Cooling towels!!! http://amzn.com/B014AMQ0XO
These are a must, especially for the campground. It's a special mesh towel that stays cold for a long time after you wet it, but doesn't drip. Toss it on your friend's back when they look exhausted and dehydrated, and they will instantly be re-energized back to life and love you forever.
These ear plugs, these bandannas and definitely a Camelbak (the lighter the better or all his friends will ask him to carry their shit in it and that gets old, and heavy, fast). Or, if you want to do something a little different, schedule an in-hotel massage on Sunday late morning/early afternoon before he goes into the fest for the day. Seems over the top, but leaves you feeling fresh as fuck when everyone else is hurting on Day 3. I've done it with Palm Springs Massage the past few years and they do a great job.
I use these YogaRat Hand Towels
I handwash them after each class since they dry quickly enough. Honestly though, if you just use a regular hand towel, it'll work about the same. If I forget to wash my YogaRat, I use grab a regular handtowel and never had a problem. A regular handtowel might actually be more cushion for your hands if you need/like that.
Get yourself one of those cooling towels, I've seen them in fitness stores but also places like Winners or Marshalls. They also have those fast drying yoga towels there as well.
Cooling towel. It's been a lifesaver for the past two years and I'll never go without it again.
Evaporative cooling towels and headbands. Dunk 'em in your overflow water for instant and long-lasting heat relief. https://www.amazon.com/Biange-Cooling-Workout-Fitness-Pilates/dp/B077TMQ43F/ref=sr_1_14?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1526656287&sr=1-14&keywords=cooling+towels

also, take your hat off when the cart is moving to get some airflow over your head. sounds simple, but really works
I bought a bunch of these and put them everywhere this past summer. At work, in the car, in my purse. They work pretty well and are fairly inexpensive.

I ride with a "cooling towel" tucked under my helmet, over my neck, then the rest under my shirt. It actually does work, at least during the duration of the ride. https://www.amazon.com/Mission-HydroActive-Large-Cooling-Towel/dp/B079ZH94S6/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=mission+sports+towel&qid=1563934755&s=gateway&sr=8-10

I also use arm covers, and wet them after I put them on. Don't wet them before you put them on, or it will be a pain to get on. It creates a cooling effect in the wind, keeps you from getting sun burnt, and a great way to wipe sweat quickly.

Leave about 10 minutes earlier and never use 100% power (if you are running late then go 100% haha). Crawl up all the hills in the lower gears. Coast more.
Syourself is what I got. I have had some issues wetting them just right, but they have been doing well to keep my head/neck cool.
I have this towel mat, and it doesn't budge.
I have
They all work really well, but IMO the effects can be short lived and you frequently have to get up and wet them again. The PVA cooling towel seems to work REALLY well, I think it has something to do with the gel like consistency of the fabric. I think these are good things to have around. My heat intolerance is really bad, so every little bit helps.
Also, I have an Embr Wave device, which I find brings short bursts of relief, but it takes a while between sessions and needs to be charged often. They’re also a bit pricey.
Cold showers help a lot. When I’m overheating, even cold water doesn’t make me jump like it normally would, it feels very soothing. It’s just about finding the right temperature.
Keep cool objects against your carotid arteries (basically just keep cold or cool items on your neck).
Fans help. Use a plastic spray bottle filled with water and mist yourself. I’ve tried one of these and I actually find they work really well for me
I feel like the salt and fluids thing is surprisingly hard. I got a water bottle last year that had times marked on it and you refilled it in the middle of the day. It helped me get to my goals of 2-3 liters a day. Here’s an example (not an endorsement): Drink Your Effing Water
I keep salt packets from fast food places in my purse and just take a lick every time I fill my water bottle. Those two actions (the water bottle and choosing when to salt) have helped me be consistent.
I know we’re supposed to use compression but it’s so hot in the summer. I have a sleeve that I can Velcro around my thigh (my injury site) so that helps but I can’t walk around with it on.
When I do overheat, I’ve found the only thing that helps when I’m out and about is a cooling towel like runners use. The one I got is similar to THIS I carry it in my purse or bag always. I have a little waterproof zippy pouch for it. That’s all the advice I have. Maybe others can chime in about what works for them.
I might be lost in translation, but this item has a good pic of the texture up close:

Most studios have mats you can borrow, but you will still want something of your own. At your level, any 1/4" thick mat will do. If you've got Prime, you can have one of these on Tuesday. Personally, I like to use a hand towel to reduce slipping and occasionally mop off my face. Sure, you can use whatever workout towel you use under your hands or even get a cotton hand towel at a discount store, but I went ahead and spent $10 on a genuine Yogarat hand towel (I'm also a cheapskate and use it to tie up my mat for travel rather than a bag or strap). If you aren't doing hot yoga (such as Bikram), there's no point in a mat-sized towel because it won't stick right without being just slightly damp.
Namaste!
Cooling towels help just for general shade, wiping sweat, and covering dust
All great advice on what towels to get, etc ..
I wonder though if there may be something there in your breathing. Do you find yourself sometimes retaining the breath while in postures or moving through your Vinyasa? If so - notice when that's happening and regulate. You may be holding in too much heat by not regulating your breath. Just food for thought. :)
Also, this is the towel I use: Mettadali Yoga Towel - it's been 70% off for like two months now. Hehe
Not really Disney related but I'm asking for my visit. Has anyone ever tried cooling towels like this one? I'll be at the parks in mid-August, so it's going to be crazy hot. I live in Atlanta so I experience a good bit of heat/humidity, but being outside and walking around in Orlando summer is still a beast. That towel seems fairly portable with its little pouch and could be nice to have it they really work. It has good reviews, but I'm skeptical that these things actually work. Anyone ever used one either at Disney or in other hot situations?
I use something similar to these (the ones I have are branded arctic chill ones, but I got them years ago when they were only $5 a pop, they seem to have gone up in price now) when it's super warm outside (in addition to a boonie hat):

This is a fast drying towel you wrap around your neck-- keep a bunch in a cooler soaked in cold water, then take them out one at a time and then wrap them around your neck. The fast evaporation of the water will cool you down a bit
As far as hats go, this one's a little pricey but so far it's been my favorite: https://tripleaughtdesign.com/shop/scout-rs-boonie-hat/

Check for Lightning Deals and compare the photos. Often there are many distributors of the same product.
My dad is an umpire and keeps several with him on game weekends.

Wet gloves and headband usually make the first half of the ride no big deal. Just got a cooling towel for around the neck, should make the rest a bit easier.
Has anyone tried a cooling towel or anything? I'm considering getting one to try it out http://amzn.to/2rvXe8Q
I’d recommend the Peloton shoes and mat. The rest of the accessories are garbage

There are plenty of ways to take care of your staff without spending your way into their good graces. I would be honest, tell them that's too expensive, and ask them if they have any other ideas.
Devises that create turbine-like movement (ex. fans) and ones that create heat use more electricity than most other things.

Get 'em a bunch of these.
- One time cost
- No wear and tear on your equipment.
Man, it’s so incredibly hot this summer here; I hope you both don’t have to suffer through it again. And yeah, my Hydroflask is worth its weight in cold. I carry a 24oz every time I leave home and probably go through it 3-4 times a day.
Have you tried a cold snap sports towel, like this? I gave them out as gifts to my German friends last year and they’ve been hugely used so far this summer. I find it really nice to carry with me if I’m outside, because a quick douse of ice water from my thermos and a snap means I get something that stays cold on my neck for a good while.

19 degrees? You pussy.
For anyone suffering, though, I cannot overstate how fucking amazing these are.
I know they don't look like much, but they're real simple. You dunk one of these bad boys in water, even warm water, and it turns ice cold, and it STAYS ice cold for a good amount of time. If you're like me and you've got very little ventilation in your home and your fan just isn't doing the trick then drape one of those around your shoulders and it feels so good.
Edit: HOLY FRICKIN' CRAP THEY DO A BIG ONE NOW.
Also, for the record; no I am not being paid to push or shill these but it seems like nobody I've talked to has heard about them. They're three for a tenner for goodness' sake, they're re-usable, easy to wash, soft and as cold as yeti balls. Go get 'em.
