Frogg Togg has come up with a sport twist on the shammy and made them in fun colors. I bought one at a sporting goods store for running. I did not right away connect the frogg togg towel to the shammy. I say kudos to them for thinking of yet another way to use one but you can get them cheaper other places.
Now as far as my experience with it for the purpose I got it for. I am training for a marathon so I run. I run a lot. I sweat a lot. The frogg togg is great for absorbing the sweat from my face and neck all while staying cool. I have benefited from its use mostly in a gym though while training on a treadmill. It is by no means tiny and runners need to pack light. I drape it over the arm of the treadmill and its there when I need it. I don't need it when running outdoors as much anyway because I have wind in my face unlike at the stuffy gym.
The golfer mentioned that his was drying out which proved useless to him and I can completely relate that if in sun or a hot car, yes it will dry more quickly. I think the tube it comes in is a little cumbersome so I stick mine in a gallon ziplock bag, take it out when I get to the gym, put it back in when I am done until I can get home to get it in the washer.
Overall, I like this much better than a towel. It is smooth as butter so it doesn't feel scratchy on my face. Also I have found that some fabrics ie. shirt sleeves or even using my hand to wipe sweat away can really burn my face. Some may be the salt in my sweat from my hands being wiped onto my cleaner more sensitive face and some may be the fabric softner/soap left behind in the towel or shirt. Either way I like my frogg togg and will continue to use it happily.

The towel does get cool, but the material feels like neoprene and kind of gross/slimy. I haven't had a problem with the smell, like some other have, but I keep it in the plastic container. I took this to the beach so my small children could use it in the stroller, but they don't really like it because of the weird texture. I think it could work for some people.Best Deals for Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad Hi-Vis Orange CP100-46
A tennis friend of mine used this one hot summer day and I flipped for it. Found it at Amazon at a great price. When it's dry, it's stiff; once you soak it in water, it takes on the texture of a soft flexible chamois. It's a rather large square; I cut it down the middle and hang it around my neck during those hot days on the tennis court, like a scarf (got to tuck it in to my top during play or it'll fall off). It feels cool as long as it's wet. As you become accustomed to the temperature, you can dip it in ice water, wring it out and it feels cold again.Very happy I have it, however, I didn't realized there were two in one pack. I ordered two, one for me and one as a gift and ended up with 4. It's a product that won't wear out fast, so one is all you'll need for some time. When not using it, you should store it in it's container, which has a ventilation hole in it to allow it to dry out slowly. I think if you keep it in a ziplock bag where it's always damp, it may mold on you.
