How does it work?
Cold Factor cooling towels work by using hyper evaporative cooling technology to create its cooling effect. The towel acts like a sponge and absorbs 10X its weight in water when fully saturated. The addition of water to the towel as well as airflow is what activates the technology. After saturating in water (water of any temperature will work) we suggest giving the towel a few shakes to increase air exposure to kick start the cooling.
How long does the cooling last?
Once activated, the towel will stay cool for up to 5 hours. Total cooling duration will depend on a variety of variables, with the most important factor being the amount of water in the towel. In a very dry climate, the towel will dry out faster then when in a humid environment. As the towel starts to dry out and becomes stiff, simply rewet to quickly reactivate.
Why does the Cold Factor cooling towel last longer than other brands selling PVA towels?
At Cold Factor, we set out to improve the PVA cooling towel technology by working with technical cooling experts. Some brands like to add a busy pattern onto one side of the towel because it hides imperfections in the product and allows them to use less of the cooling PVA material. When you add a pattern to the towel, it compresses the amount of cooling material that is available to absorb water and in turn, reduces the cooling duration. The amount of water held in an evaporative product has a direct correlation to how long it stays cool. At Cold Factor, we believe in offering the highest quality product and strategically minimized the amount of pattern on the towel to provide our customers the very best experience.
Why choose a PVA towel over a microfiber options?
Good question! There are different types of cooling technologies available depending on a customers personal preference. PVA material is an advanced option that acts as a sponge and absorbs more water than microfiber, making a longer lasting option. PVA also offers a more regulated evaporative effect than microfiber. Testing shows it cools more efficiently. PVA is also thicker and provides effective UPF protection better than microfiber, by blocking the suns harmful UV rays.
Is this the kind with polymer crystals inside? When you get it wet, it absorbs and enlarges?
No, there are no polymer crystals inside a Cold Factor cooling towel. This means no slimy residue or mess. The towel is made of 100% PVA material that acts as an absorbent sponge to provide cooling relief.
Can these be cut with no problems?
Yes, Cold Factor cooling towels can be cut to a desired shape. There is a mesh lining on the inside of the towel that stabilizes the PVA material. Upon cutting the towel, you may notice a few frays from the mesh, but the towel will active and perform as intended.
What are the care instructions?
The towel is conveniently machine washable on gentle cycle or can be hand washed with gentle detergent. Please note that for best results and continued use the towel should be air dried and not placed in a machine dryer.
How long will the towel last?
Cold Factor cooling towels are designed to provide a premium cooling solution that is reusable and long lasting. With proper care the towel will last for several years.

I bought this, hoping it would be as good or better than the old-fashioned neck snakes that kept you cool for hours. This one dries out quickly in the Arizona heat and just not that great.

Doesn’t keep the cold the way it is advertised. It has been helpful keeping me out longer on 100 degree +++ Arizona days. It’s nice that I can use this to extend my outdoor exercise.

I’m loving this 3 pack of cooling neck wraps! Since these arrived I’ve been wearing one all day everyday. I just wet it with water and it’s good to go. They’ve been staying cool for awhile when indoors. I haven’t spent much time outside during this heatwave, but they have been helping to keep me cool when walking to or from my car. One thing I would change is to make them a little longer in length.

Isn't cols in the least. Cool at best. Waste of money. I put it in the freezer to see if it is an improvement. Got these for hiking. It's more of an annoyance having it around the neck since it's not even cool. Don't care for whatever material it's made out of either.

I was not sure this would work, but it does a good job. I put one around my neck and one around my waist. It really makes life nicer at 110*. I don't know how it would work in high humidity. It doesn't get your clothes wet.
