Has anyone tried this shirt?  If so, does it really work?

I saw the advertisement, and I was wondering if anyone has actually tried this shirt?  At $69.99 per shirt, I don't want to find out the hard way that this is just a gimmick.

I would appreciate any feedback from actual users.

I'll be watching for it too.  Did you get a hat too?  If so, lets hear if that does anything for you.

It's been BRUTALLY hot down here this year.  I'm ready to try anything.  Can't wait for November!

I would love to know whether they actually work.

If it does, I would like to order a few myself.

I'll be checking regularly for your review.

Is it some kind of improvement to the "Dri-fit" type of shirts that have been around awhile? I know that those don't work very well if they aren't tucked in. they seem to need to be touching the skin to work effectively. Untucked and flapping around doesn't work.

It is impregnated with minerals to produce a cooling affect.  We'll see if it works.

IceSkin™ is engineered through a multi-layered, three-dimensional, knitting process. By combining a high percentage of natural jade mineral with our CoolSkin® microfibre technology, the MST process transforms fibres, finer than a human hair into filaments with unique performance capabilities.

  • 4 weeks later...

I just got in from hitting balls and it is approaching 100 degrees.  The shirt kept me much cooler than other golf shirts I own.  Sadly, it took almost four weeks to get my shirt from the day I ordered it.

After 18 days, I contacted the company at their 800 number and was told they would look into the situation and get back with me.  A few days later I got an email saying there had been a delay in shipping, but it had "shipped last week."  I requested and received a tracking number.  From that I learned that it had not  "shipped last week."  It did not ship until AFTER I contacted them.  I don't know what the real story is, but I wonder if I would have the shirt today had I not contacted them.

I haven't tried the hat.  It's white and I can see it getting dirty/ugly fast.  I tried the cooling towel at home and it does get cool.  IceSkin is on to something with this cooling technology.  Of course, the cost is greater than what I have paid for any other golf shirt.  Still, I may buy another; I'm waiting for them to offer more colors.

I am 5'10" and weigh 210.  Usually, I wear a Large or XL, depending upon the type of shirt and the manufacturer.  I ordered an XL and it fits okay, though it is not as roomy as my other golf shirts.  On me, a Large size shirt from IceSkin would be "skin tight."  Keep this in mind if you decide to order.

I've got 5 or 6 dri fit shirts and I like them but it's also not particularly muggy in Colorado or Idaho.  I leave them untucked all the time and haven't noticed anything bad about it.

I would try one of these ice shirts maybe but $70 for 1 shirt is just nonsense imo. :-P

Thanks for the update.  Based on your review of its performance, I think I will give it a try.  I will make sure not to expect a quick delivery, though.

I just got mine too.  I was supposed to get the hat and towel.  I will have to call.  I haven't used it yet, but will write a full review.

Welcome to TST, and thanks a lot for giving us that feedback.  At first I was a little worried since this was your first post and it involved a product but obviously you are a real person and not a shill (yeah sometimes we get those).  Anyway it is great that you shared our experience and I know it was appreciated.  I hope you'll stick around and participate in some of the other threads.  Lots of good folks here and tons of free instructional material and feedback.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I've ordered mine almost two weeks ago, and I still haven't received anything yet.

@Iceman123 Can't you guys do something about shipping the order out as soon as possible?

I like the website design. I would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts once they use the shirt.

    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
