Hot weather can make you feel clammy, sticky, and just plain uncomfortable! Aside from staying hydrated and finding indoor places to hang out, certain accessories and clothing can help you stay cool in hot weather. In this post, we have compiled a list of items that will help you keep cool this summer.
Arctic Air Freedom Personal Air Cooler ($29.98, shop here)
One gadget we have found incredibly helpful on super-hot days is this compact and lightweight personal cooling device from Arctic Air. The rechargeable fan has three speeds and runs for up to six hours on a single charge.
Mission Cooling Hoodie Towel ($19.99, shop here)
When summer days get hot enough to make you uncomfortable, try this cooling hoodie/towel from Mission. It features a proprietary performance fabric that cools when soaked in water. Simply wring and snap it in the air to activate its cooling properties. The towel absorbs perspiration into the fabric core, which circulates water molecules to regulate the evaporation rate, prolonging the cooling effect.
Duluth Trading Co. Armachillo Cooling Headband ($19.95, shop here)
Keeping your hair out of your face and away from your neck is essential on hot and sticky days, but some headbands permeate the heat around your head, making it worse. However, the cooling headband is constructed of Made-in-the-Jade fabric technology that is cool to the touch, wicking away sweat and alleviating discomfort. The headband won’t stretch out, fits any head shape, and offers UPF 40 sun protection.
The North Face Horizon Breeze Brimmer ($45, shop here)
When you’re in the sun, it is always a good idea to wear a hat that shields your scalp and face. This hat is the perfect choice! Thanks to its FlashDry-Pro sweatband technology, it wicks away sweat and offers UPF 40+ protection. This product is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, earning its Seal of Recommendation for safe and effective UV protection.
OGL Instant Cooling Crew Neck Cropped T-Shirt ($39, shop here)
Breathable clothes are a must when the weather is boiling. This T-shirt from OGL is composed of CoolCotton Chill material that claims to provide an instant cooling sensation with moisture-wicking properties. Although we haven’t tried this particular shirt, this product claims it can cool you off quickly and effectively, with a temperature drop of 3° C in just 30 seconds and 10° C in one hour. The coolness remains long-lasting, making it ideal for hot weather or strenuous activity.
