This worked great and color coordinated with my hat so looked better in photos then I expected, haha. Seriously, it kept me cool all day long while I walked in the 115-degree Egypt desert and it hasn't dried out even after I returned days ago and hung it out to dry. I was using a cooling hat (which dried out almost instantly) and super icy wrist bands but I still felt the heat in my neck so I put this neck band on too and it really upped the comfort level. Highly recommended!
