This study evaluated the cooling properties of summer cooling towels of different brands by studying the water vapor transmission behavior. All the samples were found to provide a cooling effect at first contact after being wetted. The samples of N-rit showed the highest cooling effect followed by Cooldyxm and Ice Towel, whereas Perfect Fitness had the poorest cooling effect.
