Cooling Wrap

My kids saw a "cooling wrap" at the local Walmart and were interested in buying them. Me being a typical DIY (cheap) kind of guy, told them that we could make them at home. So I looked at a few websites and they seem quite straightforward to put together. I also found out they are/were also an item that groups sew and donated to troops in care packages. So I started to think perhaps once we sew some , perhaps I should make one for myself and my buddies in my platoon. Question though. Do they actually help when dealing with the heat? And more importantly, do guys actually wear them? Any feedback or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
