Products to Keep You Cool

It’s hard to believe, but we’re almost halfway through July already! This means that for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the summer heat is now in full force. For many endurance athletes, their summer training is also in full force as they prepare for upcoming fall marathons, triathlons, and more.


It can be hard to manage serious training during these hot summer days, which is why at Always Advancing, we offer a wide range of products to help athletes train safely and stay cool. Check out the list below for products your team members or race participants are sure to love!


  • Handheld water bottles: stay hydrated during your training sessions with our handheld water bottles! Equipped with a strap for easy carrying, we can make these collapsible bottles in a variety of sizes.
  • Car seat covers: keep your car seats clean and dry after a hard workout with our customizable covers! An added bonus: these covers also protect you from hot car seats! See how easy they are to use here.
  • Sweat towels: keep the sweat out of your eyes and stay dry during your workout with custom cooling towels. We can make any size towel out of a variety of materials.
  • Tank tops: we can make tank tops in a variety of materials as well, including dry-fit polyester which is known for its moisture-wicking properties.
  • Hats/visors: keep the sun off your face with our custom hats and visors! Our baseball hats and visors can be made with adjustable straps to fit all head sizes. Check out some of the different hat styles we've made here.
