While walking around the various Disney World parks lately, I've noticed an increasing trend of people wearing personal neck fans to keep cool in the relentless scorching sun. As I've started digging deeper into this phenomenon, I'm realizing that even calling it a “trend” might be shortsighted because, much like having a way to stay hydrated all day, this sort of gizmo is likely to become practically standard-issue summerwear in the decades to come, sad as that is to say.

Well, if you are going to buy one of these things, you might as well get a good one, and the Comlife neck fan is what I'm recommending today.

This thing can move a LOT of air to keep your neck and face cool and refreshed throughout the day, and it's quite comfortable to wear over that time, leaving your hands free all the while. It has three speed settings and a 5000mAh rechargeable battery (with USB-C port) that offers around 4–8 hours of usage on a single charge.

They market it as “bladeless,” and while it's true that the neck vents themselves aren't spinning blades to move air, there are still a pair of high-speed rotor blades concealed in the base of the fan that do the work of drawing in air. Most reviewers say they've had no issues with hair getting caught in those rotors, but there are a few people who complain otherwise, so if your hair is on the longer side, I recommend pulling it back while wearing the fan.

Get this neck fan for $32–34 on Amazon depending on your choice of black, white, or pink color.
