I wear this in the summer when I mow the lawn or go kayaking. I'm heat intolerant and really need something to keep me cool, and this does help a great deal. If you shift it around and re-snap it, it does keep you cool for a while, but perhaps not two hours. One thing I do really like about it is that it helps protect the back of my neck from sunburn. Even though I wear a hat, I still get burned unless I wear this thing. It is very comfortable and I often don't even wring it completely out as a few drops of water also help with the cooling, anyway.

If you are working outside, I really recommend this. It works better than the soaked bandanna I used to use and is much more comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and soft and will not scratch you. It washes up very well and dries quickly, which is great when you want to use it day after day or on a weekend.

This is a good way to help stay cool as the summer heats up.
