Summertime is sweet for anyone who loves a beach day, traipsing through a strawberry patch, or dining al fresco in your favorite sundress. At its peak, however, the high heat can be uncomfortable, especially if you don’t have a pool or a cool patch of shade. With the dog days of August to come, we found a handful of products to keep you comfy despite soaring temperatures, and they start at just $15. The JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan brings the breeze straight to you. It has two speeds that last up to 19 hours on a single charge, there’s a small flashlight on the end, and you can even use it to charge your phone. The folding design allows you to carry it around in your hand or prop it on a table, and it’s small enough to throw in a purse for relief on the go. Paired with the Sukeen Cooling Towel for an instant water-activated chill, you’ll be prepared for all the sunny outdoor activities. If you need another way to cool down immediately, an ice roller is a quick and inexpensive way to soothe overheated skin. While these tools are better known for calming inflammation, one editor on our team keeps one in the freezer for a quick post-workout cooldown in the summer months. The ESARORA Ice Roller head goes in the freezer to chill—just pop it onto the handle when you want a refreshing massage. Overheating when you’re trying to sleep is excruciating, but the right sleepwear can help. The Cozy Earth Short Sleeve Bamboo Pajama Set is my all-time favorite because the oversized fit is luxuriously comfortable and the super-soft material is as breathable as it gets. If you often wake up in a sweat no matter how low you set the AC, these PJs will help regulate your body temperature so you can get all the Zzzs you need. Finally, nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than an icy beverage. The HyperChiller HC2 takes less than 60 seconds to take the hot brew from your Keurig and transform it into an iced coffee. The container uses two frozen stainless steel chambers and a third 12.5-ounce reservoir for your tea, wine, spirits, cocktails, or juice, and then all it takes is a simple rinse to get it ready for the next round. |
