With a heatwave sweeping across the Northeast and expected to intensify over the Fourth of July weekend, many are seeking quick and effective ways to stay cool. A set of cooling towels, priced at $14.99 for a 4-pack, has garnered praise as a simple solution. Made from mesh-cut, cooling, UV-protecting microfiber, these towels provide instant cooling without requiring batteries or electricity.
How They Work
To use, simply soak the towel in water, wring it out, and enjoy immediate cooling relief. Measuring 47 by 12 inches, the scarf-shaped towels can be worn around the head, neck, or shoulders, or used as a face towel to wipe away sweat. Reviewers appreciate their versatility, using them on wrists, back, and chest without feeling bulky.
Customer Reviews
“I think magic is real and it’s in these towels,” shopper Jenna wrote. “These really do work and they’re way larger than I thought they’d be.” Another reviewer, Hudson, who has lived through 125-degree summers, said: “I had no idea these existed until I saw someone and asked them. I have them with me everyday now. Yesterday it was 110 and running errands — God send!”
Each towel comes in a pouch with a carabiner carrier, making them easy to attach to bags or belts. They are ideal for travel, theme parks, sports games, sightseeing, or yard work. Some users note that a slight breeze amplifies the cooling effect.
Additional Uses
Many customers find daily uses beyond trips. One shopper said: “Cooling towels have become my new favorite accessory. I am actually wearing one on my wrist as I type this... I have them on my wrist or around my neck at home, when I am cooking, when I am at work, when I am in the car, after I work out or after a hot shower.” Others use them at concerts, outdoor festivals, and camping. Lexi shared: “I took these to a summer music festival and as someone who has a heat sensitivity, I can comfortably say that they saved me from heat stroke. They get very cold, a lot colder than I expected.”
