But, coincidentally, when the heat rises—especially to unbearably sweaty levels—we’re in constant search of a cooler reprieve. And since warmer weather lends itself to more travel time and being on the move, it’s key to have an arsenal of products that’ll keep you cool no matter where you roam.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best products to help keep your internal temperature regulated, from ice straws to cooling bed sheets.
