The 3 most important tips & tricks
1. How exactly do you activate the cooling scarf?
This hydrated cooling scarf absorbs body heat through the skin surface and then releases the heat as moisture that slowly evaporates from the scarf. By cooling the many blood vessels in your neck, your entire body will experience the refreshing effect.
You activate the Trickie cooling scarf by placing the scarf in clean cold tap water. The cooling scarf expands because the innovative elements in the scarf absorb the cold water and retain it for a long time. After about 30 to 45 minutes, the elements have absorbed all the water. The scarf is now ready for use.
When first using it, charging may take a little longer and the elements in the scarf are not evenly distributed. You can easily do this by pushing the elements in the scarf to the left or right with your fingers, until the scarf has the same thickness/tension everywhere.

2. What to do if Trickie no longer feels cool?
The Trickie cooling scarf provides hours of cooling. However, the scarf slowly becomes warmer over time and your skin also gets used to the colder temperature of the scarf. But that does not mean that the cooling stops, you just experience it less.
Compare it to stepping into a cold sea. The first wave feels very cold, but when you stand in the same water for a longer period of time you will have the feeling that the seawater has become much warmer, while the actual temperature has of course remained the same.
If you notice the cooling sensation less after a while, it is best to turn the scarf around or stop using it for a short while. In addition, it is nice to hold it under the cold tap again after a few hours on very hot days or put the scarf in the refrigerator or in the freezer for a maximum of 20 minutes for extra cooling.

3. How can I store the Trickie cooling scarf after wearing it?
Your cooling scarf comes in a storage package. You can tear the strip at the top of the package from left to right, the package is then resealable. This package is intended to store Trickie briefly during transport and during the winter months, when it has already lost all its moisture.
Please note: the packaging is not intended to store the scarf for a long time if it has not lost all its moisture. This could lead to mold.
Depending on the outside temperature, it will take 2 days to a few weeks for Trickie to lose all its moisture. During this period, store the scarf in a well-ventilated environment. For example, in a plastic container without a lid or on a porcelain dish or plate. Never store Trickie on moisture-sensitive materials such as untreated wood.
