MISSION Cooling UPF Multi-Use Neck Gaiter Men’s & Women’s Buff for Working, Running Sports Sweat & Water Activated Technology

Soft and comfortable. I use it when I mow the yard and it helps keep me from breathing pollen.

It mission cooling blanket mask to wear while cutting grass

Provides needed protection and cools (but probably not much more than any other neck gaiter would, after soaking it in cold water and waving it through cool air).The only issue that I have with it is that it does not go down far enough in the back, so leaves a gap between the shirt and the neck gaiter. I find myself often trying to pull it down there, to cover it, but it keeps creeping back up. I wish that it had a flap on one side (or something), that would make it go down a bit more there - the neck / upper back is the most exposed part to the sun.

My fiance and I absolutely HATE the heat, but, living in CA, you don't have much choice if you want to do things outdoors.I bought 2 of these when we were going through a major heat wave recently. I like that you can put it over your head and it sits like a scarf and you don't have to fiddle around with it to make sure it stays on. I've found that to be the only way to wear that is actually functional for me. The other ways either aren't as effective or are way too restrictive (and ridiculous!) for casual outdoor yardwork.My fiance didn't want to wear his at first. So one hot day, after a long session of playing with my dog, i put this around my dog's neck. He doesn't like water: he doesn't like being wet, stepping in water, being sprayed, etc, and runs away whenever i grab the hose to water the yard, whenever i turn on the water in the shower, or whenever i turn on the sprinklers (even though they're nowhere near him)... weirdo.But, to my surprise, he was absolutely okay with having this drenched towel around his neck! And, instead of panting loudly for 20 minutes after playing, he only panted heavily for 5 minutes after i put the cooling towel around him! I was really happy that he doesn't refuse it and that it helps him, because dogs overheating is a legitimate concern (many k-9 units have been lost due to heat exhaustion.... really sad. look it up). And my dog has a tendency to not care about anything else when it's play time, not even his own health!!!(one scary example: we were playing in the front yard, and he came back limping, i was wondering what happened and tried to look at his leg. He backed away and just wanted me to throw the ball again. so i did. when he came back the second time, i realized a ton of blood on his foot... I was like OMG WHAT HAPPENED!!!? Turns out, he had nearly ripped off one of his rear dew claws somehow on the previous throw/return. To this day, I still don't know how it happened, there's nothing sharp in my grass! This claw was just barrrrrely hanging on. So here he is, limping, and blood everywhere; he doesn't care, HE WANTS TO PLAY!! Looking back at this, it's funny as hell, but at the time, I was freaking out. I immediately put pressure on it and we wrapped it and called the vet. He eventually had surgery to remove his rear dew claws. He's just fine now :) and still doesn't care about his own health. dogs are silly)Either way, This is awesome for my dog. plus it looks suuuper cute on him, looks like a handkerchief but keeps him cool. It was an unintended purpose for this purchase, but it turned out to be a really good thing for my pup, who goes 100% on every single throw, no matter if he's limping, overheated, bloody, missing a toe.... etc. It's my way of looking after his health since HE doesn't.OH, another use i forgot to mention: I had actually bought this as a gift for my dad who does go-karting. I remember he had mentioned about being so hot when he's karting (cuz you got all that gear on, helmet, full body suit plus neck padding and rib cage protectors, and you're in direct sun and heat, and you're on black asphalt.... yeahhh)So anyways, i was like omg, this would be perfect for my dad, cuz he can wear it under all of his gear and under his helmet! He reported back to me and said he loves it and makes it soooo much more bearable in that heat. So, there's another use for it. I got him the black one so that it blends in with his gear.

Great quality fabric.

Too bad it's not Mireno wool.

It works

Works good
