* Once all the ice is melted, the Jimbo bandana does not provide much cooling. There are commercial products, such as the "cool off bandana" that has a chamois that will hold water. I've used this product and rather like it, but it does not hold as much on ice is the Jimbo bandana and is obviously a lot more expensive. The "cool off bandana" is probably a better choice if you want some simple evaporative cooling without filling with ice. (See image on the right of this section.)
* Depending on the situation having several Jimbo banned and those pre-filled with ice and stored in a cold box can save a lot of time.
* You won't get frostbite from the ice. As noted in [[Cryotherapy]], frostbite does not occur until the skin goes well below freezing point. (Never use gel packs - they are cold enough to cause skin damage and then warm up too quickly.)
=The McGin Enhancement=
The McGinn is an enhancement to the Jimbo bandana. The McGinn uses a knee-high sock filled with ice, tied off and the bandana wrapped around it. The sock should be thin, such as a dress sock, but not pantyhose type nylons. The McGinn holds less ice than the Jimbo, but it positions it better.
