How does a cooling towel work?
Soak the towel in water, wring it out, and drape it around your neck or forehead. The wet fabric draws heat away from your skin through evaporation, cooling you down fast between bouts or during breaks in training. The effect lasts as long as the towel stays damp — just re-wet it to reactivate.
Why use a cooling towel for fencing?
Fencing kit traps heat — mask, jacket, plastron, and glove all limit airflow. A cooling towel at 30 × 84 cm fits easily in your bag and gives you a quick way to drop your core temperature between pools or DE bouts, especially in warm competition halls.
Can I use the cooling towel for other sports?
Absolutely. Any sport where you overheat — running, cycling, gym training, outdoor courts — benefits from a wet cooling towel. The 30 × 84 cm size is compact enough for any kit bag.
How do I care for my Azza cooling towel?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners — they coat the fibres and reduce the cooling effect. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
