Your best “beat the heat” products

I used a cooling towel (cheap from Amazon) in August. I think it helped a lot. We got stuck on Hagrids in the sun for 10 minutes. I put the towel over my head to stay out of the sun. It helped. The cooling effect lasted for 2 - 3 hours after wetting.

Do you know what brand/ kind of cooling towel you have? I'm trying to decide between PVA and microfiber

I use Frogg Toggs and also have their cooling hats. I'm not sure if they still sell their cooling hats, but other companies make them, too.

Search Amazon for stickit cooling towels. The one I got have YQXCC on the package. They are microfiber.

I bought some Frogg Toggs cooling towels, but like other reviews, the dye runs. Do you have any tips for getting that to stop?

I never had that issue. Weird! We have blue ones and pink ones.

I have the pink and I never had any problems either. Maybe there was a bad lot?

Forget that nonsense! Dump it and buy Afamo cooling towels from Amazon. Those are what I’ve used for a couple trips now. Never had one run, you can throw them in the washing machine when you get home and just hang it to dry.

( @greeneyedchick this is the brand we use so it gets my vote)

Eat fruit in the morning for breakfast. It adds hydration to your system. Grapes, watermelon, citrus fruits are especially good at adding some water to your diet and keeping you from dehydrating.

OP here. Glad someone bumped this thread because it looks like we are going back and it’s going to be HOT.

This is absolutely true. We ate grapes and oranges as we walked to the bus/boat in the mornings. It’s very refreshing and the hydration stays with you.
