Description
Cobber is Aussie slang for 'mate' and this little cobber will definetly become your best friend on a hot days trek or walk.
Available in assorted colours and designs, the cool neck wrap by Tilley is made of polyester and cotton fabric filled with poly-crystals. By simply placing the neck wrap in clean water for approximately 30 minutes the crystals absorb the water and turn into a gel. Slow evaporation of the water produces the cooling effect. The material may become warm against the skin but by simply rotating the wrap, the cooling effect is rejuvenated immediately! Reusable many times, just re-soak in water when it becomes too dry
How does the Cobber work to keep you cool?
When placed around the neck, the COBBER lowers body temperature by cooling the carotid arteries in the neck. The continuous moisture from the Cobber surrounding the warmth of the neck allows evaporation to take place thus acting as a cooling system. You only need to rotate the outside edge towards the neck to maximize evaporative cooling.
Directions to activate as a neck wrap : Soak entire wrap in clean water for a total of 30 minutes. After approximately 15 minutes crystals will begin to absorb the water, and feel like a gel. There will be less stress on the seams if you distribute the gel evenly throughout the wrap. Submerge the Cobber again for the remaining time (15 minutes).
Note : Do not leave the Cobber in water for longer periods than suggested above. Excessive hydration may put a strain on the seams.
Hold your Cobber at one end and gently squeeze out the excess water. Now place the Cobber around your neck. Within a short period of time, the Cobber will no longer feel wet, but the cooling will continue for days.
To activate as a headband : Soak entire wrap in clean water for 20-30 minutes.
To use as an icepack : Activate in the normal way, then place in the freezer for up to 30 minutes before use.
To use as a hotpack : Activate as suggested above, then microwave for up to 30 seconds. Test first to make sure the Cobber is not too hot. Now you have a HOT COBBER!
