3 articles · Updated · SlashGear · Jun 19

SlashGear rounded up 11 wearable personal-cooling gadgets aimed at helping people stay comfortable outdoors during summer heat, from neck air conditioners and waist fans to cooling vests and wrist-worn thermal devices.
The list frames personal climate control as a growing tech niche that cools individuals rather than entire rooms, using better batteries, airflow design and thermodynamic components for portable relief.
Sony’s Reon Pocket Pro Plus, Dyson’s HushJet Mini and Embr’s Wave 2 illustrate the range: some press chilled plates to the skin, some deliver focused quiet airflow, and others alter heat perception through wrist pulses.
Lower-cost and longer-use options also feature prominently, including a $30 Socool waist fan with up to 40 hours of runtime, plus work-oriented cooling vests and hat-mounted fans for extended outdoor use.
