Cooling Towel FAQs

What is a cooling towel?
A cooling towel is a lightweight towel designed to help you feel cooler when it is wet. You usually soak it with water, wring out the excess, shake it and then place it around your neck, head or body for refreshing heat relief.
How does a cooling towel work?
A cooling towel works through evaporative cooling. As water slowly evaporates from the fabric, it helps draw heat away from the surface it touches. For best results, wet the towel, wring it out and shake it before use.
How do you use a cooling towel?
To use a cooling towel, wet it with clean water, gently wring out excess water, shake or snap it a few times, then place it around your neck, shoulders, head or body. Re-wet and shake again whenever you want to refresh the cooling effect.
Do cooling towels actually work?
Cooling towels can work well for personal comfort, especially in hot, dry or breezy conditions where evaporation happens more easily. They are not an air conditioner, but they can provide a simple and portable way to feel cooler during heat, exercise or outdoor activity.
Is a cooling towel the same as an ice towel?
Many people use terms like cooling towel, ice towel, cool towel and chilly towel to describe a similar product. A cooling towel does not need to be frozen. It is usually activated with water and airflow to create a fresh cooling sensation.
How long does a cooling towel stay cool?
The cooling time depends on the weather, humidity, airflow and how wet the towel is. In hot conditions, simply re-wet, wring and shake the towel to refresh the cooling effect throughout the day.
