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.

Anything that will provide relief for menopausal hot flashes has to be well
worth the money.

Do you use one of these?

YES
Are they worth it?

YES

Where do you see the knock
offs?

These guys sell them at $2.99, at that price if they hold up, it is not
worth making you own.

(Not that I would buy one, of course.) Can polymer crystals be
purchased at your local hardware store?

They can be purchased any where they do gardening supplies, they go by
the brand name "Water Grabbers" or something similar.

Could these crystals be
incorporated in Jockey Shorts to stay cool all over?

Yes, but unless your name is "Horse" the shrinkage factor keeps most men
from buying the "Kool Shorts" )

I own both the shorts and the long pants, but my wife calls me "Tripod".

Tripod, huh? Cool.

Can't wait.

BTW, I'm leaving at 5:30 tomorrow AM for six days of golf in the Seattle
area. Keep this place straight, OK?

Even funnier, his claim he's going to Seattle to play golf. He may play
golf out there, but that's not why he is going.

Ya know, this evaporatin tie thing might work if you wrap it round yer
head. You prob need to cool your head mor'n anything in the heat. As
I have gotten older, I can no longer regulate my body temp and I sweat
about a gallon over a couple hours so this could really help. I might
give it a try. I saw em at the local Ace hardware but didnt buy one.

Yeah, I know what you mean.. I went riding with the kids over the
weekend and did not hydrate enough. I had cramps tie up my legs and
back all night. I may try one of these too...

Eat bananas, great for preventing cramps. Of course keeping hydrated is
very important also.

The reason I would want one would be for riding a motorcycle in hot
weather. With a helmet, the 'over the head' one wouldn't work too well.
