We don’t just do heated clothing. Welcome to our 2024 neck cooler guide.
Who uses neck coolers?

How do they work?
We have two types of cooling neckbands:
Evaporative
The evaporative neck coolers work by absorbing many times their weight in water. As this water evaporates, heat is moved away from the body, cooling you down!
- Made of non-toxic absorbent polymers, PVA, or microfiber fabric
- Reusable
- Starts working as soon as it gets wet
- 1-2 hours of cooling time depending on the style
- Requires re-soaking for extended cooling time
- Intense cooling at the start with gradual dissipation
- Less effective in highly humid conditions
