Your hack to staying cool, calm, and collected all season long.
Between hitting the gym, working all day, then running our errands in the evening, sometimes a quick shower to freshen up is out of the picture. That's where body wipes come in.

Duke Cannon developed their Field Towels with the help of military service members. These towels have a refreshing, cooling feel thanks to ingredients of menthol and aloe, and they come in sizable sheets that make it easy to get clean fast. We also like the fact the wipes come in a resealable pouch, so you can keep a bag of these bad boys in your car or at your desk in an organized manner.
