When it’s extremely hot out, high temperatures and intense UV rays can make your time outside difficult to enjoy. Whether you’re taking a stroll, enjoying a fitness session or have a job that requires you to be outside for extended periods of time, you may be looking for some relief from the heat. Luckily, Sukeen’s innovative cooling hoodie towel protects your head from harsh UVA and UVB rays – and can bring a cold sensation when soaked in water and applied to the head.
The brand promises that when the towel is soaked in water and “activated” by snapping it a few times, it can offer a chilling sensation for up to three hours. (The sensation is created when the moisture from the towel absorbs the sweat from your skin.) It’s also equipped with a handy button faster to keep it securely in place, meaning it can come in handy during random hot flashes, outdoor activities like mowing the lawn or cycling, beach days, festivals, and more.
The nylon/polyester blend hoodie towel is made of microfiber that’s designed to feel light on your skin. The one-size-fits-all design makes this product ideal for anyone in need of an instant cool-down. The hood-shaped towels come in black, blue, grey, red, and green, and can be purchased individually or in packs of two, three, or four.
“These hooded cooling towels were perfect for our trip to Puerto Rico! These were a lifesaver to avoid the crankiness from too much heat and sun. We used these to walk the El Morro Fort on Old San Juan. Even my husband who doesn’t use these type of things, said it was perfect and truly saved him from over heating. Worth the price and good quality!” — Zaida
“I purchased a pair of blue and black ones maybe a year ago, and they’ve been an absolute lifesaver for working outside on hot, summer days. I dip mine into a cooler full of ice water and only wring it out about halfway before applying. They’re very effective at cooling down the head and body and really help to keep your temperature low. VERY easy to wash! I’ve tossed them in with loads of laundry time after time with no color bleeding or anything. I actually think I might buy a couple more.” — RightousFist
“I bought this on a whim. For the last week, I’ve been staying in an un air-conditioned Airbnb in Mexico with daily temperatures at 100°. In fact, the room never gets below 81. This “cooling hoodie” has been a lifesaver. To cool down, I can wipe my face with it, wrap it around my neck, or tuck it up into a loose “hat”. it’s been a lifesaver. It’s super lightweight, you can’t even hardly feel it on your head. doesn’t need to be sopping wet to work. As long as there’s still moisture in it, it keeps cooling and is extremely comfortable on your head.
Certainly “low tech” but very useful.
I can’t imagine traveling in the future without it. Even if it’s not particularly hot, it would be great to use to cool my head whenever I feel a headache coming on.” — Casey D.
