Cooling Wearable Fans Gain Popularity with New Neck and T‑Shirt Designs
A range of portable cooling devices is being marketed for hot summer weather. In Canada, four neck‑mounted fans sold on Amazon are highlighted, priced between $25 and $50. Features include metal thermoelectric cooling plates, three cooling levels (down to about 15 °C), multiple wind‑speed settings, battery capacities from 3,500 mAh to 6,000 mAh, and runtimes ranging from three to 24 hours.
In Japan, a fan‑integrated T‑shirt called “Saruhiya Shirt” is promoted at ¥2,999. The shirt has a mesh pocket that holds a small fan powered by an external power bank, offering three speed settings and optional cooling gel packs for a chilled breeze. It is marketed as a lightweight, low‑cost alternative to bulkier jacket‑mounted fans.
Both products target consumers who want hands‑free cooling during outdoor activities, commuting, or everyday tasks.
