The popularity of using ice to say cool has skyrocketed the last couple years. I find the Rabbit ice bandana to be the perfect solution to staying cold. Ice doesn't fall out like some other products and they are also stylish as hell.

Emi Stretton, What Gets Me Through the Miles
One of my favorite pieces of gear for hot-weather running. The Rabbit ICE Bandana gives me an easy way to cool down during long runs—especially when I’m out for hours in the heat. I can wet it, wear it around my neck, and get some much-needed relief when the temperature starts climbing. Small piece of gear, but a big difference on long summer miles.
