How does it work?
Cold Factor cooling products work by using hyper evaporative cooling technology to create its cooling effect. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers absorb 5X its weight in water when fully saturated. The addition of water, as well as airflow is what instantly activates the technology. After saturating in water (water of any temperature will work) we suggest giving it a few shakes to increase air exposure to kick start the cooling.
How long does the cooling last?
Once activated, the material will stay cool for up to 2 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 than when in a humid environment. As the towel starts to dry, simply rewet to quickly reactivate.
What makes Cold Factor different than other brands?
At Cold Factor, we set out to improve evaporative cooling technology by working with industry leading experts. Some brands like to add moisture wicking treatments to create a cooling effect at a cheaper price. Unfortunately, this is only temporary and washes off after multiple washes. While we do have a moisture wicking treatment on our microfiber cooling products, we also utilize fibers that have an inherent hydrophilic/hydrophobic core to ensure the cooling you love and need lasts the lifetime of the product. At Cold Factor, we believe in offering the highest quality and strategically design our products to provide our customers the very best experience.
Why choose microfiber cooling options?
Good question! There are different types of cooling technologies available depending on a customers personal preference. Microfiber cooling is soft when dry and activated, unlike PVA which tends to dry stiff. Microfiber is portable, easy to activate and wear on the go. It’s also an effective material for sun protection and offers UPF protection by blocking the sun’s 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 Cold Factor products. This means no slimy residue or mess.
Can this product be used to wipe sweat off while you’re working out?
Yes, it can be used to wipe away sweat during a workout. It is soft enough to be used to wipe away sweat on the face and neck without irritation and the anti-odor treatment ensures there is not unpleasant scents.
What are the care instructions?
All products are 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.
