[2024 edition] Editor's Picks: Top Products for Beating the Heat and Preventing Heatstroke

The summer of 2024 is the hottest summer in the world. Heat protection goods are indispensable during the hot season. Since our staff members are out and about every day for interviews, we are also working hard to prevent heat stroke.

So this time, we will introduce some heat stroke prevention and recommended countermeasures. All of the items are carefully selected, so please use them as a reference for heat stroke countermeasures.

A classic way to beat the heat!
Handheld fan/Handy fan

Hand-held fans and handy fans are the standard for heat protection. Small handy fans are very useful when going out or working at a desk!

Models with extra features such as compact folding, carabiner attachment, rechargeable by mobile battery, and cooling plate type to make it even cooler are also appearing one after another.

If you use a handheld fan to beat the heat, it's effective to combine it with a wet towel or mist! The evaporative cooling effect will make you feel even cooler.

Reusable cooling items!
Ice Ring & Ice Met

The "Ice ring" is becoming a standard item for heat stroke countermeasures. It is perfect for heat stroke countermeasures because it cools down the heat of the whole body by cooling the neck! It is also important to note that it can be used repeatedly by putting it in the freezer or cooling it with cold water.

Another item that has been gaining attention this year is the "Ice met." Just put it inside your hat and your head will stay cool. As the name suggests, it can also be attached to your helmet, so it's great for commuting by bike to and from work or school.

Eco-friendly cooling items that don't use electricity
Ice pack

"Ice packs" have a strong image of icing for sports, but they are also eco-friendly cooling goods that can be used repeatedly! Products with excellent design are appearing one after another. Cloth ice packs are easy to apply to the affected area, while silicone ice packs are easy to clean. It is best to choose a material that is resistant to condensation or easy to wipe off if condensation does occur!

Because it has a high heat resistance, it can also be used as a hot water bottle in the winter, making it useful all year round.

Individually wrapped, easy to carry!
Cool towels

A "Cool towel" is a thick sheet of cooling water that absorbs heat and evaporates. The heat of vaporization helps to dissipate heat from the skin. Individually wrapped, making it easy to carry around!

"Will it be too hot today?" It is a good item to have as a good-luck charm for those days when you wonder if it will be too hot.

Can be used quickly on the nape of the neck and nape of the neck!
Neck cooler to apply

A stick-type neck cooler that can be quickly applied to the nape of the neck without getting your hands dirty. Its compact size makes it easy to fit in your pocket or pouch!

When you're on the train or out and about and feel sticky or hot, this product can quickly take care of your concerns. It also feels great when applied to the forehead!

Spray directly onto your skin for a comfortable cooling sensation
Handy Mist

A handy mist that can be used in a swoosh when you feel hot. The fine mist instantly removes heat from the skin and cools it. The pleasantly cool feeling makes this item easy to use even for those who do not like to be cooled down to a crisp.

In addition to being useful when you're out and about, it's also great for indoor use, such as when using a hair dryer or cooking in the kitchen!

Spray it on for a cool feeling before heading out!
Shirt Shower

Shirt shower is a very popular cooling item!

Simply spray on clothes before going out and feel cool and cool due to the effect of vaporization heat and menthol! The cool sensation lasts from 30 minutes to about 1 hour. Even once dry, the cool, pleasant cooling sensation continues every time you perspire.

Spray it on your sheets and pajamas before going to sleep to cool down hot and humid nights.

Just give it a swish and feel refreshed!
Dry shampoo

Dry shampoo keeps your hair clean without using water and is also a great cooling item!

Just by applying it to hair and scalp, ingredients that adsorb sweat and sebum reduce stickiness, so you can take care of your hair and scalp in a short time and quickly, regardless of where you are. If you want to keep your hair silky smooth, we recommend the spray type! It can also be used in times of disaster, so it's a great emergency preparedness tool!

It's essential to beat the heat!
Body Sheet

Body sheets are a staple of heat protection, but they are also indispensable! The key point of body sheets is that they wipe away perspiration quickly and instantly to make you feel cool.

There are many different types available, including those that are smooth to use, have a perfume-like scent, and contain a high concentration of cooling ingredients.

We have introduced selected items in this issue!

The hot summer is still continuing. When you go out, be sure to hydrate frequently and take measures against heat stroke to enjoy the summer.
