Top 10 Best Cooling Towels

It’s a hot, sticky world out there, but that doesn’t mean you have to be uncomfortable while out in it. There is a multitude of ways to keep cool, from finding spots of air conditioning to dropping ice down the front of your shirt. But what if there were a very simple means of keeping cool without having to go to inconvenience yourself and carry around a cooler full of ice cubes?

Cooling towels are a trend that everyone in hot, uncomfortable climates can get behind. Like a radiator, the towels tend to work by rotating molecules and modifying evaporation rates to drop the temperatures of the fabric. Whether you just got done at the gym or Mother Nature is throwing unbearably hot weather your way, a cooling towel is a compact and valuable thing to have on your person at all times.
