This season's top-bought items all have one major thing in common: they're cool — and we don't mean that in a Jane-Fonda-starring-in-a-Gucci-campaign kind of way. Temperatures are reaching hot-hot heights and R29 readers are carting up goods to keep them cool for the summer. After sifting through purchase data from popular shopping stories, we pulled out the most wanted buys for staying sweat-free during these sizzling times.
Ahead, a master list of R29 readers' favorite Fahrenheit-fighting finds (in the likely event you're sitting in a mini-perspiration puddle right now): from
breathable sheets for the crispest of snoozes to
antibacterial face masks with moisture-wicking properties. We even came across an
under-the-radar fan on super-sale for all you Dyson devotees out there. Sit back, crank up that leaky AC unit, and brace yourselves to handle the heat like a calm, cool, and collected pro.
We’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

This R29 reader-approved option is lined with a unique breathable technical fabric that allows moisture to escape without feeling uncomfortable against the skin.
