Summary
Sony’s Reon Pocket Pro Plus is being highlighted as a travel gadget for hot-weather trips, using a wearable neck-and-upper-back unit to cool users while sightseeing, hiking or spending time outdoors.
The 9.1-ounce device pairs with an app that lets users adjust cooling or warming levels, while a separate temperature-sensing tag supports a Smart Mode that automatically maintains a preferred setting.
U.K. pricing is listed at £199, about $267, while a U.S. price has not been announced; Sony says the product is slated for a summer 2026 U.S. release.
Tom’s Guide gave the upgraded model 4.5 out of 5, though it noted faster battery drain at higher settings and roughly a three-hour full recharge time; Reddit user feedback cited in the report was largely positive.
The pitch reflects a broader travel problem: staying comfortable in hot destinations, especially where air-conditioning may be milder than many U.S. travelers expect.
