taking the time to read my junk. Hope you enjoyed my truthful and honest review that came from the bottom of my heart.IT DOES WHAT IT SAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO. SOME AT 110% AND SOME WAY LESS THAN 100% BUT FOR $2.19, THIS ITEM IS MOST DEFINITELY BANG FOR YOUR BUCK !!!I RECOMMEND BUYING MORE THAN ONE AND THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF IT. ALSO HANDWASH TO PRESERVE AND TO USE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME !!!

The band was most definitely worth the price. Keep me coolo so long as I kept soaking it in cold water. Took this sucker out to our first post Covid event. It was a music festival in 95° heat and high humidity. Bauhaus stole the show from the bloated lounge singer that is Morrissey IMHO. At any rate, only drawback that demands an mention would be that the velcro strap did a number on my neck. So much so that I spent half of Devo and most of Psychadelic Furs explaining to my old lady that the marks on my neck were from the strap and not hickeys. Other than that it was all GUccI. Taking it back with me next year FOSHO.

Product works as advertised it just wasn't what I needed. I work in a foundry and the band just doesn't stay cool without some air moving. Outside on a 95 degree day is much more comfortable with it on.

Something different for sure.but I love skulls and I wanted to try this out. It's really good to put in freezer before you wear it out like for me outside doing the yard on a hot day. So many ideas you can use this for as well. To big for kids to wear depending the size of their head lol. But it's a good deal and it does keep you cool.

Good product I live in Arizona I've used this a couple times it does what it says it's going to do

Doesn’t fit around your head thinking about cutting the Velcro off and just using it as a tie and doesn’t stay cool long at all does take a long time for all the water to get out and it to get back to normal pretty disappointed but for 2 bucks can’t expect much I guess thinking it might work nice to freeze and drape around neck

The sizing on these is so weird. The non filled parts of very long so when you put this on, the water filled part sits down at your check while your neck just have the fabric part and Velcro. I think what the company did to save on costs and offer a few different options is to take a bandana type one where you tie it around your neck and just added Velcro. I was going to return but ended up just using a seam ripper and removing the Velcro parts and tying these like the traditional bandana ones. They work great after the alteration. So I guess if the velcro ones are cheaper than the bandana ones, buy them and remove the Velcro, you will get the same product.

I love these and keep them on hand during hot work days.
