Frogg Toggs for heat relief

[Mukta]

I have seen a few posters mentioning Frogg Toggs and how much they help in the heat. Which of their products did you find the most useful?

The cooling towel. I think it might be called a chill pad or something like that? It's the original item. Bring it each day in a plastic bag in your backpack (or whatever you bring). That way it doesn't get other things we when you aren't using it. We love it in the parks. Just pull it out, get it wet, wring it out, and put it around your neck or over your head for a minute. Since we tend to visit in July and August it is quite useful.

Our daughter swears by it. She did the Disney Soccer Academy last year and the Frogg Togg likely kept her from giving up a couple times (upper 90s plus central Florida humidity and playing soccer...ugh). She desperately wanted to do it again this summer and the 'congratulations you are going to Disney Soccer Academy' was her stocking stuffer this past Christmas!

The cooling towel is amazing! We've had one for years and have used it several times in the parks.

I bought one for my husband when he was doing electrical work in a new building that had no AC in August.

Most of those products like Frog Toggs work through a process known as evaporative cooling. They work great in low humidity environments, but not quite so well in the high humidity of Florida.

I thought about picking something like it up, found research that said that a regular washcloth was as effective

There are several companies selling similar products. DW and I have used cooling vests, cooling towels & wraps and they were beneficial in helping us beat the heat. They definitely make a difference and we bring them along whenever we go anywhere during the hot months. ( There are products we also use for our working dogs as well ) They are a useful weapon in fighting the heat and allow a longer more comfortable park day.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only person who loves Florida in summer

Just saying it would seem any type of towel will help

To a point. One advantage the "cooling towels" seem to have is they are relatively thin which should make the water evaporate a little better. Of course a thin cotton pillow case you have sitting in your closet would most likely work just as well.
