Beat the heat this summer with EnduraCool #giveaway

After a cooler than normal Spring, our Summer has come for vengeance. I am not sure how much longer I can take the heat and humidity. Not to mention, the daily rain is making it worse. It is making my marathon training very difficult. Instead of looking forward to running, I find myself forcing myself to do it.

It's nearly impossible to stay cool while running. Luckily, I had the opportunity to try out a few products from Mission Athletics EnduraCool line which was recently featured on the Today Show! Click here to see the video.

EunduraCool products turn from dry to 60 degrees cool instantly when soaked with water, wrung out, and then snapped in the air to activate the cooling properties. The patented technology, powered by Coolcore™, works by absorbing moisture and perspiration into the fabric core where the unique radiator-like fiber construction circulates water molecules and regulates the rate of evaporation to create a prolonged cooling effect.

First up - cooling arm sleeves!! I wear arm sleeves in the winter to stay warm so the thought of wearing arm sleeves to stay cool was a new one for me. It's also SPF 50 so no worries about getting your arms burnt.

Do they work? Yes they do. Very well actually. I wore them during a 5 mile run in the middle of the afternoon. After 2 miles in 90 degree heat, I felt the need to re-wet the sleeves since they felt dry. After the run was over and I took the sleeves off, I felt how cool they really were. They stayed that way for hours. My Mom had no idea what they were and picked them up. She was beyond shocked as to how cool they were.

EnduraCool also sent me a Mission EnduraCool™ Instant Cooling Towel. Just like the sleeves, the towel instantly cools when soaked with water. I have owned other brands of cooling towels and really liked how this one did not turn rock hard after drying.

Mission wants to send one of my readers a set of cooling sleeves and a towel! Tell me in a comment below how you stay cool during the summer. If you are an athlete, how do you beat the heat?
