I am happier in winter than in summer. It is not that I love the cold, more that I hate the heat so much and that I prefer to shiver rather than swelter. So anything that makes the summer heat more bearable is OK in my book. Some of these products and gadgets could help soothe summer suffering perhaps:
This little rechargeable portable fan is something you can carry along with you in a handbag and use anytime you're feeling hot. It has a misting feature that uses water previously filled inside. According to a product review, filling cold water lowers the temperature of air flow as well.
I first saw these in some fancy restaurant where the waiter placed this little object in from of me and then poured some water on with a flourish. The little object suddenly expanded and became a wet towel sort of thing. I have found these to be quite useful and refreshing when out of the home, while travelling and so on. They are convenient and a fun, novelty item.
This is a sort of handsfree, wearable water pack. The attached tube lets you sip water as and when you want without removing anything from a bag or pouring and without having to or hold a bottle, cup etc. this one has a breathable mesh back panel for circulation of air and also has zippered pockets for other essentials. This is great for runners, hikers or just your regular evening workout or bike ride because you don’t have to stop for a sip of water.
This is a climate control system for the bed in a sense. It has a cooling system and also a heating system (for winter obviously, not now). It has a powered ventilation cooling system that is ideal for those of us who feel very hot, for women having hot flashes or night sweats. It cools and also removes moisture.
Many of us feel uncomfortably hot around the face and the hairline and the sweat can be annoying and distracting as well. This cooling and heating device can help keep one comfy when the temperature is too high or too low. It is USB powered and portable so can be used at home, while doing chores, at the office, in the car, on the bike or outdoors.
This is a portable fridge that functions on a power bank that can be charged from a plug socket as well as solar power. It is a hybrid device that goes anywhere, even when you're off the grid or away from a power source so technically it sounds as though it can work during a power outage as well. for someone who always wished for a larger freezer, this summer gadget sounds great.
