Cooling Accessories Guide
Beyond vests, there's a whole toolkit of portable cooling — towels, fans, misters, neck coolers, and more. Here's every category and when to reach for it.
Cooling for Every Situation
Each accessory cools a little differently — evaporation, airflow, mist, or powered cold. Match the tool to the moment.
Cooling Towels
Wet, wring, and snap to activate. Evaporative towels chill your neck and shoulders for hours, then refresh with any water.
- No batteries or freezing
- Hours of cooling per soak
- Packs down tiny

Neck Fans & Coolers
Wearable cooling that targets the pulse points in your neck — bladeless neck fans and chillable wraps that work while you move.
- Bladeless, hair-safe designs
- Targets pulse points
- Rechargeable batteries
- Walks, errands, events
Handheld & Misting Fans
Portable rechargeable fans and misting fans that drop the felt temperature instantly — mist plus airflow is the fastest cool-down there is.
- Immediate wind-chill effect
- Misting for extreme heat
- Desk, clip, and handheld styles
- Patios, games, commutes
Personal Air Conditioners
Thermoelectric plates and wearable AC units create real cold on demand — no water, no ice, just press a button.
- Instant cold plates

Coolers & Hydration
Soft-sided and backpack coolers keep drinks, ice packs, and PCM inserts cold for hours — the support system for every other cooling product.
- Keeps recharge packs ready
- Backpack and tote styles
- All-day ice retention
- Beach, jobsite, tailgate
Cooling Bedding
Gel pillow pads, mattress toppers, and powered bed cooling that pull heat away all night — for anyone who runs hot after dark.

Stack Accessories for the Hottest Days
The real trick is combining tools: a soaked towel over your shoulders, a neck fan for airflow, and a mister for the extreme afternoons. Each cools differently, so together they cover you however the heat shows up.
