Default Cooling bands/hats?

Is there anywhere around town to buy cooling neckbands or hats? Hubs doesn't sweat and heats up quickly while playing sports.
I found them online but was hoping to get some for tomorrow's golf outing.
Thanks!

try a local pharmacy - call first and save yourself some time. if all fails, ice in a baggy wrapped in a bandana and kept cool in the cooler on the golf cart.

i do recall someone selling them at vendor nite in lsl - don't know if they are in ss.

Market of Marion on 441 has them. But keep in mind, you don't get something for nothing. If it is the type with the gel beads in them, they really don't "cool" very well. Njbchbum's idea is much better.

I have some of those I bought at a craft fair. That won't help today, but I also put a wet wash cloth in a baggie in a small cooler (with an ice pack) and at the time of the bathroom break about half way through the 9 holes I wash all over with it and don't dry off. It cools me off alot. I wouldn't go golfing without my cold wet wash cloth.

The Villages Golf Pro Shops sell cooling towels. Call them first.

do a search for 'Refreezable Ice Sheet' on bing.com - looks like it might be available at target [or at least target.com]

the fact that they can be separated as one needs to do makes this a great product. and it can be easily wrapped in a bandana for quick use.

when i know i will need this, i make sure to freeze some and then take them with me in the ice packed cooler. an extra large bandana makes it easy to tie around my neck.
