Cool Rags - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes Cool Rags cooling hoods different?

Cool Rags cooling hoods are designed to be ultra-lightweight and breathable, providing maximum cooling without adding bulk. They are crafted from delicate, high-performance fabrics that offer superior comfort and temperature regulation.

2. How do I activate the cooling effect?

To activate the cooling properties, simply soak your Cool Rags hood in water, wring out the excess, and wear it. The fabric will help regulate temperature through evaporative cooling, keeping you cool for extended periods.

3. How long does the cooling effect last?

The cooling effect typically lasts for a couple hours, depending on the surrounding temperature and humidity. To extend cooling, re-wet the hood as needed.

4. How should I wash and care for my Cool Rags hood?

Due to the delicate nature of our cooling hoods, we recommend:

  • Hand washing in cold water with mild detergent.
  • Avoiding bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals.
  • Air drying only—do not use a dryer, as heat can damage the fabric.
  • Storing in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Machine washing is possible, but not recommended

8. Are Cool Rags cooling hoods reusable?

Yes! Our cooling hoods are designed for multiple uses. With proper care, they will continue to provide cooling relief for a long time.

9. Do Cool Rags hoods provide UV protection?

While our cooling hoods offer some coverage, they are not rated for UV protection. We recommend pairing them with sunscreen or other sun-protective gear for maximum protection.

10. What should I do if my hood gets damaged?

Due to the delicate fabric, handle your Cool Rags hood with care. If it develops a tear, avoid pulling or stretching it further. If the damage affects performance, it may be time for a replacement.

We recommended unbuttoning the hood with care.
