Abstract
Abstract A misting device, usable with a lounging pad, produces a gentle blanket-like mist that completely covers sunbathers and provides cooling to keep a person comfortable while sunbathing without having to move away from the device. The misting device is removably attachable to a lounge pad and has mist emitting heads which are individually rotatable to control the direction of mist emission. While the device is attached to a lounge pad, the lounge pad may be folded for transport or to conform to the shape of lounge chairs or ground surface contours.
