TDS Cooley™ Cooling Towel

Detailing in the heat hits different when the vehicle is hot, the pavement is hotter, and the job still has hours left in it. The TDS Cooley Cooling Towel is made for those days. Wet it, wring it out, snap or wave it through the air, and wear it around your neck, shoulders, or head for cooling relief while you keep moving.

The idea behind Cooley is simple: when you sweat, we want you to think TDS. We build tools for the vehicle, but this one is for the person doing the work. Whether you are washing, polishing, vacuuming, pressure washing, working in a garage with no airflow, or standing in direct sun, Cooley gives you a simple way to cool down without adding bulk to your setup.

Cooling towels work through evaporative cooling. Moisture held in the fabric spreads across the towel, and as that moisture evaporates, it helps pull heat away from your skin. Airflow helps reactivate the cooling effect, which is why a quick snap or wave can bring the towel back to life during a long detail.

At 11.25 x 38 inches, TDS Cooley has enough length to sit comfortably around your neck or shoulders without constantly getting in the way. Choose the lightweight white version when you want maximum airflow and minimal bulk, or the heavyweight black version when you want a thicker, more substantial towel with more fabric mass.

Choose Your Cooley:

• TDS Cooley Lightweight - White | 197 GSM: Thin, breathable, and easy to wear through a long wash or mobile detail. Best for airflow, low bulk, and the detailer who wants to forget the towel is even there.
• TDS Cooley Heavyweight - Black | 362 GSM: Thicker, heavier, and more substantial in hand. Best for detailers who prefer a denser towel feel with extra fabric mass and a more premium drape.

Key Benefits:

• Cooling towel designed for hot detailing days, garage work, mobile jobs, and outdoor labor
• Simple wet, wring, and snap activation
• Uses evaporative cooling with no batteries, ice packs, or refrigeration required
• Can be reactivated throughout the day with clean water and airflow
• Long 11.25 x 38 inch size gives good neck and shoulder coverage without feeling bulky

Goes Great With:

Keep TDS Cooley close on hot wash days with the TDS Wash Mitt for contact washing, the TDS 1400 GSM Twisted Loop Drying Towel for drying, the TDS 400 GSM Utility Towel for general wipe downs, and the TDS Foam Cannon Pro V2.0 (Single) for a cleaner exterior wash setup. The tools handle the vehicle. Cooley helps take care of the person doing the work.

How It Works:

TDS Cooley uses evaporative cooling. When the towel is wet, moisture spreads through the fabric. As that water evaporates into the surrounding air, it helps carry heat away and creates a cooling feel against your skin.

The process works best with airflow. When the towel starts to feel warm, re-wet it if needed, wring out the excess water, and snap or wave it through the air to help redistribute moisture and encourage evaporation.

How to Use:

• Soak or thoroughly wet the Cooley with clean water.
• Wring out excess water so the towel is damp, not dripping.
• Snap or wave the towel through the air several times.
• Place it around your neck, shoulders, head, or another area where cooling relief is needed.
• Re-wet and reactivate as needed throughout the day.
• Wash after heavy use and allow the towel to fully dry before storage.

Built for Detailing, Useful Everywhere:

TDS Cooley was designed with detailers in mind, but heat does not care what you are working on. Keep one around for washing cars, polishing, mobile detailing, garage work, pressure washing, mowing, gardening, hiking, workouts, sporting events, yard work, or any other time you are outside getting something done.

Throw it in your truck. Keep one in the shop. Put one near your wash setup. The point is not to make another towel you forget about. It is to make something you reach for every time the temperature starts climbing.
