Don't lose YOUR cool!

As a four time winner of the Badwater run in Death Valley it is essential that I keep as cool as possible. The cooling towels that Discovery Trekking Outfitters have developed provide the best cooling effect that I’ve experienced. Dipped in water and wrapped around the neck, the hotter it gets the cooler the towel. The towels certainly contributed to my successful 135 mile race in Death Valley this past July.

It's hard to believe a fabric can get this cool, but this amazing towel gets very chilly, and stays that way for hours. Just add water, wring it out, and wave it in the air to activate.

How does it work? It’s very simple Evaporation is the process of turning liquid to gas. As the water tries to evaporate, the gas becomes cool. This is true in the environment, on your skin, or in a fabric. The problem is, it normally doesn’t last very long. Not so with this towel! This special fabric inhibits evaporation, channelling the gas back inside the fabric rather than letting it escape. The towel feels dry but very, very cool. This cooling effect lasts for hours. When it no longer feels cool, the fabric simply needs to be waved to re-activate the water molecules.

Don’t lose YOUR cool!! These are great gifts, but don’t forget about yourself!

Please note that all cooling caused by the process of evaporation can be affected by very high humidity. In areas above 85% humidity, the towel's cooling ability is diminished.
