Product Information

A few manufacturers infuse terry cloth cotton towels with special oils or aloe to help them retain moisture longer. Other than that, they dry in a similar amount of time to a standard bath towel. These towels often ship pre-moistened in resealable bags and can be re-soaked when they dry. This style is not as common as PVA and microfibre. Combos Measuring 33" x 13", this towel provides generous coverage for maximum cooling relief and sun protection. You can even cut it to create smaller towels to suit your needs. 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.

This towel is constructed from Frogg Toggs' exclusive 100% Poly Vinyl Alcohol material, known for its hyper-evaporative properties that can absorb up to eight times its weight in water while remaining dry to the touch. Since heat and sun exposure often go hand in hand, some manufacturers make their cooling towels with UV-resistant material. This feature won’t mean much for the person who uses his towel at the gym, but it’s vitally important for those buying them for soccer games, mowing the lawn, or braving theme parks. Storage case 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 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. CottonPlus, the organic nature of the material means that when it's time to dispose of the towel, you can grind it up and blend it with soil to help dry soil retain moisture, according to the brand.

While cooling towels don't provide hydration or full-body sun protection—two other hot-weather essentials—they can be a helpful tool to have on hand when you are spending time outdoors in hot and humid weather (especially if you are also elevating your body temperature with exercise). We selected cooling towels for our list based on the material, care instructions, size, and affordability. Do not put PVA towels in the freezer; the stiffer material can become brittle and break relatively easily.Don’t fold or try to pull apart wrinkles in PVA towels when they’re dry — you risk damaging the towel.
