Cooling Towels & Scarves

Custom Cooling Towels and Scarves for Health Events and Outdoor Programs

A cooling towel handed out at a summer health fair or charity walk is the item people reach for immediately and keep using long after the event ends. The activation is simple: wet the towel, wring it out, and it stays cool for hours. That combination of instant utility and repeat use is what makes cooling towels the go-to giveaway for outdoor screening events, wellness walks, and heat-safety education programs.

This collection includes full-size sport towels, neck wraps with snap closures, cooling headbands, bandanas, and gaiter-style face covers. Materials span microfiber, recycled PET, terry velour, and copper-infused polyester. Most items fold into a compact travel pouch or mesh bag. Custom full-color imprint is available on the towel surface and on carrying pouches.

Common Questions About Cooling Towels and Scarves

How does the cooling technology work?
The towel is soaked in water, wrung out, and then snapped to activate evaporative cooling. The effect lasts for hours and can be reactivated by re-wetting. No chemicals or refrigeration are needed.

Are cooling towels reusable?
Yes. Every towel in this collection is reusable. Machine wash or hand wash and the cooling function reactivates each time the towel is wet. This makes them a lasting reminder of your program rather than a single-use handout.

What is the difference between a cooling towel and a cooling scarf?
Cooling towels are larger, typically used over the head, neck, or shoulders. Cooling scarves and neck wraps are narrower, designed to sit around the neck with a snap or tie closure. Both use the same evaporative technology.

Are there eco-friendly cooling towel options?
Yes. Recycled PET options are available throughout this page. These towels use post-consumer recycled material and perform identically to standard polyester. Filter by material to find them.
