What is a HUG?
A HUG is a cooling tie that will keep a serviceperson cool for hours in the blistering heat of the Middle Eastern desert. It is made of sand-colored cotton (for camouflage) and filled with polymer crystals, which absorb moisture and swell when immersed in cold water. Our troops love tying a cold HUG around their necks before embarking on a mission in desert heats that can exceed 130-degrees!

Again, Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
