Material and comfort: The material of the cooling towel plays a crucial role in its effectiveness and comfort. Look for towels made of fabrics like microfiber or PVA (Polyvinyl acetate) that are soft against the skin and provide optimal moisture absorption. Microfiber materials are definitely more common material for cooling towels. They are usually made of either polyester alone or a blend of polyester and nylon. They have a soft texture that feels comfortable to the skin regardless if they are wet or dry.

Unless it’s completely soaked, PVA is dry to the touch and won’t get your clothes wet. Like most cooling towel fabrics, it’s machine washable. Unlike other fabrics, it has an unusual leathery feel when it’s wet and is very stiff when it’s dry. So it’s not the first choice for those who also want a soft texture for wiping sweat or cleaning their glasses. Microfibre It's designed to draw sweat away from your skin and stay cool for up to three hours, depending on conditions. Unlike some other products that utilize alcohol-based materials, no chemicals are used in its manufacturing, making it safe and suitable for even kids and pets. However, cooling towels made from microfibre won’t stay cool as long as those made from PVA. They’re better for short-term events where you need more versatility than a PVA towel may provide. They’re also more likely to transfer moisture to your clothing. Cotton Show a bit of your personality with these cooling towels with fun prints!

Since their cooling effects are partly due to evaporation, swinging the towel around can reduce the temperature further. If the towel is still moist, you can reactivate the cooling effects by circulating air through it. Ease of use: Look for towels that are easy to activate and require minimal maintenance. Consider whether the towel can be easily reactivated by simple steps like wetting, wringing, or snapping. Similarly, you'll likely want a machine washable towel to ensure cleaning is low-maintenance.
