How it works

Does it actually get cold, or is it just wet?
It genuinely cools. As the water evaporates it pulls heat away from the fabric, so the towel sits below the surrounding air temperature. That is why it feels cold on the skin rather than just damp, and you notice it within seconds of snapping it.
How long does the cold last?
Hours in normal conditions. It fades faster in high humidity and lasts longer in dry heat. When it starts to warm up, snap it in the air again to reactivate it. You only need to re-wet it once it has dried out completely.
Do I need ice, a fridge or any chemicals?
No. Water is the only thing it needs. There is nothing to charge, refill or replace, and no coating that wears off over time.
How do I activate it?
Three steps. Soak it in water, wring it out until it stops dripping, then snap it in the air three to five times. It is cold immediately.
Can I use cold water from the tap?
Yes, and it works with warm water too. Colder water simply gives you a stronger first hit.
What size is it?
It is sized to sit comfortably around the neck and shoulders, and folds down small enough to live in its bottle in your bag.

Who it's for

Can I use it for hot flushes?
Yes, it is one of our most common uses. Drape it across the back of the neck at the first sign of a flush. Many customers keep a second one by the bed for night sweats.
Is it safe for kids?
Yes, with supervision. Fold it smaller for a child and make sure it is wrung out properly so it is not dripping cold water on them.
Can I use it on my dog?
Yes. Lay it over the back or chest, never wrapped tightly, and check the skin underneath every so often. Take it off if your dog seems uncomfortable.
Is it any good for tradies and outdoor work?
That is exactly what it is built for. Under a hard hat, around the neck, or on the forearms between tasks. Re-wet it at the tap whenever it dries out.
Will it work at the gym?
Yes. Clip the bottle to your bag, snap the towel between sets, and drape it on your neck during rest. It also doubles as a normal sweat towel.

Care

How do I wash it?
Machine wash cold with like colours. Hang to dry or tumble dry cold. Never iron it.
Can I use fabric softener?
No, and this matters. Softener clogs the fibres and is the single most common reason a cooling towel stops working. Skip bleach too.
How long will it last?
With correct washing, years. There is no coating to wear off, so the cooling comes from the weave itself.
Can I leave it wet in the bottle?
For a day or two, yes. Beyond that, rinse it and let it dry fully so it does not go musty.
It smells after heavy use.
Rinse in cold water, wash with a mild detergent and no softener, and dry it completely before storing.
