When it’s blazingly hot, don’t you dread leaving the air-conditioned comfort of your home? Maybe you’ve tried an ice-soaked towel around your neck — but that’s nothing compared to the long-lasting, total-body comfort of our Personal Cooling System™. It’s the best way to stay comfortable — and avoid heat stress — when walking, mowing, gardening, watching sports or concerts…just about any activity, anywhere.

Our wearable invention houses a patented, miniature evaporative-cooling system. Just fill with a few ounces of water, place around your neck and switch it on: A quiet motor drives a tiny fan that creates evaporative cooling; flexible sides hold aluminum cooling plates against your neck — and your entire body enjoys up to four hours of relief. What’s more, the fan inside adds even more cooling by directing a gentle breeze over the back of your neck.

Features two settings: LO helps you feel significantly cooler than the hot, dry air around you; switch to HI for extra comfort on the hottest days. Comes with 2-oz. water bottle for on-the-go refilling. It’s trim and lightweight: the sleek body weighs just 10 oz. empty; 14 oz. filled. Runs on one AA battery (order separately). One-year warranty. Select silver or cobalt blue. Created by Sharper Image Design. 

Consumer Test
We tested this Personal Cooling System under the grueling conditions in the hot aircraft in the South Texas summer.  High temperature and high humidity made for worst case test conditions.  We were skeptical that this device would help us in the hot cockpit.  Much to our surprise, the Personal Cooling System worked well and cooling was felt immediately.  The key was filling the liquid reservoir with cold water just before our flight.  The mini battery-powered fan created a misting effect on our neck which in turn evaporated.  This evaporating system cooled our neck area quickly.  It certainly did not turn the 95-degree day into a chilly one, however, the effects were significant and well worth the investment.  It was especially comforting on flights with weak air conditioning.  It is an integral piece of our flight gear this summer!  Altogether a well functioning machine. 

After a brutal summer, the results are in...  The Personal Cooling System made a big impact.  We donned it during the aircraft ground preflight inspection - even before entering the hot aircraft.  It begins misting right away and provides relief.  On really hot days, we noticed the reservoir would run out of water after several hours of continuous use - however, a re-supply bottle is included in the purchase and this extra water can be added when the internal reservoir becomes empty.  The key to getting this device to work well is to fill it chock-full of really cold water.
