TORRAS2024 COOLiFY ZONE Wearable Waist Fan with Max 15H Working Time, Strong Wind Power for Full Body Cooling fan, Rechargeable Belt Fan, Durable and Suitable for Outdoor Work and Sports

Lifelong Hyperhydrosis patient here. I’ve tried countless personal cooling devices trying to stay cool and limit my sweating so I can live a normal life. From skin cooling wrist “watches”, to neck cooling fans with and without the metal ice plates, vests that hold ice cubes, Kickstarter campaign that literally circulated ice water around inside a vest, I’ve tried it all. I just searched my past Amazon purchases for “fan” and have 84 orders, I’m shocked it’s not double that. I’ve even had surgery in attempt to correct my bad genetics of over sweating. Best money I have ever spent BY FAR on helping my oversweating was two of the original Coolify fans, along with three of this model, the Zone 2. While the Zone 2 is a tiny bit thicker, the increased air it moves is absolutely noticeable and worth the added width. I bought 2 more once I realized how much better they were over the first model. So yes, I have 5 of these and they are worth every penny. I wear just one at a time, but always have one plugged in at work and one at home, and 3 of them travel wherever I go. I wear it on my back pointing upwards, and even on the low setting, the constant flow of air up my back helps cool my body down better than anything other cooling product I’ve ever used. Yes, it works quite well even when outside cutting the grass. I still sweat of course, but much much less than when I don’t wear it. I believe it’s because of the heat dissipation it allows covering my entire back side. Would love to see a thin versions has a unit on front and back to allow airflow up both sides. I’ve spent thousands, nothing compares to the heat this thing removes from my body with it being able to be secretly hidden under my shirt and constantly blowing upwards. I wear scrubs at work, so my shirt is open on the bottom to allow open air flow. I never wear tucked in shirts because if my sweating, so I can’t comment on its effectives in that scenario, but these are an absolutely life changer for me when wearing untucked shirts. The low setting is fairly quiet and never noticed at my job, it’s not until I’m busy and starting to sweat, and crank it up to level 2 or 3, that my coworkers notice that my fan is doing its thing. Others at my hospital have bought this model and swear by it as well. I just bought a Zone 3 and going to try it out. Figured I’d give Torras some appreciation and write a review for their Zone 2 while I’m at it. I wear this product literally everywhere, not just at work, and it has certainly made an impact in my life. Much appreciated to the Torras people for making this product. I really hope they read this, because if they ever decide to stop making these, I’d like to be notified so I can buy enough to last me a lifetime. For a person suffering from lifelong Hyperhydrosis, this product is the needle in the haystack I’ve waited for my entire life. Something that actually cools me down enough to make me noticeably sweat less.

I live in Puerto Rico where it is very hot (all the time). We have about 4 acres of property to manage from a landscaping perspective. Every weekend I work extremely hard in the heat running the weed trimmers and the riding lawn mower. I often have to take a break and sit down next to my battery powered fans, hydrate, cool down, and then get back to work. I saw this device on Amazon while looking and wearable fan solutions and figured I would give it a try. I ordered two of them and they both arrived yesterday. We just happened to have an event on the property yesterday so I knew that this would be a great opportunity to test the device (power, runtime, comfort, etc). All I can say is that it was a very hot day yesterday and this device DID NOT DISSAPPOINT! It worked great! I was so happy with this purchase. I put it directly on to my skin in the front under my shirt and it provided a very nice breeze. However, my back was sweating more than anything else I as walked around the property, taking pictures, helping setup, as we hosted close to 100 people for an event. I then switched the device from the front to the back and it worked great. It shot a consistent stream of cool air up my back and it felt great. I didn't do any yard work while wearing it yet (that will happen next week), but it worked great. It was fully charged when I arrived around 130pm and the event ended around 6pm. I kept it on power level 2 pretty much the whole time and the battery lasted the whole event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product for those that work outside or hike a lot in the sun for many hours. This is going to be of great assistance while tending to my landscaping duties.

Overall, it's a cool idea (see what I did there), but think about "how" you expect to use it. I also tried the Coolify2 neck cooling device.First of all, this is a portable fan rather than the thermoelectric (primary) cooling of the Coolify2. It does have a pouch containing a layer of heat-sensitive gel that goes against your body, but that part is a less effective way to move heat- and only works when it's against your skin.Different ways you might wear it that DIDN'T work for me:* On your lower back over your clothes: No cooling effect since evaporative cooling requires blowing over your skin, and the fan is too small to really cool the back of your head (and it's probably angled wrong for that). The gel isn't in contact with your skin either.* On your waist over your clothes: Similar, but a little more useful since your head sticks out more in front, you might catch a slight breeze. But barely enough to be worth the effort. if you have a gut, it's in the way. Oops.* Under your clothes: Kind of like flapping your shirt to cool off. If there's enough room to get some airflow, it might help, but again it's evaporative cooling, so it needs to move the moisture off your skin, which it can't do without sufficient airflow.* Over your clothes across your upper chest: Now we're talking... or we're not, because it's surprisingly loud when it's less than a foot below your ears. Quite the awkward look, but you get a nice breeze on your face/chin. But too loud, even on the lowest setting.* Across your belly: Nope, if you have any kind of a gut, it's uncomfortable and will mis-angle the airflow.* As a portable fan (not worn): Not powerful enough and negates the point of its minaturized design. Get a camping fan.One way that DID work:* On your bare skin: This was the only mode that worked. Worn across my lower back (shirtless), on a sweaty hot yardwork day, it actually helped by constantly cooling my skin as I worked. I was still hot but it added some comfort. The noise level is fine with the additional separation from myears. But note any bending or stooping changes the angle so it stops blowing on my skin.Mind, this is only effective if the dew point is sufficient for evaporation off your skin, and if you plan to be shirtless. Even so, I think the Coolify2 works better for the same uses (I tested on the same day).Other notes: USB-C based charging. thank you. Carry bag is included along with 2 lengths of elastic wearing straps. Since it straps on, it won't fall off.Other thoughts: mine might have been a bad copy, but the last charge LED kept blinking after extended charging, so possible defect or charging issue. The power button (pictured) is also the intensity setting, and it's sort of a pain to find it when worn behind you.For me, the Coolify2 is preferable in every case I would wear this product, and if it's not on my person, I'd rather use a more powerful external fan (ie a camping fan).As much as I like the innovation of this fan, mine ended up going back because I couldn't envision using it with any frequency. Go through my list and think about how you'd wear it before buying.
