After dipping one into some cold water, these towels give an instant cool to your skin. Use them to wipe away sweat from your face and hands or tie it as a headband or bandana around your neck. Several reviewers call this product a “lifesaver” for theme parks, beaches and deserts. With one user saying the towels even helped them sleep during a recent heatwave. If that cool relief sounds like heaven on a summer day, you can grab the multi-colored, eight-pack for $11.49. (That’s less than $1.50 a towel, BTW.)
The towels measure 40 by 12 inches, and each comes in its own waterproof pouch with a carabiner attachment for easy carry. Whenever you need to cool off, you can either dip it into some water and wipe your body for an icy sensation or, like many users suggest, lay the damp towel over your face or around your head or neck. Some say the wind or a slight breeze can amplify the cooling when you’re at the beach or taking a walk. They’re also designed to provide UV protection!
One reviewer, Ayme Bahrami, used the towels on a family trip to Disney. “Easy to duck into a restroom, run some water over the cooling towel, wring it out, and snap it a few times (outside, away from people),” they wrote. “Once, all I had was hot water, and it still cooled down very quickly. These were life savers for us.”
