Japan’s last summer was so blisteringly hot that portable Ice Packs trended in a major way on social media. They’re simple to use: fill the silicone ice bag with water and freeze it in advance; then, when it’s time to go out, stick the bag in the special insulated tube and walk around all day cool as a cucumber. Thanks to the vacuum-insulated structure based on decades of thermos-making, the Ice Pack stays at freezing point for a maximum of 16 hours. Hold the Ice Pack against your neck or under your arm for extra protection from heatstroke when doing sports or sightseeing. They are great for not only children but parents, too.
