While the year is beginning to wind down and seasons are changing for most of the country, it is safe to assume that this summer was a scorcher for most of us. Here in purgatory, also known as Oklahoma, it was one of the hottest on record, and that led to anyone on a golf […]

Kind of an interesting product.
Im not sure I am in the market for it, but at the same time, I am kind of the market for it. Does that make sense?
 
The alcohol increase the evaporation process and opens pores. That’s why it’s dangerous directly applied to skin. This is an old folk remedy to lower fevers but also leads to alcohol toxicity. The negatives outweigh the positives thus they don’t recommend skin contact.

The clothing application is interesting to me. Not sure I would use it but as JB said I could very well be the market for the product.
 
I'll stick with the basics of 8th grade science (Boyle's Law) and use battery operated misters with plain water to drop the temperature a few degrees rather than spray substances on skin or clothes.
 
I like that there are people out there thinking outside the box a little. I really wouldn't have guesses that this product does what it does. I feel like it's one of those things I'd dismiss until somebody convinced me to try their's on a hot day.

Not cheap for a bottle of liquid. Did you get a sense of how long a bottle might last?
 
If it doesn't lower your core temperature, it doesn't seem like a winner to me. Potentially may affect the way you sweat so also not a good thing in extremely hot temperatures. I guess it's all mental?
 
This is interesting. I can see the merit but not sure I would use it? I’m solidly on the fence

Increases evaporation. Nothing will ever work better than removing the heat source. May be some merit to this product just not sure it’s “needed”
 
Interesting product but spraying something on my clothes to give me a cooling effect likely isn’t something I’m doing especially since I don’t wear a base layer in heat. For those that live out west and play often in it though maybe it’s something useful to have in the bag?
 
In some ways sounds similar to something that was called Florida Water - some cologne or after shave or something, that was mixed with water and used to cool down. I read about it online, have a bottle of the product, but have never actually used it (yet).

The concept is interesting, but if it could potentially be detrimental in this heat, might not be a good idea.
 
That is an very interesting product for sure. You could not have tested it out in any better areas @Jman.
 
very interesting concept. The origins weirdly make sense, as I bet those regions of the world try everything to not get dominated by the heat and humidity.
 
An interesting read as to the origins of the product.
 
I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this, but cool that the product exists.
 
Those of us who wear undershirts get a cooling effect from that! This sounds like a good product for golfing in Thailand at 95 degrees and 95% humidity....WOW
 
In moderate heat I could see less stress on the body being fooled into thinking your cooler. Not sure I would try it when activity should be limited anyway in dire heat conditions.

Hahahaha, right?

Just purely miserable weather was the perfect opportunity

It’s the big thing for me, and to their credit, they have disclaimers on the bottle about it. But we both know, golfers (and people) are stubborn, and in extreme situations fooling your brain/body into thinking it’s cooler is something to be very very careful of.

I wear undershirts, and this sprayed on that layer did, in fact, add to the effect.
 
That post said:
Product seems like it could be actually dangerous. Big pass.

Only in the hands of someone who doesn’t pay attention to the big disclaimers on the box, bottle, and such.

Makes total sense imo.

That’s Fair. But makes me question if a product is worth it if there needs to be big disclaimers all over the bottle and box.

Water spray bottles, a cool towel, a fan. All seem like they have a much lower threshold for danger.

I'm sure their legal team insisted it be on there (good for them to do it) before Darwin takes hold. Better to have a warning label on their before it's needed. Agree with you fully.
