An apparatus for cooling a portion of the anatomy of a wearer comprises an elongated fabric with fastening means on its ends for adjustably connecting the ends together in the form of a closed loop to encircle tightly a portion of the anatomy of the wearer such as the head or wrist. A portion of elongated fabric is provided with a pocket with a flap for folding over an elongated cooling pack. A cooling pack is inserted in the pocket and retained in the pocket by the flap. The cooling pack is comprised of a plurality of elongated tubes, at least some of the tubes containing ammonium nitrate and a container for water.
