Racket Group brings back the Oshobori hot towel

Oshobori hot towels: the “new” comfort item

Just a few short years after the oshobori hot towel service bordered on extinction in North America, this staple in in-flight passenger comfort is making a striking comeback. In the last year, Racket Group of Kansas City has seen their hot towel sales increase as airlines have started to once again meet the demands of their first and business class passengers.

“Hot Towels are one of the most soothing, comforting items an airline can give their passengers,” said Dirck Hoagland, Racket Group’s new president & CEO. “Passengers expect this service from the world’s leading carriers.”

Racket Group carries 8, 12, and 16 pack hot towels in-stock, available for immediate shipment. The towels are 100 percent cotton disposable terrycloth with a light lemon scent, and can be distributed hot or cold.
