Best Cooling Towels

Mission HydroActive Max Full Body Recovery Cooling Towel changes everything.

Providing the highest level of recovery and protection, the towel offers full-body coverage, including this oversized hood that cools you down much quicker than regular cooling towels when training/ participating in team sports in the heat.

The company's water-activated MAX cooling tech works together with the soft, cool-touch fabric to bring 30% increased cooling effect.

In other words, to activate the cooling effect, all you have to do is soak the towel in water, wring the towel out, and snap three times.

When activated, the super-breathable fabric cools down to 30 degrees below average body temperature, providing the most effective cooling effect that lasts for up to two hours.

You can always re-wet and re-snap the towel when the cooling effect wears off as often as you want to stay cool as long as necessary.

At the same time, the towel offers UPF 50 sunscreen protection to make sure that the harmful UV rays don't do any damage when you're chilling outside.

To sum it all up, Mission HydroActive Max Full Body Recovery Cooling Towel will let you bring your A-game to any competition/every workout. The towel will let you recover much quicker than you do without any tech like that. The full-body coverage changes everything recovery-wise. It will keep you cool under just about any conditions, from high humidity to scorching hot summer temperature.

YQXCC Travel Microfiber Gym Towel keeps things simple but, at the same time, very effective.

You add some water to the towel (the water temperature doesn't matter), shake the towel, and no more than three seconds later, you'll see/feel the towel turning cold.

The towel will remain cool for 1-2 hours depending on the temperature outside.

When it is particularly hot and sunny outside, the towel will not be able to remain especially cold for more than 60-90 minutes.

On the bright side, the microfiber fabric here is super soft and pleasant to the touch. Plus, while the towel stays cool, the fabric remains dry, ergo, again, pleasant to the touch.

The fabric's really lightweight too, so you won't have to worry about the towel literally dragging you down.

Apart from that, we're dealing with pretty basic stuff here. The towel measures 47" x 12". Its sunscreen protection rating isn't specified but it is there. The portable container that comes supplied with the package will let you carry/transport the towel with ease.

In conclusion, YQXCC Travel Microfiber Gym Towel will prove perfect for sports and exercise (everything from running, trekking, cycling, and swimming to camping, hiking, backpacking as well as games like tennis, baseball, football, basketball, and more), for physical treatment (headache relief, heatstroke prevention, sunscreen protection), and for daily life.

You can use the Alfamo Sport Cooling Towel as a head cover, cooling bandana, and/or a neck wrap. The towel's great for sports/athletic purposes, females suffering from heat stress side effects and hot flashes, and patients who need cold therapy after operations. It's not half-bad for gardeners doing yard work as well as and workers working outside in that exhausting summer heat.

The secret behind the towel's versatility is its 55% polyamide/45% polyester composition. Unlike its PVA competition that dry to cardboard, the towel is as soft as they come, pliable, easily folds up and fits into any gym bag.

The towel remains cool for up to 3 hours, reducing body temperature up to 30 degrees.

The fabric is pleasant to the touch, not that unpleasantly dripping wet feeling that you usually get from subpar towels.

Plus, the towel brings major (UPF 50) sunscreen protection to the table, shielding you from UV rays.

The package also includes this waterproof carrying case and a carabiner clip that you can use to attach the case to any belt.

The only problem you might face with the towel is that the polyamides might color some fabrics, so we would recommend being careful with your clothes.

Bottom line, Alfamo Sport Cooling Towel is flexible and versatile. You can bring the towel with you anywhere you go. It is suitable for various purposes and available in different sizes and colors. The high-quality edge stitching will prevent any wear and tear.

Your Choice Cooling Towel is pretty much everything we've seen before. The towel doesn't have any major flaws and the overall package is nothing to complain about too.

Some might find the towel relatively thin but its lightweight composition rests on that thinness, so we won't be deducing any points for that.

The high-density cooling mesh fiber used here is especially absorbent, breathable, and hyper-evaporative. It is chemical-free too, meaning you won't have to worry about any health/environmental concerns.

Because the fabric is highly pliable, you can turn the towel into a headcover, neck wrap, sweatband, scarf, cooling bandana, pretty much anything you want.

The towel's UPF 50 sunscreen protection rating means that the product will have no issues shielding you from the sun. The carry bag that comes supplied with the package includes this tiny little carabiner clip that will let you attach the bag to your backpack/gym bag.

The cooling effect will usually last for three hours, reducing body temperature by 30 degrees.

In short, Your Choice Cooling Towel is equally suitable for professional athletes, small-time fitness enthusiasts, outdoor workers, children, pets, and more. There are practically no scenarios that include sweating where the towel won't prove useful.

We can get behind the cute Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad name.

The issue is that the towel is not that impressive compared to every other product on this list. The model's PVA sponge/polyester composition makes the towel extremely durable but, at the same time, not flexible at all.

You cannot turn this towel into a bandana/scarf/neck wrap the way you can turn polyester/microfiber towels. That being said, you can cut the internal polyester mesh reinforcing material into just about any shape you want.

Apart from the non-flexible construction, we do not have any major complaints. The towel remains cool for up to two hours, which is pretty standard. Because the PVA sponge part makes the towel relatively rigid, it is able to remain cool despite the temperature outside.

Plus, the towel is able to absorb eight times its weight in water, allowing for much longer evaporation times compared to conventional towels.

In addition to the towel, the people behind the product send you this nice little storage container that will let you keep the towel moist and ready for use.

In closing, provided you aren't looking to turn the towel into different shapes/forms/things every single day, you cannot go wrong with the Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad. The towel can be used for recovery as well as to relieve heat stress symptoms.
