Far more effective than cold washcloth, wet hat, drinking ice water, cold shower or other methods. You will go from the brink of heat exhaustion to chilly in only a moment. Its actually insane how effective this is.

I am aware that for some people this is probably really obvious, and thats okay. There’s been plenty of people I have talked to just suffering miserably in the heat and never thought of this. It sounds obvious once you know, but its actually very easy to overlook in the moment or massively underestimate how effective it actually is.

Its essentially doing exactly what sweat does but more efficiently and without using your own body’s water to do it. And it lasts for a fair bit before drying out and you can just do it again if you need to.
