from me! I sent for these a few weeks ago 'cause I saw them in clearance for £12 & £1.95 postage. Anticipating the heatwave I thought they'd be ideal as I really don't cope well in the heat and with 4 in a pack I thought great one for me, one for OH and the other two I can just bung in the present drawer to give as stocking fillers or just because gifts. Now if ever I buy anything remotely gimmicky or gadgety I'll test drive it before I admit my purchase to OH as he's known to take the proverbial out of me for being such a sucker, or bang on about wasting money. I've had the set hidden away upstairs and yesterday when I returned home hot, sweaty and bothered I thought yes, I'll give one a try. I followed the instructions on the packet ie wet the towel, wrung it out well and "snapped" it the recommended time to "activate" it. I thought it would feel fairly dry but cool after doing this, but it didn't it just felt like a sodden wet cold towel. I popped it around my neck and shoulders and it felt most unpleasant and I couldn't get it off fast enough, not only that, it had a weird surgical smell that I didn't like so I stuffed it back in its pouch and didn't say anything to OH. In hindsight I should've said told him I'd picked them up in a charity shop for a couple of quid and gave him a chance to try it in case he got on with it. I guess I can still do that another time and if he says the same as me then I can say oh well only £2 and I can use them as dusters! I found that my skin felt wet and it did dampen my clothes slightly as well. I'm surprised there are so many great reviews for this product all I can think is that there are people out there who don't mind the feeling of a cold and wet towel next to their skin, but that's not me I'm afraid. I'll stick to my portable fan and that cool magic spray that really does work. I know I'm still in time to return these to Q but I've left it too late to claim my postage back, it's gonna cost nearly £3 if I send them back via Evri, then I'll have to wash and attempt to dry the one I've used so I'm not sure I can really be bothered. Hey, I've got some dusters and some handy little pouches lol!
