Custom Cooling Towels for Sports and Heat
Soak it, wring it, snap it, and a cooling towel stays cool against the neck as the water evaporates. That trick makes this towel a favorite at races, summer camps, roofing jobs and outdoor concerts. The collection includes nine styles.
Several are made from recycled PET, including standard and large sport towels and a neck wrap printed in full color. Others include the Alpha fitness towel, a dye sublimated version, a 12 x 31.5 inch towel, one that stores in a clip pouch, and a Slowtide Mesa towel in microfiber. Pricing starts at $2.49.
How the Styles Differ
- Recycled sport towels: lightweight PET towels in two lengths, low enough in cost to hand one to every runner at the finish line.
- Neck wrap: shaped to sit around the collar, printed in full color for detailed sponsor logos.
- Clip pouch towel: folds into a small case that hooks to a belt loop or backpack, handy for crews and coaches.
- Slowtide Mesa: a 30 x 14 inch microfiber towel with an embroidered logo, a better fit for a golf or tennis gift.
Screen printing covers most of the lineup, full color appears on four towels, and the Slowtide model is embroidered. Minimums go from 25 to 250 pieces, and a typical run leaves the shop within 10 to 12 business days. Construction firms, utility companies and landscaping businesses also stock them for staff working through July and August, so a cooling towel can double as a safety gesture and a branded handout.

Frequently Asked Questions
A cooling towel is designed to be soaked in water, wrung out and snapped in the air. As the water evaporates from the fabric, the towel feels cooler than the air around it. Draped over the neck or head, it gives quick relief during outdoor work, races and summer games.
The Cooling Sport Towel in Recycled PET starts near $2.49, with a large version at about $2.65. Fitness and neck wrap towels run $2.69 to $4.69, and the recycled towel with a clip pouch is about $5.98. The Slowtide Mesa microfiber towel is the premium choice at roughly $23.88.
They are a summer staple for 5K races and charity walks, youth and adult sports teams, gyms and fitness studios, construction and landscaping crews, utility companies and music festivals. Companies with heat safety programs use them to remind outdoor workers to stay cool.
A standard sport towel is the budget pick for big crowds. The neck wrap in recycled PET stays in place while working or walking. The towel with a clip pouch packs into a small case that hangs from a bag, and the 12 x 31.5 inch towel covers more of the neck and shoulders.
Orders begin at 25 towels for some styles and at 250 for others. Plan on 10 to 12 production days plus a $45 to $110 setup charge. Order in early spring so towels are ready before the first heat wave.
Seven towels are screen printed, which suits a bold logo on the fabric. Four are printed in full color, including the neck wrap in recycled PET, for detailed artwork. The Slowtide Mesa towel is embroidered. Three towels are made from recycled materials.
