Summer holidays are a great time for soaking up the sun, but if your booked trip location is a little hotter than you were expecting this year \u2014 dare I say it, slightly too hot \u2014 it’s worth making a plan to keep yourself comfortable enough to enjoy the break. Below, I’ve rounded up my keep-cool kit list for tackling too-balmy summer days.<\/p>\n

To start off, arm<\/a> yourself with a portable fan. Both Shark<\/a> and Dyson<\/a> have come out with stellar options this summer. The Shark ChillPill<\/a> has a cooling plate and misting function, for a multi-pronged attack on the heat, while the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool<\/a> is just a straightforward fan… but an extremely effective one (we preferred the HushJet in our side-by-side tests<\/a>). If you’re holidaying more locally, I’ve also included a couple of cordless desktop fans that would be great for more general use, including in the bedroom while you’re trying to sleep.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’d also seek out some good insulated containers for your food and drinks \u2014 Yeti and Hydro Flask make my favorite water bottles (go for a straw cap to encourage you to keep sipping on-the-go) and soft coolers. Finally, I’ve included some cheaper products for a quick hit of instant coldness: snappable cold towels and a sleep mask you can pop in the freezer.<\/p>\n

Cool customers<\/p>\n
