Overview

Lately I have started to do more nogi and MMA type stuff, and I needed a towel to dry off with in between rolls/rounds. I began to look at a few options, when I saw an elite athlete that goes by the nickname GSP promoting the Mission Enduracool towel. After watching the promotional videos on Missions website I had questions and I knew many others out there would need answers so I purchased one! Read on Gear Junkies!

How To Use It

The instructions on how to use the Mission Enduracaool towel are pretty straight forward. First you get the towel damp, either by pouring water on it, or by wiping the sweat off your body. Once you have accomplished this you hold the towel on each end and snap it three times. Then you can go back to drying yourself off, except now with a cooling sensation!

Does It Really Work?

The short answer is yes the towel does become cool after you snap it three times. However the coolness you may experience is very short lived and goes away within seconds of placing the towel on your body. It's very similar to the cool side of the pillow on a hot summer night. The towel itself is very thin and doesn't really feel like a towel at all. I think most of the cooling comes from the fact that you are taking a thin piece of cloth and essentially waving it around in the air for a bit before placing it back on your body. I'm not 100% sold yet on it's absorbency either. I think a few more hard summer workouts are needed before I can say for sure.

Conclusion

The price is low enough where I can't really say that it's a rip-off, but if this towel was say $25+ I would not suggest buying it. I'm sure there are plenty of other options out there that are better suited for the job of a towel, but this one is in fact kind of "cool".
