Thanko Neck Cooler Pocket

The handheld fan has become one of the most useful weapons against the summer but sometimes it is simply not enough. The summer can be so bad that you need some extra muscle, which comes in the form of wearable coolers. These are effective but tend to be on the heavy side and when the temperature is 40°C (104°F) with 98% humidity, carrying extra weight is the last thing you want. So what you need is a powerful wearable cooler that's also light. In other words, the Thanko Neck Cooler Pocket!

At about 180 g (6.3 oz), the Thanko Neck Cooler Pocket is lighter than pretty much any similar device. Add that it only measures between 30 x 45 x 80 mm (5.1 x 1.8 x 3.1") and 160 x 45 x 160 mm (6.3 x 1.8 x 6.3") and that it is folding, and you have a device that looks more like a toy than cooling equipment. Put it on, adjust it so its cooling plates touch your neck, and fire it up, and you will be surprised: within two seconds, it cools you down by around -14°C lower than the environment: those 40°C (104°F) days will become a far more tolerable 23°C (73.4°F)!
