Agave-bandana

Took this on a hot hike and the soak-and-tie method really helped my pup stop panting so hard at the summit. The fabric stayed damp for a good while, and it made the group photo way less miserable.

The soaking trick works exactly as described—I dunked it in a stream for about ten seconds and tied it on my dog before the final push to the ridge. He actually seemed to slow down less on the switchbacks, and it made for a much happier summit photo.

We took this on a hot afternoon hike and our pup actually slowed down to enjoy the summit instead of panting the whole way back. Soaking it took about ten seconds and the cooling lasted a good hour before we needed to re-wet it. Even got a funny selfie with him wearing it like a little cowboy.
