Moisture Management Behavior of Summer Cooling Towels

This study evaluated the cooling properties of summer cooling towels of different brands by analyzing the moisture management behavior. It was found that all the samples could provide a cooling effect at first contact after being wetted. The samples of Cooldyxm and Ice Towel showed the highest cooling effect followed by the N-rit samples, which was regarded as “fast absorbing and quick drying fabric, whereas Perfect Fitness samples had the poorest cooling effect and was labeled as “slow absorbing and slow drying fabric”. The reason may be explained by the yarn density, fabric structure and thickness.
