from their web site.
The Original Kool Tie is an attractive fabric tubular scarf which
contains polymer crystals. When soaked in water, these crystals
absorb
more than 400 times their original weight (see illustration).
The Original Kool Tie cools the body through the natural process of
evaporation and never needs to be refrigerated or frozen. This
cooling
effect is continuous and will last for 2-3 days before a re-soaking
is
needed. This provides a more efficient & comfortable method of
dealing
with hot situations than products with frozen inserts. "Freeze &
wear"
type products are useful only until they melt, usually about an
hour.
In addition, the extreme coldness can actually create more
discomfort--remember the headaches you got as a child when you ate
ice
cream too fast?
The cooling effect of the Original Kool Tie is all natural--you
need
nothing to activate it except water. The gradual release of
moisture
provides the cooling effect.
These would be very cheap to make, and there are less expensive
knock
off around, but I have no idea of their quality or comfort, at $10
or
$5 for the knock off, both are cheap.
You be sure to let us know how they work out if you ever go out for
a
boat ride.
I will, I plan on going up tomorrow and spend two days on the boat.
Nothing is nicer than an quiet evening on the water.
I can't figure out why it would not work exactly as described. I put
it
on while I was walking the dog, and it is almost too cold, without
feeling wet at all. I figure out on the lake in the afternoon it
will
be perfect. I actually think I will have to move it from my neck to
around the brim of my hat so it doesn't get too cold.
As much time as you spend boating, you should buy one of each fabric.
From what I can tell, you've spent far more time boating than anyone
else
around here, so you must know of what you speak.
I'm ordering two of them. Thanks for the tip.
Richard and Wayne spend much more time on their boat then i do.
Well, yeah, but that's what they *do*.

I wouldn't mind living the life for a year or so. But I don't have the
bucks for a big GB.

You got money to go to Seatle for golf and can't afford a GB?


He borrowed a Vespa.

Do you think he could handle a Vespa? I suppose a 50cc might be doable for
him.
